Local Parkrun

The local parkrun I wasn’t on the rosta to volunteer so I decided I would run it. What a day to pick wet, muddy and very windy. I got round to the distance I had covered on Week 9 Run 3 about 4.3km then it kicked in I had the hills to still do. It’s an uphill gradient but feels like Mount Everest at 4.5km so ended walking that bit until the downhill part and ran down and up to the finish. 36 mins time and 26 place out of 44.
