parkrunners (AOWALC) Anonymous Keep on Running into Spring

[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

New thread for parkrunners old and new.

We are a long-running thread, but very friendly - please come and say hello, and chat about PBs, tourism, progress towards tee-shirts and anyything else about parkrun

And meet baby greyhound ?

I don't think it's closed but don't hold me to that!

Yes baby greyhound will be in the sling at the mid point water station with dh and I and probably doing other jobs at the start. At the moment mini greyhounds will be staying with their nannie.

So I need to either get there early or stop halfway round for a cuddle ?

Will be back at finish once all runners have been through so will depend if you can wait around

Glad all ok cinnamon.

Yes, OhOne, I think so too. How very dare my kids find things they want to do on Sat mornings Usually we are struggling to detach them from their x boxes!
Short term though, normal service resumed after another 3 weeks.

Feet I hope yesterday went ok.

I went to SA and actually enjoyed it. I ran the most even splits ever nowhere near a PB but was properly happy about it. I also took over a kid in front of me at the final sprint. My club mates were cheering on and one was happy as he got beaten by a 13 year old. He is super speedy.

LW parkrun#2 went really well thanks - 114 runners (compared with 197 last week), hordes of marathon-running volunteers, lots of people new to parkrun, our first doggie-runners and nice simple results process. All good

Great news feet

Well done feet.

Watched Paula finish in a very dusty room.

Was very emotional HalleLouja and in not a fan!

Great news feetheart!

We have tonnes of volunteers this week and someone else wanted to rd as he's injured so if I go to parkrun I either just watch or run!

Are you up for a run?
If so then go for it #nostoppingthiswoman :o

You could run/walk cinnamon

One of my little gang of parkrun friends is going her 50th on Saturday

I did from my house a lap and back to my house tonight so dh thinks I can do the lot.

Enjoy the 50 celebrations OhOneOhTwoOhThree!

One of the guys who runs the events near me did his 1000th marathon last summer. No, that's not a mis-type!

I'm working at the MK Marathon this weekend. Anyone running?

1000 Is that even possible?

No MK for me this weekend but there are a few Striders doing it - look out for the red tops. If you get a very smiley bloke who will probably still be chatting as he goes across the line that's Willie, save a hug for him :)

When are you coming on tour over here?

Wondering if the '3rd event is the new inaugural' crowd will turn up tomorrow?

Blardy hell Blathers, what a running machine!

No MK this time for us this year - DH fancied it but didn't get round to signing up, and then got ill so couldn't have done it anyway. Which meant I could do cinnamon's 10K instead

Hope all goes well tomorrow feet, I had a nice chat with Willie at Luton (you introduced us at SA that time).

morning everyone. hope everyone has a nice run today.

me and 8yo ds are off out this morning. weather looks grey but dry. I'm going to bribe him with the promise of a new tom gates book for a good run, I think he could get under 30 if he stops chatting so much while running .

You too meglet.

It is our 200th run today, so it is fancy dress. I have something planned but have no idea if I will be able to run in it, or whether it will be safe to get on my bike in it

1000 marathons!!!! Oh my life that man deserve a medal or a straight jacket.

Managed a parkrun pb this morning so happy happy.

Willie is great. I had a lovely run with him at SA once and saw him scanning tokens at your inaugural feet!

Well done HalleLouja!

I ran my home parkrun and the sun shone managed my fastest parkrun since February, 31:39 so I'm happy. Felt sick walking up there, not good at being centre of attention and knew everyone would be watching. Had a group of regulars all staring as I walked up, and many comments on my figure but everyone was very friendly and I got a big clap over the line. Came back quickly and ds3 was hungry, but just at the slightly whingy stage not screaming

Brilliant cinnamon , and well done Halle on your PB

Wow, just fantastic Cinnamon. Well done you

And well done on your PB Halle

How was the fancy dress Ohone? Did you go for it and, if so, we need photos :)

Lots of fun at LW today - 175 runners, lots of new people, some tourists and a buggy runner who had to carry the baby up the final hill whilst pushing the buggy - that is hardcore parkrunning :o

Yes feet, I went in dressing gown and pyjamas lots of jokes about not having time to get dressed, although I did have running gear on underneath
The best bit was running wirh my friend who was doing her 50th and encouraging her to a PB just had a lovely text from her
Photos will appear at some point

Hello everyone!

Just need to check I'm not seeing things.
Cinnamon you've been running already?!
Blathers 1000 marathons? That man needs...well I don't even know what. Help.

After having been in a very lazy and slightly boozy and (sssshhhh) kind of smokey honeymoon I did a very damp Lanhydrock parkrun in 29mins this morning. Was quite pleased to be able to run the whole way

I hope you're all well. I've got a 10 mile race at Lanhydrock in 6 weeks, which seemed easy at the time of signing up but about which I am more anxious now.
