Slow “parkrun” for me today

[UnfitNoMore]

Someone somewhere suggested giving our average time for parkrun to do something good this morning. So I took shopping lists from the workers at the care home who were struggling to shop. Hit the first supermarket at 7:30 and as expected it was packed and things were out of stock. 5 supermarkets later and I’m done... cup or tea and then a nice stress burning run I think!

Aww UNM, that's such a lovely thing to do. Well done, sir.

Next week I’ll think of something quicker...

Don’t see me ever doing a 3 hour parkrun 🤣

Just come back from a 5K "virtual parkrun " ran locally around a course near to where I live, my run time this morning was 33.21. that compares with 33.58 at last weeks actual parkrun, not sure when the proper parkruns will restart, no one knows, that 5K this morning adds another 5 Kilometres to my total for the Vitality World Running Cup.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

They’re saying “months” rather than weeks. Gonna go for a 5k soon, no way I’ll be doing it in a faster time than you today that’s a good time Al.

What a brilliant, kind person you are UnfitNoMore. 🙂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Nothing compared to our NHS and care frontline heroes

Good on you for doing such a kind thing!! 🤩 You don’t mind for yourself, but it’s such a shame when it’s so hard to get the simple things they need and you know they’re doing the right thing helping those who need to stay safe and well indoors. ❤️

Working 12 hours a day, 4/5 days a week, most with kids to look after too... least I could do really.

Good stuff!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Decent strength and flex workout too later when I unload the car into theirs 😀

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Was a great run 😀

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Respect kind sir. That’s a wonderful thing to do. 👍😀

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Wasn’t much... hopefully by next time there will be stock in stores before lunch... I hear that they’re sorting it all out

[CandyCool Graduate10]

Absolute respect. 5 k also done this morning. I’m back to short runs before the build up back to London. But not sure October 4th will actually happen ☹️But it’s keeping me running!! 🤣🤪💕

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to CandyCool]

The training is always good... I’m optimistic for normality by the end of summer

[sunshinefish Graduate10]

Fantastic thing to do, well done. We are shopping for each other on the road that we live on, as we have quite a few elderly folks/self isolating for health reasons. Every little helps in these times doesn't it.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to sunshinefish]

It sure does... well done you guys too, we’re all i this together

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That is such a good thing to do, enjoy your run

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Was a great run... all stress free again until the next shop 🤣

[Granspeed Graduate10]

👏🏼🎉👏🏼 Bravo UNM You’re a star. ⭐️ What a kind idea, and executed with true diligence. Happy running, when you finally get to it. 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Loved my run thanks.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Wonderful effort there shopping for others. I was freaking out in supermarket yesterday with everyone around me. Lucky though as Aldi had everything bar flour and yeast. Hope you had a good run.🤗

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

That’s what I don’t get with the pasta aisle... flour, eggs... done! Doesn’t take long and tastes better too, just like homemade bread does.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I agree, we make our own bread so our current normal stock of flour will be used sparingly. Yum 🤗

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Well done. Great that you are backing up the care workers

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Lots of people helping us need us to help them when we can I think... I’m gonna try to spend all my parkrun time doing that.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Kudos to you UNM!👍
