I was so excited!<\/p>\n<p>After clearing it with a Hubby I set off to Chadderton Hall parkrun the next morning. I ran down the road and soon found the park. I found some volunteers and followed them on their way back to the start.<\/p>\n<p>As people started to arrive I realised that this wasn\u2019t going to be as busy as what I\u2019m used to. There must have been 56 runners at most. I\u2019m used to between 200-700 depending on which parkrun I go to.<\/p>\n<p>The new runners\u2019 briefing advised that this is not a fast course and you can add at least 2 mins to your usual 5k time due to the tight turns. It was a 4 lap course and at one point it runs round a rose garden.<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful setting though.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3321\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.celfserver.co.uk\/irunwales\/web\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-5-1024x768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-5-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-5-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-5-1024x768-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3324\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.celfserver.co.uk\/irunwales\/web\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-4-1024x768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-4-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-4-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-4-1024x768-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3326\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.celfserver.co.uk\/irunwales\/web\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-3-1024x768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-3-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-3-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-3-1024x768-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3328\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.celfserver.co.uk\/irunwales\/web\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-2-Copy-1024x768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-2-Copy-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-2-Copy-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-2-Copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-2-Copy-1024x768-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3330\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.celfserver.co.uk\/irunwales\/web\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-1-1024x768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-1-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-1-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/parkrun-nicola-1-1024x768-48x36.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I finished 45th.
