As most of you know I’m fairly addicted to these. ☺️ And tomorrow I’m doing the Swansea Parkrun as the penultimate run of my summer tour. I’m dreading the thought of not being able to run these again for another year as I have so much fun doing them😢
Are you planning a Parkrun tomorrow?
I’m going to try to get to our local one. I did my first one last weekend and can see how addictive they could get! Got a busy weekend ahead though so it’s not a definite but I will try my best to make it 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ 😃 💨
Oh good luck if you manage to make it! Sets you up for a great weekend once it’s done 😃
Yes! Only missed one since February as I was in Bulgaria! Can’t decide which one to do though. I’m spoilt for choice 👌🏽
Wow! That’s some record. You’ll probably have your 50 shirt this year then 😃👍 And so lucky to have a choice too!
February if I keep going 😂
Choose the flattest one Tasha 😂 Good Luck xx
Yes there’s a flat one nearby at Redcar but I might save that til when I’m back at work. It’s either that or some real ParkRun tourism at Fountains Abbey which would be hilly but picturesque. Good luck on your PB challenge 👍🏽
Yes I plan to do my local Coventry Park run as on the way ask from Balloch. Scotland. Gutted that have not been able to do a park run in scotland
Oh, that’s a shame. But you’ll be out there tomorrow doing your thing and that’s the thing 👏😀👍
Park run done in 31:48, although my pb is 26:16 I am extremely happy with this as I ran 11km before the park run and started at the back of approx 650 people. Just to let you know I will never do that again lol
I still can't believe anyone can do 11km before parkrun. 👏👏
Yep - going for a PB tomorrow in Hastings 😁 haven't run it at my own pace for 7 weeks (been helping my son round) so hoping to see a decent improvement 🤞
Oh good luck with that! I’m not expecting a PB tomorrow even though the course is flat as I got lost on my run yesterday and ended up doing 7.5kms instead of an easy 5k and I’m stiff as a board today 😢
Haha! I know that feeling! Actually bought myself an OS map because I kept getting lost on runs/walks 😁
Hi how did your Parkrun go today at Hastings?😀
Good thanks Runsome! A new PB of 26:54 😁 Did you do it? x
Excellent well done you must be pleased. 👍I thought it was still quite hot running in that sunshine I expected it to feel cooler. yes I did it and got a PB 30.49 knocking 59 seconds of my first park run last week😀
Brilliant - well done! Did you see Dame Kelly Holmes? She said well done to me with about 400m to go and ran part of the way in with my ex-husband and my son 😮
Oh no I must have missed her that’s a shame it’s nice that someone so well know gives encouragement to others. Mind you I could have run past the queen and not recognised her. I was really struggling. I’ve got a bit to learn about running ,went out too fast hit the half way mark at 14.25 and that was it nothing in the tank to get me to the finish I really thought I may stop for the first time since starting the C25k just hung on to the line🤪
Oh I know that feeling well! It will get easier as you get stronger. The first time I ran 30 mins dead I stopped twice and felt like I might die 😂
Dame Kelly Holmes gets around parkruns doesn't she? What a brilliant inspiration. Was marvo69 there too?
Not today Dexy - I think he might be running with me again on 1st Sept. Looks like Dame Kelly ran her fastest parkrun today (it's a very flat fast course!) in 17:48 😮
I bet the racers like to beat her for bragging rights
Only two men managed quicker than her today and I think one of them managed to run slightly the wrong course 😂 Phenomenal considering she's in her late 40s and it's not her distance x
Fantastic. And twice as fast as me 😢
Don't worry about that Dexy! Same with my son and his Dad (slower than you were today) she ran some of the way in with them and told him he had to beat his Dad 😂 He had no idea who she was bless him - he just thought it was one of the front runners! I've shown him the videos of her Olympic golds and he's well chuffed 😊
Oh bless. That’s something for the return to school essay of ‘what I did on my holidays’.
I’m hoping to do the Vogrie parkrun near Edinburgh tomorrow! A rare Saturday off work for me and my husband is driving me there! (35 mins). Will be my second parkrun but first time doing this one! Getting a bit nervous already which is ridiculous!!!! 😀
I didn't even know there was one at Vogrie! Well you learn something new every day. I usually go to the Cramond one, which is very flat and at the mercy of the coastal weather occasionally. I may try Vogrie next time though! I imagine that's a lovely place to run.
Enjoy the run 👍😀
Thank you! And you too! 😀👍
Doing my first one tomorrow 😊
Oh cool! It’ll be fun. Just run at your own pace and start slow.
I'll be Parkrunning tomorrow. My local one is two laps of the park at Elgin. It will be my second Parkrun. I have even cancelled a hair appointment so I can run 
My hair is badly needing something done to it but running is more important 
😂 now that is commitment right there 😂
I'm a marshal at Swansea tomorrow.
Oh wow! I’ll be the red faced one panting like a hound! Keep an eye out for me 😀
You'll be one of many such!
'Fraid I won't know which patch I'll be allocated until I get there.
I’m looking forward to going to the Burnham one, it’ll be my fourth, can’t believe I was so nervous before my first one now I’m swapping shifts so I can get to it!
I know, it’s an addiction for sure!! 😀
Banbury hopefully (as I mentioned in my post ).feeling a bit scared
You’ll be fine. Looking forward to reading your report Flick 😃
I’ll be out for my 6th one at Birkenhead. No summer tour for us, but we enjoy just going to a local Parkrun. Do you not have any local ones you can go to once your summer tour is over? ❤️😎
Enjoy your Birkenhead Parkrun 😃👍 Sadly no such thing as a Parkrun exists where I live. 😢
No way 😱 I’ve got 7 in a 12 mile radius
You’re positively spoilt for choice then! 👍😃 I wish but never mind the memories keep me going for ages!
I am. Loads more within an hour too.
😔😔😔❤️
Hi Brian I will be having a go at Hastings Parkrun tomorrow.👍
Oh, have a great time! 👍😃
Swansea parkrun is lovely, flat, flat, flat and a finish on the seafront....have done it as a tourist a couple of times (including last week....) home parkrun is Cambridge.....will be there tomorrow, looking forward to a slightly cooler run! Enjoy! 👍🏃♀️

I’m really looking forward to it and, if I hadn’t got lost yesterday on my run, I might have gone for a PB. Legs are a bit achy today so I’ll just have to see how I feel and go from there.
Hi BrianUK, yes I will be back at Southsea parkrun again tomorrow. It will be nice and flat after last week’s up and down journey through the woods in Hyndburn. The temperature and wind forecast looks good too.
Happy parkrunning everybody
🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️
Have a good one! Southsea is definitely a nice flat course! Hope you and upthestanley have a great run! 👍😃
Oh and UpTheStanley will be there too, but much further ahead. 🏃♂️. 🏃♀️
Yes, he’s super quick!!! 😀
Hi Brian, Lloyd Parkrun in Croydon for me.
I love doing them now, despite being nervous before my first run a few weeks ago. 😊 It’s such a friendly and supportive event, and I can’t help getting carried away with the enthusiasm! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Hi David, yes me too! I still get a bit nervous but it’s more to do being a part of it than running itself. Good luck and have a great run tomorrow!
I’m off to get my shut eye for tomorrow. I hope it’s a better night’s sleep than last Friday night. Have a great park run everyone wherever it may be. 😃👍 and don’t forget those barcodes! 😳
I expect that you are sensibly sleeping. I am full of butterflies 🦋🦋🦋 and hope to take part in my first Parkrun tomorrow. Markeaton, Derby.
😂 Nope. 😂 Still wide awake darnit. Have a great run tomorrow 👍it’ll be fun!
My first ever 10K Charity Run tomorrow!! Any advice? 
Not sure about tomorrow ...
First 10k booked - eek!
