Parkrunners Assemble - the new thread that will remind you to "do not forget barcode" and that "you can walk, jog, run or volunteers"

So I have been a good wife and let me DH run parkrun over the summer as he seems keen and I want him to get fit. Anyway did my 20th different parkrun (and its now my nearest) and offered to pace DH.

So all went well, he struggled as its hilly. On the first downhill I told him he could have picked the pace up a bit. So he listened to me a bit too carefully and I had to chase him downhill. Flipping makes me cross he is a natural runner and I need to work at it.

Anyway 20 different parkruns complete and we were thinking of running one near his mum's we haven't run before.

Mischief managed!

Buggy PB for me today

I volunteered for the first time and loved it! Was great fun and so interesting to see what goes into making each run work. I ran there and back just to get some miles in. I have a 10k coming up and am starting to feel nervous!

Second one down! DD didn't fancy it today, so managed to go a bit quicker. Went out a bit fast though and needed to walk towards the end. Just waiting for email rime through now...

Ally Pally

Tough course, friendly bunch, great views!

Hi, I did my first park run yesterday. Was pleased to get just under 32. I'm mid 40s and did just over 32 10 years ago so it gave me hope. More than my personal achievement I found the atmosphere and camaraderie really uplifting on a cold, damp September morning. What a fantastic bunch of people. Will definitely go again, really want to run it in 30 but happy just to get out and start my weekend with a boost like that.

Well done eatsleepriderepeat

I touristed at a very hilly parkrun today - photo says it all

Better run this week, Grovelands this time and ran just over 33 minutes with DS in the buggy. #46 in the bag so just the 4 left to 50 :)

Can I join? I did my first ever parkrun today, as well as my first ever 5k. Haven't ever done more than about 2.5k before, and that was at least 3.5 years ago...
Took DD (6) with me for moral support, and with a couple of stops for stones in shoes we did it in 38.03. I'm fairly pleased with the time, and we managed to run the whole thing ( albeit slowly!).
Legs sore now, but looking forwards to next week

Home run for me this week. Really enjoyed it and got a PB. No running at parkrun for me for a couple of weeks now as I have to work this weekend, then next week I'm volunteering. Am training for my first 10k at the minute so need to make sure I fit in runs elsewhere!

Was at Ally Pally last week. Seemed like a lovely group there but the course is seriously not buggy friendly, particularly after heavy rain the day before. 40 minutes is a lifetime PW for 5k.

Bit of a drive for me, but it was the nearest letter N at Navan

2 to go to complete the project - anyone at AllyPally next week?

I ran my home parkrun today, tried to go for a quick time but blew up on the second lap, still ok though but felt like a huge effort

Hope others had better runs today.

Oh no standing! My usual run was cancelled so visited the in laws and did Northampton. had been keen to do it again anyway as haven't ran it in a good few weeks and wanted to see what I could do it in now (I'm always faster in Northampton!) Best parkrun time to date by over a minute and a half so I was chuffed!

Gutted standing - I ran there a few weeks back, was a lovely one lap course.

VI guide at Carrickfergus so I could recapture my needed C. Really good fun, though I'm sure I slowed my partner down!

Congratulations MyBlackCat , that's quite a milestone. I did my second today and knocked 2mins off my previous time so i'm very happy

parkrun 100 completed today - I tail walked so I could milk it for as long as possible

Hope everyone enjoyed their runs.

Did Bromley on Saturday in just over 35 minutes with the buggy. 16 weeks now so very much running for three! Lovely park but the grass sections are hard work with the buggy.

I was a tourist and did Lancaster. It was a great course with lovely views but gosh did I find it hard! Wasn't bothered about the time, just another run to add to the list 👍

I flew half way round the world-ireland to San Fran. I saw the eclipse and rode the California Zephyr train. I'd been planning to do crissy field parkrun, and had been building it into my spelling out DANCER.

But a right wing rally was given permission to meet at the site today, and many many counter demos were planned. So the organisers-quite rightly-had to cancel it, the first time in their history.

Darn it, trump, you've gone too far this time, messing with a woman's parkrun tourism!

I completed my 99th parkrun today and finished in 99th position for some perfect symmetry

It was also my 20th different course so I can now get the cow cowl

How did everyone else's runs go?

I've been rubbish and dropped off here!

Did anyone have an exciting team GB athlete at their parkrun Saturday?
I didn't parkrun this week but I was rd the week before and EVERYTHING went wrong!! All relatively easily sorted thankfully!
