Saturday Morning Run

Saturday mornings didn't used to exist: they were a time for sleeping in and maybe doing some shopping and getting a nice brunch. The challenge is simple: go for a run on Saturday morning! It can be any distance, terrain or effort level, just so long as it's outside and before noon.

Rachel A Park run has made the challenge a doddle. If you've not heard of them, find your local one. They do timed 5km races most Saturday mornings around the country and the world. Great atmosphere and suitable for all standards. Xx

Knocked over several challenges - including this one - with this morning's run. It was epic on all fronts: sunshine (a rarity), and PBs for 5k AND 10k splits and I just felt great all round :). Still buzzing from it this evening!

Met at 7am on a chilly damp Saturday morning! It was freezing but luckily the rain held off. Definitely earned breakfast - two volcanoes later - bit of a run, clamber, hike, walk and run mix! (We went up Mount Eden then One Tree Hill via the grass track)

It was part of a fundraising event for a friend who is doing the Badwater Ultra - she's the inspiring one! Some of the group did 14 volcanoes - I just did a little bit of it :)

Sue P I kind of feel this is a little bit of a cheat as it's most Saturdays that I meet up with fellow runners at Park Run; but hey, I'll do it anyway :)
