@steevc just finished a 5.01km run, that lasted for 27 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 384.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It was a lovely morning to be out, but I left home a little later than planned and so had to jog most of the way to parkrun at Henlow Bridge Lakes. This is the fourth anniversary for this event. I went to the second one and have now run or walked it 101 times plus lots of marshalling.
Some people were in fancy dress for the anniversary and we were promised cake at the finish. I just went with what I could manage today. Plenty of people overtook me, including my friend Jeff who has been a little slower than me lately. He was having a better day.
The course was totally dry and even dusty in places. You just have to look out for tree roots. I managed a little sprint at the end, but could not catch Jeff. I was a bit slower than some recent runs, but then I had done as much as I could. I just about finished in the top third.
The cake was a bit messy, but nice.
Run free and enjoy your weekend.

Nothing beats cake after a run 🏃
I always say that I run so I can eat cake. parkrun is very social and makes a lot of people happy.

Was it a dirt path?
I like those.
It is a mix of dirt and grass, but not too rough. It will get muddy over the winter.
Yuck, muddy doesn’t sound fun if it ruins your shoes.
Some people seem to enjoy mud. Weirdos.
After shoes get drenched it’s difficult to dry out… timing is crucial. Otherwise I think they get stanky!
What cake was is? Chocolate?
No, just a sponge with lots of icing and a jam filling.
Congratulations on hitting 101 runs! Here's to even more exciting adventures ahead ;)
