Falkirk Parkrun!
At last I managed to make it to this! Foggy morning but mild, family happily dropped at playpark a few 100m before the start, ready in time for a warm up and no expectations, other than to expect a bit of pain. Chatted to Ted and Val Finch and John Stevenson (legend) and we were off.
What I liked about this run was that it's one big loop so it's not very boring and it has some climbs, drops and flat and is mainly on tracks rather than tarmac. Found myself a decent, happy pace earlier on and stuck with it. Surprised at how painful the hill climb was even though I expected it.
More surprised to find my time not too far down on a very flat Harrogate course time - so I may be a bit fitter than I was in May/June.
Now I have a time to whittle down - Sub 20 by the end of the year is my first plan!
Great stuff!
