I seen this and asked if I could share . There is one person that springs to my mind when talking about parkrun, damienair

Parkrun lockdown poem😁What else would u b doing on a sat night lol

I am a parkrun addict

Thats what people do say

Youll always find me there

Every Saturday,

Things have changed a bit though

Since this lockdown did come

Ive had to change it up

With a virtual parkrun,

Though to be quite fair

In aint all that bad

No need for a 9.30 start

One thing i am glad,

Still meet up with buddies

Though 2metres apart

All been warned not to to sneeze or cough

But its ok to fart😁

cant even socialise

We all have to zoom

Sitting in our bubble

In different corners of the room,

All waiting on Boris Johnson

Who hasnt got a clue

Giving out his orders

Telling us what we can do,

Though on a good note

For all us ladies out there

Weve got a date for our hairdressers

To sort out our hair,

The men they dont need to worry

They just shave it all of

Though some who cant reach the back

They only shave half,

Now getting back to parkrun

What can i say

Somewhere over that Rainbow

Will come a better day🌈

Lovely Poem Buddy34 . Thanks so much for sharing. I’m so looking forward to that day coming. I’m looking forward also to running around our local parkrun course next Saturday with our little parkrun tourist group. The Six of us will be wearing our Apricot T-Shirts with pride.

Nice... but don’t get the Boris bit... if they start a 9:30 they’re waiting for someone else 🤣

That’s what I was alluding to!

Love this although I've never done a Park Run!

I've ran 12 times at parkrun but if I'm honest I love running on my own 👍

parkrun is something which is very special to me. It’s a free 5K run in a park every Saturday morning. That’s it. Shouldn’t be anything special. But it gets very addictive. My local parkrun usually has about 150 People running, jogging and walking. I’ve lived in my town Navan for 19 years now. Other than neighbours and the odd friend I didn’t have a large network of friends locally. But since starting to do parkrun 3 years ago I have made great friends from the local community and I can’t walk through the town without bumping into someone from parkrun. I also love taking part with my Son.

Even running at different parkruns is a great experience. It gives me a goal to run faster, chase a PB , run for fun or chase a free milestone T-Shirt. Give it a go when they start up again. It’s fun and free.

But i understand too where Buddy34 is coming from. I know a few runners who also love running on their own and don’t take part in races or parkrun.

Thank you Damien, I really love your enthusiasm and can feel it radiate through your post. There are lots of them around me and the nearest one being the Humber Bridge Country Park. It's been mentioned to me before and I have signed up and got a number but I really like just going alone. Also every Saturday in the football season my son and I follow Grimsby Town home and away so travel all over the country watching games. I may try one during the end of season one time. Never say never. Wishing you a great week of running ahead.

I've did park run a long while ago. I think I'm with GTC but probably for different reasons. I get quite nervous at the start until the field spreads out. Not sure if it's some kind of claustrophobia🥴. My running is better now so I keep promising to give it another go🤔
