Parkruns

[claidheamhmor]

Not  much happening on the running side. I run during the week, sometimes with Wallace (he's so good!), and on weekends. I've done a few new parkruns in recent weeks:

• The Greenstone Hill Parkrun inaugural, in Edenvale, was a rough, largely rectangular course under power pylons, with a tough 1km uphill finish. 
• Leeupan Parkrun inaugural in Benoni was surprisingly nice. It's next to a township, and looked run down at first, but turned out to have a lovely wetlands area with bird, and the running course was an out-an-back on paving and bridges, almost now hills. I enjoyed it. It had rained the night before, and the path from the parking was sticky mud, so I looked like a genius for taking a spare pair of running shoes to drive home in.
• The Riverfield Parkrun this past Saturday, in Kempton Park, was a bit of farmland bounded by freeways, and luckily it wasn't a hot day, because it was out in the open. Morgan and I enjoyed checking out the geese and goslings in a pond afterwards.

I passed 1000km for the year a couple of days ago. Not as much as last year, but I'm happy. It looks like Morgan will do his 100th parkrun on the same day as I do my 300th, possibly on 1 Jan or close to it.
