Parkrun"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d planned on doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkrun.com.de\/padersee\/\">Parkrun in Paderborn<\/a>, but wasn&#8217;t sure if I&#8217;d be up in time after yesterday&#8217;s travel issues.\u00a0 I awoke in plenty of time, and got the bus out to Padersee (which is a small lake on the river Pader (which is the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pader_(river)\">shortest river in Germany apparently<\/a>))<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a quite a small Parkrun; &lt;100 participants.\u00a0 I got chatting to a group of travelling actors from the UK, who were going to be touring round schools in Germany doing plays in English.\u00a0 The organisers of it are originally from the UK.\u00a0 I hadn&#8217;t realised, but there (used to be?) a large British army based near Paderborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The run itself was very pleasant; 2.5 times round the lake, so nice and flat.\u00a0 The weather was cool and dry.\u00a0 I was a couple of seconds quicker than in Krakow last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seemed to be an exceptionally friendly parkrun.\u00a0 I stayed for breakfast at the cafe in the park after, as did a lot of the other runners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
