None yet but got a huge sweaty hug from an 80yr old gentleman for keeping him going. He and I were playing cat and mouse for 2/3 of the run on Saturday and then he beat me by a second with his long legs!

However a 50 T-shirt would be good. Only 25 left to go πŸ˜‚

😊 as a veteran of 2 runs, not guilty of any of them; yet. Could generate a list of my own swimming pool mishaps though, like ending up with my hand trapped underneath a lady’s shoulder strap through doing back stroke in an overcrowded pool!! Fortunately she laughed like a drain! πŸ₯΅

After only 3 Parkruns nos 8 and 9 !!!πŸ˜†πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜

I high-fived a volunteer marshall on my first one, she wasn't expecting or wanting to, and kept me hanging and jogging on the spot for what felt like foreverπŸ˜‚...

No. 1 too , but not kebab just waking with that cheese and wine feeling...now abstaining on Friday nightsπŸ˜‰

I’m overtaken by them each run, no exception... and a few 80 year old women. One day!

So love that! No 9! Last Saturday at our parkrun, second placegetter was a youngish man pushing his baby in a buggy and I hadn’t even reached the half way point by the time he’d finished! πŸ˜‚
