We didn\u2019t think it would be much fun running round the reservoir in the wind and rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead we headed to Congleton. I\u2019d run here once before but Jo hadn\u2019t done it and needed it to complete her Cheshire Cheese (all the parkruns in Cheshire). It just so happened that Robin had already said he was planning to run here this morning so the three of us were able to meet up for the second week running!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we set off from Liverpool it was pouring down, and it was still raining when we parked up at Astbury Mere. However, the parkrun Weather Fairies were kind to us and the rain cleared up during the first timers\u2019 briefing! I was happy to drop my running jacket back in the car before the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congleton is a nice, flat, fast course &#8211; three laps round Astbury Mere. Having had the go-ahead from the knee specialist to run again, I picked up the pace and got my fastest parkrun time of the year. I really felt my lack of fitness though as I was flagging on the final lap, and just about managed to keep away the cramp in my legs after I\u2019d finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grahamholland\/posts\/pfbid02ifk4gEkpKECNtsuFXcPzqwGhLMiqsNzxYJrkEabTyZJVNnGG4YLUtpB9LdoLipaUl\" data-width=\"552\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\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=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"6185953995\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jo and I had originally planned to do Watergrove parkrun, but on Friday when we looked at the weather for Saturday at 9am we decided to change our plans.
