THE ERRIS 5K PARK RUN.
SATURDAY 28TH APRIL 2018 – RUN 116.
A great way to begin your weekend- the Erris park run has a great friendly atmosphere with all ages of people taking part set in the very scenic location of Cross Lake Binghamstown Belmullet.
A few first’s for me:
My first ever Park Run.
My first time running on tarmac for well over 16 month’s – I paid the price with a week’s worth of very sore knee and hip joints.
My first time in 16 month’s that I had run over 4k in one go.
My first time since taking up running six years ago that I have run in the presence of other people.
Really surprised at the fitness levels of some of the older men taking part- half of the top ten finishers were over 40!
Special thanks to Billy Carey and Padraig Brogan for making me feel so welcome at the start line!
I finished in 14th position overall with a time of 26:48.
