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!

Love the support I get from MN.

Well done everyone who ran this morning!

Thanks cinnamon I did struggle to finish in that time. My friend was winding me up telling me I was on 30 min pace so I focussed and managed to get a pb.

night sounds like you are very much back in the game

I was nowhere near a PB today, but a minute or so faster than last time. Just goes to show how running with someone else can help you push yourself - I would have just pootled along on my own without my buddy.

Good to see you back on the thread Lollipop and well done to mini-Blathers x 2

Halle at your friend fibbing

Well done everyone who ran, I went with my DSis and it was a lovely run along the beach! Thanks for the heads up about the wood chips, there was no sprint finish for us.

Glad you enjoyed it kimmi . We had the wind at our backs going out, but in our faces coming back along the cliff tops and it was hard!

Anyone for Sheringham next week, or know anything about it?

PS I was talking to a lady at my parkrun on Saturday, who told me her B-I-L was one of the original Bushy crew, that he is coming up to his 250th run, and that he is spending this year doing tourism and is on his 96th different venue. There's a target for you Blathers

Who are the Bushy crew? -Am a newby--

Halle - they were the first parkrunners - see here for the history lesson

Thanks for the history lesson. There was one on Wiki too.

I'm of Bushy - they have deer! All we have are geese and pigeons :(

I ACHE today, particularly my abs, strangely.

There are no deer at MK but we do have Common Tern, Tufted Duck, Ringed and Little Ringed Plover, Common Redshank, Northern Lapwing and Canada Geese as the North Lake is a wild life reserve. There are a huge number of swans too.

The South lake is home to lesser spotted Wakeboarders mainly plus a few Dragon boat s

We have lots of wildlife too, there are deer but you will have to spot them and where I am in the field they've probably been frightened off by the speedier runners.

My friend has done sheringham twice OhOneOhTwoOhThree, apparently it's NT so free parking on Saturday mornings, one lap with a killer hill that she can't run up! It's probably too far for me

Anyone know anything about Chichester? We are camping in East Wittering from Thursday and DS and I have told the others we are doing parkrun on Saturday :)

We have people on benches drinking tennants super... :)

So do we lego. There has also been a flasher in the park, but he has been staying away on Saturday mornings. The best is the lady who hates parkrun and has complained to the council. She insists on walking her dog in the opposite direction to the way we run and swears loudly all the way round.

We have loads of dogs off leads who are amazingly well behaved and ignore all the runners. Scunthorpe people must have the best trained dogs in the country!

Shouting "I am a member of the pubic" isn't it OhOne? :)

I really wanted to shout back "Great, so am I" but thought better than antagonising her

Hahahahah OhOne and Blathers. You are very restrained not winding her up, what a plonker she sounds

We have cows at our parkrun, in the summer at least. And with the cows come the attending slip risks. Lucky I'm a farmers daughter, so it doesn't phase me!

I'd definitely reply so am I!!!

We have a man who if often walking in he opposite direction near the start. I meet him when I walk the dogs before and he always says hello and we sometimes walk together for a bit. During parkrun I always say hello too but he never responds!

A member of the WHAT Blathers ?

We are briefed every week by our RD to ignore her

What a mis-type!

She picked on friends of mine when we came over once. She is an utter loony.

Very beautirful course at st andrews

Yes I remember Blathers you haven't been back since have you!

No, but not because of her. I've just been busy being everywhere else

This made me
