5k-a-day 38/365 – UMRun lunchtime run: four parks

Thursday 7th February 2019

  • Distance:  8.5k
  • Total to date: 256.4k
  • Rolling target: 190k
  • Ahead of target: 66.4k
  • Distance remaining: 1568.6
  • Days remaining: 327

The weather on the way in to work this morning was awful. Cold, strong wind. Pouring rain. Yuk!

Fortunately, by the time I headed out to join the Thursday lunchtime UMRun group things had brightened up considerably to the extent that I didn’t need my jacket (for the second day in a row!).

We ran four parks (Alexandra, Platt Fields, Birchfield, and Whitworth), and it was good to stretch my legs a little more. So far this week I’ve run 5.5, 6.4, 7.2 and 8.5! I’m not sure I’ll have time to get up to 9k tomorrow morning before work!




Help me reach my fundraising target for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
