(Ok, I can’t wait any longer 😂) VRB meetup at Isabel Trail parkrun....why has Oldfloss got a pole sticking out of her head and Runningroni developed an antennae? Sorry, probably the worst photo taken all morning at our fabulous meet up!
It was lovely to meet you all, Oldfloss, Runningroni, Jay66UK and of course, Flaraflarkin . Katnap and i felt like we’d known you all for ages even though we’d only just met 🥰 Must, must, must do it again some time 👍👍👍🦆
Sounds wonderful!😊🏃♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻♀️🏃
It was over61, and we had a really good natter after our run.
🤗
Jay66UK looks like he's getting a telling off and Oldfloss is doing a runner!!😂😂 It was sooooo cool to meet you all in person, wish we'd had longer 😊
🤣 He does, doesn’t he 😂 Most definitely second that Flara 🤗
Story of my life!
😂😂
Just a source of entertainment...
😂😂 you just make me laugh!!😂😂
😂😂
OMG you awesome people! Must have been amazing. I’m so glad it all worked out for you, and it looks like a gorgeous day too. 😍🏃♀️🏃♂️❤️
I want to go back and do it again!!☺
Me too!
Well done! Next time head further north 😂
Much further North! 🏴
Next time head further south!!
Yesssss! 👍👍👍👍
😂 can’t think why my head is spinning!
Next time head further East!

🧞♀️I see a future, a future full of Premier Inns and Travel Lodges 🧞♀️😱
But also meeting lots of lovely, runny people 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
Well done on your meet up! Just brilliant to meet up with some VRB!🙂🙂👍
It was great Sandra, can’t recommend it enough! 👍👍
Next time head further West!
That photo is soooooo flattering 
Not!!!!
It was simply great and we had a blast!
The boys are a delight and we all just clicked... Thank goodness for the forum for getting us all together... I cannot wait for the next one! It was so good to meet the faces behind the names xx
Thank you Oldfloss, they’re not bad really 😉
Fantastic Oldfloss, are you beginning to enjoy running with other people now?
Next time south east coast please 🙏🌻
I’d love to do the south/south east coast - we know lots of people down that way so it’s a definite possibility 👍👍
Brilliant...see you soon, well in due course.
What happened to the tall tale of Floss being arrested and the rest of us spending the morning staging a jail break.
So very good to meet you and I would run with you and cat pack any day of the week.
Wasn't it good.
🤫 don’t tell anyone, we’re in hiding...😂
Great to meet and run with you too Runningroni, and it was, absolutely fab!
😂😂😂
They caved in...I can spin a yarn later 😉
Well done on the snail badges too runningroni, although I bet you all ran like hares.
I have just one badge left. I will save it for you.
Enjoy the skiing.
Hares ? No that wasn't me but catnap and little kitten were speedy.
Yeah thanks so muvh for the badges RR, brilliant idea! I'm going to wear mine with pride from now on! Team Snail 👊
Just fabulous. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s just brilliant! Love it. Well done.
Next time you do your parkrun tourism Brian, you could find you are not in your own!
Oh I really do hope so. I’ve only really ever run on my own and I’d love to run with others and encourage each other. The two times I ran with my brother I absolutely loved it. Here’s to a summer of Parkrun running with some VRBs hopefully 😃
Fantastic TC - looks like you had great weather for it too 😀
Well have to get more people involved at lakeside next time JP! We can’t be upstaged like this. 😂
Definitely Dexy! Or we could come to Southsea, where an additional motivation might be the chance of a PB! 😀
Hope you and UTS have a great skiing trip - I believe it's a bit chilly over there at present! 🏔
Our flat parkrun will definitely give you a PB Jonathan (wind permitting). Coddfish and OH run there too. We just volunteered today as we are both recovering from streaming colds.
Yes a bit scarey at -35c in Colorado. But I have been assured by UpTheStanley that temperatures are forecast to rise next week and more snow will fall. This is our 5th visit but it’s never been that cold before. ⛷⛷❄️☃️
Wow, that is cold Dexy! I hope your colds go before you set off.
I think we’ve timed it right with the colds - feel much better this evening. Touch wood .
Yes I too have suffered from a chesty cold this week. I managed to run yesterday but it wasn't one of my best!
Fingers crossed for the weather then!
I remember reading a travel brochure for somewhere in Siberia once
“It is amazing how quickly the body gets used to -35 degrees”
Enjoy!
Fortunately, it is warmer (-20) and was snowing on arrival . Yay. ❄️☃️❄️
👍🌨👍🌨👍
The weather was as warm as the company JP, it was a beautiful, almost spring, day (still had to wear the bobble hat though 😁)
What a beautiful day you had for it too. It was very grey on the south coast - the Isle of Wight disappeared.
So lovely that the cat family made it to the get together. What time did you have to get up?
It wasn’t so bad Dexy, we left at 6.45am and got there just after 8am. Looking forward to a lie-in on Sunday though. We left lovely, sunny Stafford to return to a grey Warwickshire, so we probably had a much warmer Parkrun than our usual home run.
Well done you. Enjoy school holidays.
Thanks Dexy, the kittens are looking forward to lots of lie-ins!
It is so great that you all made this happen today! You all rock!
BTW I love your shirt Oldfloss 😍 - slow and steady, a mantra so many of us live (run) by 😊
Runningroni gave us all snail badges to match Oldfloss’s t-shirt, which was lovely of her 🤗
How lovely of Runningroni ! A snail posse 🐌😁
Wearing it with pride 😍
Great pic !!! Thank you for posting 😊
Hopefully we will ALL meet at the GC next year
Thanks Irish-John! I’d like to think we could but it depends on the kittens 🤭 Sounds a fantastic meetup though so fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞
And fingers crossed here also
Pandora's box has been opened! 😵☕
Ah, this looks like an 'after run' piccy...pleased you had blue skies. Well done everyone 😎xxx
Yes we were peeling off the layers post run - the weather was gorgeous! Thank you 😊
Yes Jan, it was after run but before coffee & cake (with thanks to Oldfloss !). The pink cheeks are a bit of a giveaway 😂 x
Sounds like you had a brilliant time. I so wish I had been there rather than in a 9 hour traffic jam heading to the Alps. Could be a whole caravan of park run tourists now that Flaraflarkin has started it!
Waaaaah those words sound familiar "Flaraflarkin started it!"😂😂 Eugh your traffic jam sounds hellish - but The Alps! Wow! Enjoy 😊
Oh Sandie, that sounds horrendous! I hope you’ve made it ok now. Yes, Flara has really started something!
Love it 😍
Ah that's just fabulous. Is that jay saying "me? No, it definitely wasn't me!" 😁
You can get away with anything when you look like Clooney 😉
It was ever thus 😁
He's a silver fox alright 😊and he'll *blush* if he ever sees this!🤗
😂 I hope so Flara 😉
😂
:::blush:::
Silver fox, eh! I don't know just can't leave you lot alone for five minutes! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
He he 🤗
Aw - great you all met up! 😍😃❤️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️
I can’t recommend it highly enough MD 😃👍👍👍
I guess I’ll have to change my plans …
I don’t post here too often
Where did I put my gloves?🧤
Putting on a show
