GC Park Run

This week Phoebe Antonieff Mitchell and I headed down to the Gold Coast to do park run and give mags an off lead run on the beach and of course a swim in the ocean. 

As we lined up and started, mags seemed more animated and enthusiastic to gallop off. I was in for the long haul. My current objective is to get back to being able to run the whole 5k's. So we began dodging and weaving and me hauling mags back. 

Main Beach park run has a lovely course through shaded area with gravel path a few mild hills which give wonderful recovery on the down hill. 

By the half way, mags had stopped pulling which was a welcome relief. At about 3.5k's, I was done. I was hoping mags would need a toilet stop. Unfortunately not too be. Eventually with no way to assign blame, I had change to walk-run mode. 

As I entered the final straight, an over enthusiastic young lady began cheering. She needs an award. Mags and I lifted. Then crashed on the grass. 

After regaining life we cheered Phoebe over the line. 

Main Beach parkrun results for event #728. Your time was 00:38:48.
Congratulations on completing your 71st parkrun and your 8th at Main Beach parkrun today. You finished in 232nd place out of a field of 294 parkrunners.
