My #parkrun 2023 Journey

This year's running targets are:

To complete my 100th volunteer stint and get my 100 Volunteer T-shirt
To complete the Carlisle 5k Series
To run a 10k race every month of the year
To achieve ‘Single-Ton' badge (100 parkruns at the same location)
To achieve ‘Jetsetter' badge (parkruns in 5 different countries – hoping for Rotterdam & Isle of Man – possibly Sweden!)
To run a double or triple parkrun in Norway/Sweden/Denmark [A BIG TBC on this one!]
To run the Glasgow Great Scottish Run 10k
To get my weight below 11st

Ongoing Stretch Goals:

Run 5k in 25:55 or faster (the time I ran that distance in 2002 at age 37)

Run 10k in 51:41 or faster (the time I ran that distance in 2002 at age 37)

My parkrun tourism 2023 aspirations:

Whitehaven, Rothay Park, Rotterdam, Nobles (Isle of Man), Edinburgh and more [TBC] 🙂

132 – Saturday 21st January: parkrun cancelled due to ice, BUT ran 10k Carlisle Resolution on the Sunday

The Carlisle Resolution 10k, my first 10k for 2023. The ice kindly obliged by melting overnight, so it was a nice clear rural run from the racecourse. pic.twitter.com/xAwlvDWlrr

XBorder Carlisle to Gretna 10k

A great (and early) start for a Sunday at the XBorder Carlisle to Gretna 10k. A lovely, crisp morning and got my first decent time for a 10k since last summer. Running that last bit through Gretna Gateway, I thought the end would never come 🙂 pic.twitter.com/W13ew2Yh48

135 – Saturday 11th February: No parkrun due to holiday in Benidorm, however, 4 x beach runs to make up for it:

Four days, four T-shirts, four runs. Back in the UK tomorrow with a bag full of sports gear to wash 🙂 pic.twitter.com/I1izyzjX7L

Great 10k on Sunday at the Carlisle Half & 10k, I love it when the roads are closed and you get to run through the city. As an extra bonus, the nice lady at the finish line let me have 2 x packets of Haribo 🙂 pic.twitter.com/LLNxFAKpqb
