Catching up with the last couple of parkrundays!
The day before Manchester Marathon, Geth and I went to Wythenshawe parkrun in southwest Manchester for a shakeout run. There were a few tourists there but not a lot of people doing the marathon – it’s not close to the city centre (where most marathoners stay) so maybe that’s why. However, we were staying at one of the airport hotels so this one was the most convenient for us.
The parkrun is probably 60% on grass and it was REALLY muddy! I don’t see myself doing this one again, but if I did, I’d wear trail shoes. It was a really friendly parkrun and an interesting place, though.
This last weekend we were back at Town Moor. I had planned on Jesmond Dene originally, but as I was still recovering from the marathon, I decided to stick to a flatter one and run about 30 minutes with Geth again (and our friend Wasif who was doing a similar pace).
Nice to give the Manchester finisher t-shirts a run out 🙂
Haven’t 100% decided on this coming weekend yet!
