Parkrunners anonymous keep on running

[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

As the last thread was filling up, here's a nice new one for parkrunners old and new

All parkrunners are welcome here!

Fantastic ThursdayLast!!

I did 31 something with my little 7 year old buddy, my goodness that child can talk!!!!!!

I scanned bar codes today . It was great putting faces to names.

I find it super stressful OhOneOhTwoOhThree, it's my least favourite job!

Official time was 30:54 :)

Woo-hoo - despite feeling lots of hip pain after running yesterday, an evening spent stretching and foam rolling seems to have paid off as I did parkrun pain-free this morning. Really pleased. Nowhere near a PB or anything but I really don't mind about that!

And I've said I'll start volunteering from September (I'm not really around much until then).

No parkrun for me today :( But, it was because I was at a 2nd interview for a job :)

Back under 30 minutes for me today - very happy!

But also happy for a fellow runner, in his 70s, has been parkrunning for ages but always in and around 31 mins. He zoomed passed me today, I couldn't catch him, he stormed a new 28 ish PB! Ossum, as they say.

I had a lovey run at climber park, it was a bit hot though!! 34.48 with my DSis. I did 9 miles the night before so was pleased I could move!!

cinnamon I liked it better than funnel manager except for when people had sweaty barcodes attached to their person and wanted me to scan their shorts . The bright sunshine didn't help, but one of my lovely parkrun friends brought me a cold drink.

Well done melanie and kimmi and pirate. pirate I am interested in hearing more about foam rolling - my left hip/thigh/knee is sore and I suspect IT Band related. My right calf/achilles is also sore but we don't talk about that because it's been the same since last September

Fingers crossed for good news about the job interview Lollipop

DS and I went out on our bikes last night and had a blast. Am hoping to do a Freedom Run later. Have a good week all

We don't have enough runners to have a funnel manager!!

I did Ashton Court parkrun this Saturday - only a 2.5 hour drive from home so we stayed in a B&B the night before .

It was 2.5k uphill and then you turn around and run back down the hill! The only parkrun I've done which was harder was Lanhydrock as that is the other way round and steeper. It was really, really hot which didn't help but at least my hip held out. It was uncomfortable but not sore. Need to keep taking it easy for a little while longer yet but I'm hopeful that I might be on the road to recovery :)

I was called about the job about two hours after the interview. Have to wait til HR call me tomorrow before I can broadcast it on FB etc but MN is so big I can safely reveal - I got the job! Only 12 hours a week, but will fit nicely with college and re-training :)

Lollipop that's BRILLIANT! So pleased for you . Well done!

Thank you :) Was worth missing parkrun for :)

Our parkrun STARTS with an uphill - that's just cruel. Apparently, it's one of the harder ones in the UK.

You know what, I'll post a link to our page on the website, then I won't have to directly name it on-thread :)

my local parkrun

Congratulations lollipop what lovely news :)

Congrats lollipop! Blathers a big [like] for hip improvement.

Congratulations lollipop! Fab news.

Ashton Court starts with an uphill too. 2.5k of it! We hide the hill at MK right in the middle for when you're most knackered

3.5 hour drive up North next weekend for the inaugural Oakwell Hall parkrun. Every now and again I think this tourism malarkey might be getting out of hand you know

Hey OhOne is it your 50th run this weekend?

Anyone know box end park?

Yes it is lego are you coming?

cinnamon I have never been but I have heard of it because it's near me and they do triathlons there. Why?

There is a canicross event there in October, I'm thinking of entering but need to ask dh first

I will come and cheer you on if it is not the same weekend as the Reepham 10K

It's the 26th and apparently you can run without a dog. £15 for 5 or 10k. There's a bikejour as well but they are super crazy!!!!!

OhOne I am hoping too - just need to get into negotiations with DH. It would be nice to have a change of scene :) However, it is DS2 birthday BBQ that day so might not be feasible depending on how organised we are!

Oh Ohone! I'd come and run your 50th with you but I'm doing Oakwell Hall this weekend! Have a fab run.

I did the Votwo Glow in the Park at Box End park. I spent 10k in agony running cross country in the dark with a recently torn calf!
