Aylesbury ParkSplash

The return of Aylesbury ParkRun on Saturday morning turned out to be a cold affair. The event had not taken place since December due to flooding, but we had the promise of a new course, there and back twice. The warning of one large puddle turned out to be a long deep pond over the footpath. And we had a steep hill to negotiate.

The problem was that not only was the water freezing, but we had to go through it four times. As you can see, it was well over the ankles. The only slight compensation was that it was a beautiful morning despite being cold at 9am. When we got back to the car, we had to wring out are socks. Our running shoes have still not dried out.
