Running Harrogate parkrun in Freezing Fog! Harrogate parkrun's 10th Birthday

This Saturday we headed over to Harrogate parkrun for event number 453 on The Stray. There was some debate (and heckling during the run brief as to whether it was this week or next week) but it was Harrogate parkrun's 10th birthday. It was lovely to be there to celebrate, having first run Harrogate parkrun at their first ever event 10 years ago, when attending inaugurals was encouraged. Despite having run there several times since then, the fog was so thick that it was disorientating, and we had to ask for help to find the start! It was way below freezing and it was a painful first lap until we warmed up. I am incredibly proud of Poppy for managing to run the 5km in shorts after admitting "I thought it might be 25 degrees today Mummy!". Slightly optimistic for January in Yorkshire but Poppy dealt with the cold really really well. It was a great parkrunday but lacked suitable parkfaffing as we were marshalling a Punk Panther Ultra so needed to get back to North Leeds to set up the aid table for the runners 27.5 miles into their ultra. We finally got home after dark and reflected on what a wonderful, running filled, day it had been. Extra special thanks to Ted and the team at Harrogate parkrun because volunteering in difficult weather is never easy! I hope you are all having brilliant running adventures, Nicola :)
