[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

New thread for park runners old and new. Who's running at home and away this weekend? Who's volunteering?

Two seconds slower than my PB

Nooooooooooooooooooo

Valley parkrun

Oh Thursday, well done on getting so close, but it's gutting to miss it by such a small amount!

Ohone - we were talking about those boys today.
DS's 10 t-shirt ordered (yay - added by mini-feet who is looking over my shoulder and adding comments!) Onwards to 50 now :)

AND...we have a verbal OK for a Luton parkrun :o :o :o:o:o :):):):) (mini-feet let loose on the emoticons )

So near ThursdayLast!!!

Yay feetheart!

29:50 for me today with little dog and then dash off to birthday party. Dh actually had my boys dressed and fed by 9.45 and said he'd had a hectic morning

So close Thursday, most frustrating.

Melanie - looking at NI parkrun for Easter I think. Won't get home before then. May have to hire a car though as the parents live MILES from anywhere and there is no way they will drive us that early on a Saturday. Think Comber is the closest but if we have a car I am up for recommendations :)

Cinnamon - methinks it's time he did a school run :o

Even the RD mentioned it in an email!
I'm consoling myself by getting DP to buy me a fancy pants wristband for xmas

So annoying thursday

It was a last minute decision, but we all went in the end. DH got a sub 25 PB so he was happy, and I got 33.32 with the mini kimmi!!

Going to miss parkrun this week as I have a race.

What are all your home parkruns doing for festive parkruns?

I'm not sure if Lanhydrock is doing anything - but I'm going to be volunteering on the 20ty Dec, so I shall be dressing up,maven if I'm on my own!

I am volunteering this week

Not sure yet although St Albans are doing a joint one with Panshanger on New Years Day. We want to do them both (9am and 10.30am starts) but it depends when we get to bed I think :)

Need to pinch any good ideas for next year :o

I managed Huntingdon last year on NYD. They do a double with Peterborough, but I didn't want to disappear for the whole morning on my own. I might do this year though

Not sure if you have seen this list Ohone. It doesn't actually show who is doubling up with who though I know Aylesbury and Tring are and Panshanger and St Albans.
Anyone know of any others?

Need to check if the cafe at St Albans will be open as that will be a big lure if it is :)

Gatecrash...

Great Notley and Chelmsford Central are doing the double on NYD. Notley first at 9am.

Thank you feet

Hello Mayvis - do stick around

I have in my hand the letter giving us permission to have parkrun in Luton

I am VERY happy

Oh hello I haven't seen this thread before. I will be running Riddlesdown for the 6th time tomorrow. What's the protocol for running/volunteering (if there is one)? Think I must be due to sit the next one out in a high vis vest.

Hello littleomar - there should be a bit on your parkrun's website about volunteering or just accost someone in a high viz jacket tomorrow and ask. They will be delighted and you get to shout encouraging things at people for an hour on a Saturday morning :o

Ooh OhOne, we're going to do the Peterborough/Huntingdon double this year I think :)

littleomar we usually mention it in pre run briefing and out scanner has a clipboard to write future volunteers down. You can also email the team or post on our fb page, so all worth a try! We love runners who volunteer :)

Am tapering this week as got a race tomorrow. Was going to volunteer but have school Xmas fete to volunteer at today.

Plus did some marshalling at monthly run club handicap race.

Happy Parkrun day.

Feet do you fancy a Panshanger and SA NY day double? Am up for it

Wow Feet! You work fast.

An exercise in simply getting around the course today - he last run I did was last weeks parkrun!
28 something on a fine cold misty morning
