Second run at the Oldham parkrun course at Alexandra Park. Finished 20th with a new pb time of 23:36.
The course is quite hilly which adds to the challenge that I set myself; beating my last time of 25:04 which I'm pleased to have done.
For those that don't know anything about parkrun (I didn't till a few weeks ago) it's a free 5k run round a number of parks in the UK, you just register online, turn up and run.
It's a great atmosphere; it's not about being first it's about having fun and challenging yourself to beat your best time. Now all I have to do is beat this time next week!
The runs I'm going to be doing are 10k but the parkruns are a great way of getting some shorter runs under my belt and practice running with other people, I have to be a lot more aware of what's going on around me!
