I&#8217;d planned on doing Millom on New Year&#8217;s Day as the second in the Double with Barrow but they couldn&#8217;t get the volunteers so I decided to drive the 2 hours and 10 minutes there for my Twixtmas parkrun instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millom parkrun is five laps round the outside of a school playing field, all on grass. It has a reputation for being one of the toughest routes and I can see why! The soft ground and the mud makes it really hard to pick up any speed or momentum, and it really saps the strength from your legs. Expect to add at least three minutes onto your normal parkrun time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards there is a hosepipe available to clean off your legs and shoes before entering the cafe. Most people still leave their shoes outside (I changed into a fresh pair), and the cafe seats still have covers on them to protect them from the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cafe is run by volunteers from the running club, and everything is \u00a31 each &#8211; tea, coffee, cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 362\/365 running 5k-a-day in 2019 for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlzResearchUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AlzResearchUK<\/a> &#8211; parkrun #102 Millom for Twixtmas <br><br>Donate at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VlrikvzK6f\">https:\/\/t.co\/VlrikvzK6f<\/a><br><br>See my route on Strava <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/poG3rCB0iF\">https:\/\/t.co\/poG3rCB0iF<\/a><br><br>Follow my progress<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t00tpUQrh1\">https:\/\/t.co\/t00tpUQrh1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/R3OaU1BFff\">pic.twitter.com\/R3OaU1BFff<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Graham Holland \u5c0f\u5149\u982d \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddfc (@itsafrogslife) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsafrogslife\/status\/1210887344087339008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2961830157\/embed\/b86da6cb083b5ff49936849258f345bb920da218'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<a style=\"display:inline-block;background-color:#FC4C02;color:#fff;padding:5px 10px 5px 30px;font-size:11px;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;white-space:nowrap;text-decoration:none;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:10px center;border-radius:3px;background-image:url('http:\/\/badges.strava.com\/logo-strava-echelon.png')\" href=\"http:\/\/strava.com\/athletes\/9681964\/badge\" target=\"_clean\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n  Follow me on\n  <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/badges.strava.com\/logo-strava.png?resize=51%2C13\" alt=\"Strava\" style=\"margin-left:2px;vertical-align:text-bottom\" height=\"13\" width=\"51\">\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/grahamruns5kaday\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/justgiving-donate.png?resize=370%2C156&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/justgiving-donate.png?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/itsafrogslife.net\/grahamruns\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/justgiving-donate.png?resize=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Help me reach my fundraising target for Alzheimer&#8217;s Research UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>parkrunday 28th December 2019 parkrun #102 &#8211; Millom (#1) Different event #57 Time: 27:35 5k-a-day #362 Distance: 5k Total to date: 2430.6k Rolling target: 1810k Ahead of target: 62.=0.6k Days remaining: 3 With Richard being away I had a bit more freedom to travel a little further than normal.
