Park Run Number 18
Well that’s 18 in total, ever. Only number 5 this year.
It was a tough one! I work most weekends and mostly nights too, so squeezing in park runs can be difficult. So, after a night shift it had to be!
It was grey, cold and it started to sleet and I would used to describe myself as a fair weather runner! I had forgotten my ear warmers and gloves but its only 5k right?
Storeys field park run is on my way home from work, it’s a very flat one but it is windy there! It was only my second time here so I was still getting used to the etiquette here and the route etc.
I keep finding myself at the start line mixed in with the super fast people which means I start off too quickly and get tired pretty quickly. But it has meant for both times at this park run I have got a PB!! First time 27:42 and second time, 27:01! I was previously averaging around 30 minutes.
The cold probably helped me with this weeks PB though. My hands were frozen and sore, my ears hurt and so did my lungs! I will definitely start keeping spare gloves in my car for any impromptu after work park runs.
