Seven Years of Running Every Single Day! A Celebratory Run at Buxton's Pavilion Gardens parkrun

[@mattgarner2414]

Incredible proximity of those houses to the parkrun start/course 😍

[@NicolaRuns]

I know right?! They're literally THERE! I think the new start will work loads better 😃

[@barnabynorman157]

That park looks wonderful and I added it to my list. Those buildings, incredible! You don't buy a house like that on the edge of a park and expect it to be quiet! Thanks for sharing.

[@NicolaRuns]

Buxton is such an incredible place to visit anyway... Having a parkrun there is the dream! 🥰

[@richsullivan1950]

Well done Nicola - 7 years is quite the streak - great achievement. "That makes me want to pretend to be a troll" was a highlight - an impulse we can all agree on

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks... I might do it next time 😜🤣

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Oh those houses by the park ❤️❤️❤️

[@NicolaRuns]

They're lovely aren't they! 😍

7 years 😱 welldone ❤

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks 🤗

[@davidthompson136]

Great video, as ever. We were fortunate to do this course just before Christmas. It’s a fantastic run. It is “wiggly” although nothing compared to Chadderton Hall 😮 😂. Congratulations on your 7 years. An incredible achievement.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks David 🤗 These wiggly parkruns are so fun aren't they?! Even if they're not PB courses. It makes me feel like a kid 😃

[@emmarunyeard6832]

I amin Wales atm and in a local community area there is a bench in a beautiful cosy corner with a plaque on saying 'cwtch corner' just gorgeous xx

[@NicolaRuns]

That's so lovely 🥰

[@Runningonthemind]

Wow - 7 years is incredible 🫡👏👏

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks so much, it started with a week, then a month, now here we are! 🙃

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Oooh dance valley way sounds like a thing I could get on board with x

[@NicolaRuns]

Me too! 🙃

I visited Pavillion Gardens in Buxton in 2010 when I had a week’s holiday in Derbyshire around the time of my 40th birthday. It looks a lovely course. I’ll put it on the to do list but Lyme Park & Trentham Gardens are the ones nearby that are top of my list to do next year.

[@NicolaRuns]

Trentham Gardens is on my list too! 😃

[@mattmiller8139]

Trentham Gardens is stunning. You will love it. I checked it out a couple of years ago when I visited the potteries. I will try & tie it in with my annual trip to see at Test Match at Edgbaston. I’m really keen to see the monkeys at Trentham Gardens next time 🙂

[@andyhellawell8473]

Congrats on your amazing achievement, and thanks for another great review. Perfect choice for a special run. This was my 3rd ever parkrun back in January, and despite the ice (and geese!) I just loved it - great atmosphere, beautiful setting, amazing volunteers - where the parkrun bug properly bit me. Thanks too for the info on the new configuration - must return in warmer weather.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks 😊 Oh wow, you were lucky to run somewhere so cool so early on your parkrun journey! Not surprised you got the bug after this! 😍

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

the half marathon had a change to the finish aswell that use to run past these houses next to the park but now it goes though the park and finishes from the other direction o and this park run is on my list

[@NicolaRuns]

That's interesting to know, maybe the same reasoning 🙃

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns 1st June going to try walk /jog marathon distance from Droyslden near Tesco to Huddersfield on the canal failed on sunday got half way up om standage and was so tried out lucky i could get a bus back from there o and just entered Marsden 10 mile trail race on 9th June put on my Colne Valley lions AC

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns when i have done the half i will i will let you know the way it goes though the park to the finish and park run is on my list for maybe June or July

[@NicolaRuns]

@@MichaelTinker-dt1rp you race a lot, do you have much rest?

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns o yes sometimes

[@runningoneddie]

What a cool park, Nicola. Thanks for taking me along. I think our trees and flowers are about a week ahead of yours. We are starting to get into really bright green on everything though now as we approach summer (I am in the US mountain west area). I did get to do a 5K near a working apple orchard a few weeks ago (in the rain no less). Congrats on your 7 year streak. I've done a few streaks -- usually 60 or 90 days, but nothing on the level you are doing. I definitely need my 100% rest days from time to time. Looking forward to the next installment of your running adventures.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Eddie 😊 we're definitely approaching summer... We just went away for 3 days and I came back to a jungle in the back garden the grass has grown so much! 🙈🤣 Thanks re. the run streak, I didn't set out to do it... It just sort of happened. I look forward to seeing what will stop it! That will definitely be an interesting day 🙃

[@jones1068]

I walked through that park on Saturday.

[@NicolaRuns]

Do you live locally? It's such a lovely place 😍

[@jones1068]

​@@NicolaRunsYes i do.

[@NicolaRuns]

@@jones1068 you're so lucky! What a gorgeous part of the world! 😃

[@davidirwin9017]

Oh no! That’s another one to add to the list….

[@NicolaRuns]

Get it on there 😜
