Black Park parkrun May 2016
A weekly, free 5km run around a park? Are you sure? What?
Just sign up at the parkrun website, print off your barcode, turn up at your local run and off you go.
I started my parkrun adventures on the 21st March 2015, at Horsham parkrun, after completing 8 weeks of the NHS Couch to 5k plan. Since then, I've made some good friends, found a fiancée (we ignored each other at Kingston parkrun on NYD 2016), got fitter, lost weight and at times, I still enjoy running.
Current parkrun goals:
- Get to 250 parkruns. Now stranded on 257.
- More tourism, next goal is 100 different venues.
- 100 parkruns at Bushy parkrun - 58 so far
- 50 parkruns completed at my home run Bedfont Lakes - 53 so far
- Lon-DONE adventures - 40 London parkruns done.
parkrun achievements:
- 50 Club member - achieved at Bedfont Lakes 16/04/2016, just over a year from my first event.
- 100 Club member - Achieved at Bedfont Lakes 01/04/2017, just over two years from my first event.
- 250 Club member - Achieved on the 25/01/2020 at Bedfont Lakes. Four years and ten months after my first parkrun.
- Cow Cowl member - 82 different venues so far
- Volunteering at parkrun and junior parkrun venues, Bushy juniors, Laleham juniors, Chelmsford juniors, Hazelwood & Bedfont Lakes parkrun
- Getting my great neices and nephew running at Chelmsford Central parkrun, Chelmsford juniors and some tourism trips.

Running around a park, it'll never catch on.
Now into my third year of running around a park, I must admit, it is quite addictive.
