parkrundays: Denton Dene #56 and Leazes #165

Catching up with the last couple of weeks.

The Saturday before last, being home in Newcastle for the first time in a few weeks, I went to Denton Dene for the third time. Based on previous runs there I was expecting to run about 25 minutes, but surprised myself with an all-time PB – 23:26! I wasn’t even concentrating on time during the run, I just knew I was on for first lady and was trying not to let the second lady catch up with me! Really pleased as that is not an easy course. I did suffer a bit with my asthma for the rest of the day though – my lungs worked really hard for that one!

Went for a slightly steadier effort at Leazes this past Saturday – managed a good solid 24:29, which was still a course PB by a few seconds. I found it quite busy, but I’m sure it’ll return to normal once Town Moor returns next week. No photo as I forgot to take one.

Still to decide on my parkrun venue for this coming Saturday!
