On a very cold and frosty morning of storm warnings and parkrun cancellations we were very lucky that Laura got to join for her first mission, first time at Southampton parkrun as a tailwalker and be my bring a friend for the January Challenge. It was also my first time doing the new route. It was a bit of a slippery route with ice on the ground so we were glad to be taking it steady. The main icy patches had been hammered by the course checker! We crossed the line with over 1300 other runners and volunteers ahead of us. A morning well spent!
