2017 - 31.04 (35 runs)
2018 - 31.52 (46 runs)
2019 - 30.33 (44 runs)
2020 - 31.40 (64 runs) - (8 actual parkruns, a lot of not parkruns)
2021 - 30.59 (16 runs) - (only included actual parkruns which started up half way through the year due to covid)
2022 - 33.21 (35 runs) - 2 tailwalks not included
2023 - 34:48 (36 runs) - 1 tailwalk and 1 park walk not included
2024 - 36.24 (41 runs) 1 tailwalk not included - Also Pollok Christmas day parkrun time adjusted as finished in 36.03 but parkrun time was 39 minutes as due to 900+ people running, it took 3 minutes to cross the line.
So my slowest year to date but I did expect it. The usual not going out during the week, hampering any chance of improving my times. But I still love getting out on Saturday morning regardless. I'm also pleased to record my 3rd highest number of parkruns ever in a year and most since 2019. I think that shows my health and maybe the weather has been better this year. Fastest time this year was 32:00 minutes at Erskine, which was only 18 seconds slower than my fastest time last year. No sub 30 this year but I'll keep trying, it's nice to have that carrot dangling in front of me.
Challenges
One of the challenges I contributed to at all this year was the Albateer challenge (completing all the Scottish parkruns). 2 new parkruns started this year - Skinadin in Skye and Crinan Canel. Skinadin I did complete and it was a great trip. Crinan is still on the list to do for next year. The other challenge I upped was the P index - Doing x number of events, x number of times. This year I moved up to 8, thanks to a trip to Drumchapel. Other than that I've just been enjoying going on road trip to various parkruns with Douglas, Jo, Craig, Mhairi, Susan and the folks. Along with hanging with folk when I get to parkruns including doing volunteering at Rouken glen on a Sunday.
So overall a decent year and looking forward to next year already.
