Right, lets find all the park runners we have on here. I did my first park run on sat.

I am very impressed with my time of 33.18 :) I am ridiculously pleased with myself.

So park runners, where are you?

Bugger me Blathers! You are a machine!

No run for me today - had to go to a funeral (my ex's father).

But I did pass Victoria Park en route, and saw some runners underway (is that one a 9 am start?) I waved in case Mollycuddles was running.

Blatherskite · 07/09/2013 17:26

Or an idiot!

I was joking yesterday that even though I am really tired after a week of doing lots of driving, I'd got a weekend of running coming up and maybe that wasn't the best idea. I did the 5k and extra mile this morning and have a 2 hour (prob 11 mile) run tomorrow! I sleep well at least Wink

did first parkrun today, waiting for result now, I know I was lapped by lots of people but never mind. Smile

Evening all. Well no sign of text message or results yet. Has anyone noticed how late they are these days. I used to get them before lunchtime but maybe it's to do with the number in each parkrun as the one I took part in a few weeks ago only had about 50 people and had my result by 11am.

I think my time was about 30:13 according to trusty garmin. Having only run once in the last week, am surprised at that. Well done to everyone else who dragged themselves out of bed for it.

Iggity · 07/09/2013 18:59

muddyprints - well done on your first one.

IsThatTrue · 07/09/2013 19:01

blathers not sure I could do 10k in the evening after a parkrun! Although I do push hard at a parkrun so maybe if I held back a bit?!

melanie I hope the funeral went well.

Still no results gaaaaah!!!!

Lizzylou · 07/09/2013 19:03

m0Mine is normally in by 5pm, and not a big one, c100-150 each week. Nowt yet!

Lizzylou · 07/09/2013 19:04

Muddy, well done on your first one!

thenightsky · 07/09/2013 19:09

No results here yet. I'm desperate to know as I felt I did well.

IsThatTrue · 07/09/2013 19:12

Just got my text 30:14. Next week it will be sub-30 even if I have to tie myself to someone faster!

IsThatTrue · 07/09/2013 19:56

Well done iggity

No text or email :(

Well done Ig!!!

Didn't know there was a text option.

Still waiting on email.

Blatherskite · 07/09/2013 20:24

I think the increase in parkruns as well as people attending them is slowing down the results. I usually get my results around lunchtime but haven't had anything yet.

thenightsky · 07/09/2013 20:27

I reckon you could be onto something Blatherskite. Each week sees another 20 added to our crowd.

Goldendandelion · 07/09/2013 20:28

Just got my results. 10 seconds slower than last week Sad
A lot less people this week though.

BellsaRinging · 07/09/2013 20:30

No email here yet either and ds is desperate to know as he ran really well and wants a pb. It's getting harder to keep up with him tbh!

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 07/09/2013 20:32

Just got mine. No PB, but still sub-30

CountryMama · 07/09/2013 20:32

Waiting for my result is driving me crazy. I must have checked 100 times!!

Blatherskite · 07/09/2013 20:33

I have a few friends who are parkrun run directors so I get to hear the wingeing from the other side too :)

IsThatTrue · 07/09/2013 20:53

PB 29.21 so even 15 seconds off my flat 5k time :)

Well done everyone for your efforts! Even if no pbs, you still got up and did it! Feel proud!

IsThatTrue · 07/09/2013 21:53
