Such a beautiful morning for #parkrun. It was a little icy, so I really slowed the pace and opted for volunteering.😅 There's always a place for everyone @parkrunUK

Today, it was very cold but this 70 year old ran 6.17(9.9km) miles in 58m.46s.
Why am I posting this? Just hoping to motivate others to get active and to stay active. I know the motivation I get from others is invaluable so, let's go!

Not the start, but the end of my 123rd #parkrun!
Also not my fastest at 00:26:30, but 1st VW70-74, 2nd in Age-graded table of 581 runners and 37th female!
More importantly, I got out of bed and I did it!
