Running Pendle parkrun in the fog & mist! Christmas parkrun. Over the Pennines to run in Lancashire!

😂 at the out and back!

[@NicolaRuns]

Urgh... Silly me! 🤣

[@richsullivan1950]

Looked a cold and misty one Nicola. Getting lost presumably outweighed by live reindeers. RIP Garmin ☹

[@NicolaRuns]

Getting lost isn't so bad, I'm only ever frustrated by it when I'm going for a time, if I'm filming then it doesn't really matter 🤗 and the reindeer?! 🦌🦌 What a massive Christmas bonus! 😍 Poor old Garmin though, it had a good life though 😜🤣

[@danoutdoors1586]

That was a great video and very good quality, i love seeing you doing our local parkrun! My dad is Paul Brown the parkrun orginiser. He would of quite enjoyed having a chat afterwards but had rush off to get my sister to swimming! Thank you and all the best.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks 😃 I was sad to miss a chat with your dad as I think he'd run the same marathon as me 6 days before this (Bingley Baubles) 🙃 Pleased you enjoyed the video... I promise if I come back I'll concentrate harder on going the right way 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@andylamb5685]

I thought that tail runner was supposed to be an athlete 😂 😂 😂 well done on your Pendle Parkrun….come and visit us at Burnley Parkrun in the wonderful Towneley Park next time you fancy some more Parkrun Tourism

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Andy, I might just do that 😃 didn't get the tail runner comment? 🤔 What am I missing? 🙃

[@emma-janemacdonald4330]

what a fantastic vlog. Thank you - its my local one, i may even be tempted to participate! Everyone looks so friendly and no pressure to actually run all the way round.!

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you ❤️ Honestly there's no pressure at all. My friend Lucy has just completed couch to 5k but then hadn't run for a few weeks so just got chatting to the tail walker when we arrived. They chatted all the way round and had a lovely time jogging and walking 🤗 super friendly team, just let them know it's your first one when you go along and I'm sure they'll look after you well 😃 shame about the café ATM because normally there would be more lovely chatting afterwards but silly covid has meant that the rugby club can't be used ATM it definitely still a great event! Just try to concentrate a bit more on the route than I did 🤦‍♀️🤣 or look at the course map before you go. Lesson learned for me 🙃😂 all parkruns welcome walkers up to Olympic runners! Now you've seen the proof 🥰 let me know if you go along, you won't regret it! ☺️🏃‍♀️

[@barnabynorman157]

Good luck to anyone attempting a freedome based on your strava trace... :p Funny though! Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you 🤗 I mean... Yes... Please don't do that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it would not go well 🤦‍♀️😂

[@katiepillar]

I always fear getting lost! Well done for taking all that with good grace and a smile (or at least seeming to, which is pretty much the same thing).

[@NicolaRuns]

Ahhh well Katie... It's not my first time getting lost. I have previous 🤣🤣🤣 I always laugh although it happened once when I was pregnant and I just burst into tears but I may have been a LITTLE bit emotional 🙃🤣😜

[@pennysimpson2777]

Lovely video. That’s a tricky course, with a lot to set up and a lot of marshals! Makes me grateful for my very simple home parkrun. Looks like lots of fun to run though. Merry Christmas (a bit late)!

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Penny, it's one of those courses that you need to run once to understand I think. I'd get it right next time 😃 I think... 😜🤣 Great fun to run though you're right! 🏃‍♀️ Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas too 🎄☃️

[@darrenprice9765]

That arrow does tilt to the left though...

[@NicolaRuns]

Lol... I didn't see the arrow so I can't blame the poor little thing 🤗🤣

[@avinashbhogun]

Your festive jumper

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay thanks 🥰

[@shanedean8762]

Welldone you all, love the festive clothes.,a pleasure to watch.Wishing you a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Never change ,your pure sunshine ,stay safe and take care 🙂

What a lovely comment Shane! Thank you. Wishing you the best Christmas and New Year too 🤗⛄🎄

Welcome back to the light (tech-free) side! Reindeer are better than people...

[@NicolaRuns]

Took me ages to think where the reindeer quote was from but got there in the end... Poppy would have got it quicker than me! 🙃

[@AllenMulliss]

Wishing you a very happy Christmas, love the jumpers. Well done arriving early despite the fog. My worst nightmare, getting parkrun lost (especially as there aren't many runners around me at the moment whilst I recover). There are some courses that just aren't easy to follow no matter how much you study the course map. Hope you manage to revive your Garmin.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Allen, I love a Christmas jumper! Yes that was exactly the problem as there weren't any runners around to follow! 🤦‍♀️🤣 Never mind, it's happened to me a few times and I always get back on track 😃 the Garmin came back from the dead but I'm going to arrange to send it to Garmin to be reconditioned because I can't be having an unreliable Garmin! 😱

[@NicolaRuns]

And of course wishing you a very merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🤗

[@bren70ssss94]

Hope your watch came back to life ⌚

[@NicolaRuns]

It did! Thanks 😃

[@davidthompson136]

I did this one earlier and I also managed to get lost in the park (took a wrong turn at the bandstand) 😂

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay!!! 🎉 Pleased it's not just me 😜🤣🤣🤣 how long before you realised? 🤔

Lol exactly that! 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

@@NicolaRuns Occasionally I have a dream where I run the wrong way or take a wrong turn in Parkrun, so just lived through that watching this 😂

@@reelrun if you've never actually done it then you're doing better than me!!! I can think of several occasions where I've gone wrong 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@reelrun]

@@NicolaRuns I've got lost a few times when on a run, but thankfully never Parkrun yet. Pendle did look a bit more challenging directionally speaking though!
