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

Sounds perfect ThursdayLast! And yes I have I went for a little run Thursday which went well and so gave parkrun a try. Not great being so public but enjoyed my run well done on your sub 30 after a couple of weeks off!

Fantastic cinnamon #thisgirlcan

sounds like you had a good honeymoon MrsThursday I'm sure you'll be fighting fit in no time!!

I just went to watch my DH get another PB.

Welcome back Thursday

Kimmi time will fly, you will be back at it in no time. Everyone in our house is faster than I am.

I hope this rain goes away in the next 24 hours cinnamon

It's supposed to OhOneOhTwoOhThree, forecast 19C here tomorrow.

Can't you kick him or something karatekimmi . I joked with my friend who I did my 50th parkrun with I'd have to injure her so she didn't get too far ahead of me in number of parkrun's! Just have to keep thinking there's loads more runs to be had including PB's and that having a baby is so worth the time off!

How many weeks are you now Kimmi?

26 weeks so it still feels like ages to go!!

My DH has been doing some group track sessions with a coach and has been making phenomenal progress - knocking over 2 nineties of his parkrun time despite that coaching being for half marathon distance and pace. I think there are a few at club who would help me tie his shoe laces together

I know it will fly by, I'll be back before you know it!

Enniskillen

Been parkrun touristing this weekend. That's number 19 of different events I've been to....

Nice one Melanie

It's MK Marathon day!!!

I'm as excited as only someone who's not running it could be

May the 4th be with you

Belfast marathon here! I'm running the 4th relay leg, so May the fourth is a very auspicious date.

London marathon ballot open now!! I've entered but I assuming I won't get in!!

Good luck Blathers and Melanie!

I've done the same kimmi

Ditto what Thursday says :)

I love it! So many people enter and are relieved when they don't get in, why?!?!

I am in the ballot.....

In other news we had lots of flip flop wearing peeps at parkrun this week. Blathers for some reason I think you know them.

We're they Luna Monkeys Halle? Black and yellow vests?

I got to give crazy marathon running man his 1050-something-th medal yesterday

One was dressed in a costume if that helps Blathers. I don't remember remember any black and yellow vests but we had a club flash mob and wasn't paying full attention.

Looking like a wet Saturday here at the moment!

I am so excited - our regular tail runner is having the weekend off next week and I jumped in there first to volunteer!

Why does that excite me???

It's a nice job ThursdayLast

Because you get to put the spirit of parkrun into action by supporting those who put the most effort into their 5k. And you get to hear some inspiring stories :)

Tail runner is our most fought over volunteer role at the moment - now taking bookings for June as May is full :)

I knew you guys would understand

I'll be doing my 20th event at Norn Irn's newest venue, Limavady.

The age category record I'm aiming for is 28.35....

I'm not a fan of tail running personally. I like time keeping best, probably because I rarely get to finish area jobs as mini kimmi isn't trained well enough yet!! He can cope with marshalling and clapping sometimes although can get a bit agro shouting go faster at the slower people
