Town Moor parkrun typically doesn’t do a Christmas Day parkrun these days (it tends to be the smaller parkruns in Newcastle that are on for Christmas Day), so the event on the Saturday before Christmas is the one that’s specially themed. This is a lovely opportunity to celebrate the festive week with running friends and wear my loudest Christmas leggings, and this last Saturday was no exception (except for the fact that I wore Christmas shorts instead because it was mild – saved the loud leggings for the following day!).
We did consider a change of plan to Denton Dene as a friend was doing her 350th parkrun, but decided to stick to the quicker option. The winds were really strong but I somehow managed to finish 14 seconds faster than the week before, so I’m happy with that! Looking forward to the spring and getting back into 5k PB shape though.
The next parkrunday is Christmas Day, for the first of the two festive special event days. Geth and I have never done a Christmas Day parkrun before, but this year looks like being the first…
