Park Run at Gunnersbury Park of London

Paul, Xin Yi and Wan at Gunnersbury Park before the run

After running the park run at St Peter, Sydney this is our second time running a park run, As the run at St Peter was not tagged so this is actually our first official park run. We reached Gunnersbury Park which is a big park with a very big field and long jogging track early as we have free transport from Paul who has run 10 park-runs so far.There are about 3 hundreds plus runners and most of them are quite good runners. So this is our second run in London after London Vitality 10000 but a first for Xin Yi who missed the London Vitality 10000 due to fever. As usual we were the slower ones and finished our 5 km run in 33 minutes. Paul did not wait for us and ran with his own pace as he wanted to maintain his time of sub 25 minutes. When we reached the finishing line we were each given a chip which was later scanned together with our park run membership bar code. This will enable our time to be tagged and compared with other runners.
