00:00Right, I'm with David Law at the Elgin Park Run and this is his 250th today.
00:05How do you feel, David, coming back to Elgin? Because you did your first one here as well,
00:08is that right? That's right. I did my first ever park run here in Christmas 2016 with my sister
00:16and I guess I've just kept on running because today, back in Elgin, I'm doing my 250th park
00:22run and it's lovely to be here. It's a little bit cool today with that wind but
00:27it might be because my park runs are in Australia. What temperatures are your park runs running?
00:33Anything from this temperature up to about 40 degrees on a really bad day.
00:38Right, okay. We don't like it when it's 40 but 22 is really nice.
00:42So how do you feel about achieving 250? That's amazing. Oh, it is. It's just such a good thing.
00:48It keeps you fit and healthy and active and it's just a wonderful community, being in the park
00:53run community. Back at home in Australia, I'm a run director at my local Nambour Park Run
01:01so that I'm hopefully adding and contributing to our park run community and I just think it's a
01:06great thing to do for community, for health and all those good things we get by running.
01:12And did you always want to do your 250th here or when did the idea form in your head?
01:18Well, we planned the holiday ages ago to come and see my sister again for the summer
01:24and obviously tour Scotland, which I love being in Scotland.
01:28And I started looking at the numbers and I thought, oh that's interesting, I might do
01:32250 here. And then I found out that I had to do a park run the day after I arrived,
01:38after the long haul from Australia. So I did Holyrood in Edinburgh so that I could do 250
01:44here today. Brilliant. And how does it feel now you've completed that? Oh, really happy.
01:48Yeah, really happy. Just need to go and find a park run coffee somewhere now.
01:52And are you doing more park runs while you're in Scotland?
01:55I may do Inverness next weekend, just see how that turns out. And there's one more possibility
02:03down in England, south of Manchester, a place called Macclesfield.
02:07Good. And you'll be back in Elgin for your 500th, is that right?
02:11Well, there's a challenge, who knows? If I'm still doing park run there, I'll be very happy.
02:16Excellent, excellent. Well, enjoy the rest of your stay in Scotland, David. Thank you.
02:20Thanks very much. Appreciate it.
