And a good time was had by all..

Dexy5 has already explained how the motley crew of herself, and UpTheStanley (who I’m proud to say are now my social bubble!) plus Mr and Mrs Coddfish and yours truly came to be (not)parkrunning along the prom this morning. Well, why wouldn’t you?! In true OGR style I worked back from where we’d agreed to meet and the time and left home far too early at 0920. After a quick walk to my usual start point I proceeded to do my 5k at an unbelievably slow trot. In fact it took me 50 minutes - but it was later than I’m used to and hot and humid! Well that’s my excuse and as it’s likely to be the only time I’ll get to the end point before the rest, I’m taking it thank you! But it was fun, we were colourful in our tee shirts , and we had a lovely chat over a coffee on the beach afterwards - what’s not to like?! Happy non-parkrunning folks!

Sounds like a great run and made even better with a meet up with friends😊😊

It was, Buddy, it was!

Well done for facing the heat and humidity to join us this morning. But it’s good to get used to different running conditions in case you want to do a race sometime. 😉

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Wot, me, race?

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

You will OGR, believe me, races are as addictive as PR. *You will*! 😅

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

I love that you’ve found such a brilliant social bubble. Great virtual event for you all - well done. Happy running 🤗

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thank you Grannyhugs! To be fair, we’ve been a social bubble for donkeys years - it’s just formal now!

Thank you Lexi!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Brilliant OGR, what fun! You have a good bubble there, that’s for sure! ❤️

I’m with you with struggling with the humidity yesterday. I was dripping after my 7k even though I went out fairly early. And I’m not a dripper normally! (TMI?! 🤪) 🥵

Happy running and bubbling. 😘

Thank you Cheeky!

You got there first and Dexy arrived closest to the agreed time - I’m sensing another sub competition here!! 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

I can’t compete with Dexy, Sybilw, she’s much too fast for me - I’ll just have to learn to slipstream behind her!

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Just sometimes running is about accepting your limit! As long as you have fun.

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

Well done all, a great idea

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Thank you RunaroundSue, it was good fun and we’ll be doing it again !
