Happy parkrun eve

[damienair]

It’s been a long time since I last ran at a parkrun. Thankfully parkrun returns to the Republic of Ireland tomorrow morning. And I am like a child at Christmas Eve, I can’t wait to run at my 74th parkrun. Looking forward to seeing and joining in tomorrow on all the parkrun reports. The pic is after my last parkrun which was in Queens University in Belfast just before lockdown. Happy running everyone.

Thank you. Oisin and I will certainly be having a post parkrun breakfast to celebrate 🎉

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Bringing him up properly 👍 🙂

[damienair Administrator in reply to Beachcomber66]

Bought him a new pair of running shoes and running socks earlier today too.😀

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Dad of the year 🙂

[Ian5K Graduate10]

Did they make you run holding that up, damienair? They’re tough in Belfast!

Good news for Ireland! May the road rise up to meet you. 🙂

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Ian5K]

"May the road rise to meet you" but definitely not in a bad way. I've only had a couple of tumbles whilst running so far. 🤣

[damienair Administrator in reply to Ian5K]

Yes but at least it was just a frame 😂 They certainly are tough in Belfast, but the best as well.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Will Oisin now be more than an arm's length away?

🐱 Katnap 🐱

[damienair Administrator in reply to Katnap]

He was over 5 minutes away in the end 😂

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

You'd have to be Mr. Tickle to reach that far! 🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

This is such fantastic news Damien - I hope you have a fabulous time tomorrow!

[damienair Administrator in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Ah thanks 🙏

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Have a great one Damien - we'll be thinking of you!

[damienair Administrator in reply to JonathanP]

Cheers Jonathan. I cared not one jot about pubs or restaurants reopening. But parkrun is different, so looking forward to rejoining the parkrun community.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Enjoy your Parkrun Damien, you’ve waited longer for this day

[damienair Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

Can’t wait. But it is returning sooner than I thought which is fantastic

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to damienair]

I shall look forward to your Parkrun post

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

I am so excited for you damienair. I was quite emotional as I walked to my first one back - be warned. 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🐕

Thank you so much for running the (not) parkrun posts each week.

[damienair Administrator in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, those posts will continue every Saturday morning. I think it will be emotional.

[H4CS Graduate10]

Happy running! Enjoy 🎉

[damienair Administrator in reply to H4CS]

Thank you.

[RunWillie Graduate10]

So excited for you damienair 👍🏻

[damienair Administrator in reply to RunWillie]

Cheers. Looking forward to seeing all my parkrun friends again.

[Jericho2332 Graduate10]

Good luck on your run, glad to see Parkrun return for the good folk of Ireland 👍🏻

I'm say here twiddling my new parkrun bracelet and contemplating actually attending my first ever Parkrun 😬

[damienair Administrator in reply to Jericho2332]

Don’t delay. You will love it.

[Freecloud Graduate10]

Best of luck, I'm going to my very first one in Sligo this morning.

[damienair Administrator in reply to Freecloud]

Well how did your first parkrun go? Hope you enjoyed it.

[Freecloud Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

It was great thanks, I wrote a full repot in the other parkrun post.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

You’ll be running your Parkrun as I write this Damien and I’m hoping you’re having a blast! Well done you’re finally there. 👏👏👏👍

[damienair Administrator in reply to RunBrianRun]

Thanks Brian. It was great to be back.

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

Good luck Damien - you've missed your Parkrun but worth waiting for. I haven't done one yet but will do soon. Hope mine also provides that inventive photo frame opportunity so I can prove it!Best wishes ☺️

[damienair Administrator in reply to Raisemeup]

You will love it. parkrun is the definition of a community event . The Tail Walker was in a wheelchair, people with special needs taking part, young and old, big and small and everything in between. It’s Truly amazing.

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate in reply to damienair]

Just to say, a pleasant 5.8k run this afternoon with friend and dog. So a 'not Parkrun' for now!

[damienair Administrator in reply to Raisemeup]

Well done 👍 nice running

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Hope you enjoyed it today! Glad it is back finally for you!

[damienair Administrator in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Thanks so much. We loved it.
