It has been a very long time since I last did a park run. I did enjoy them.
It is something I would like to get back into the habit of doing, the racing doesn't interest me I just find running in a group motivates me to keep going to the finish and giving it my all.
I used to have a friend that I would occasionally meet at said event but unfortunately, they have since moved down south and yh it isn't the full story but in short we no longer have contact.
There is a couple of parkruns in my town the only downside is that they are all far away from me with my local being around 3 miles away. not too far but without a bicycle, it makes things more difficult to get to and from the events.
Another reason I stopped was because I also work most weekends occasionally I get the odd one-off but I am hoping come autumm and beyond the working weekends will either become less or my shifts will start later in the day so I can participate in the parkruns.
