Pollok Parkrun

Myself and Chris ventured over to Pollok Park for my second park run this month. It was an ideal running day dry sunny and mild (although too hot for a menopausal woman).

After my DISASTROUS 10K last week I needed to get some of my confidence back and was hoping to get a sub 24min 5k. Chris decided that we should run together and that was the plan until the gun went off. I stayed behind Chris for about a kilometre then over took him and was leading the whole way. Chris remained around 20 metres behind until the final descent then I knew I was going to get caught. Chris ran with me and pushed me the final wee bit (he could have run on) and we finished together in a time of 24mins THANKS DARLING!

The winner was Max Lancaster of Giffnock North in a time of 17.20.

First female was Susanne McMahon Belahouston Harriers in a time of 20.32.

I was 126th (9th female) and Chris 127th out of a field of 335 runners.
