That lady pushing the stroller ---

wasn't going to beat me across the line at parkrun!!! You can see that she was running fast!! - look how that baby is hanging on!!!

Parkrun again tomorrow !! - and then on Sunday we are going to investigate a runners and walkers club

ttscrunnersandwalkers.org/ They seem to have a good mix of ages - although I DO NOT believe that the top photo is them !! Unfortunately they are an hours drive away - but at the beach and they seem to be quite "social ", going to breakfast/lunch after their Sunday run.

Parkrun next week is "pacers week" -- I think that I might just have a go at trying to keep up with the 30 minute pacer -- you never know!!!!

Sounds excellent. Well done.

Yes, it would be a bit embarassing to be passed by somone pushing a huge stroller one handed !

That child regrets pushing the 'Warp Speed' button now

Hope the club turns out to be what you want/need Keep us updated & good luck catching the pacer (sorry, I meant keeping up with ;D)

At least you won't have to put up with these inconsiderately fast pram pushers on the beach if you join the sandwalkers. But why are they wearing shoes? And how do they keep the sand out? Someone must have photoshopped the cover picture!

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to gary_bart]

No - we do run on the beach here in shoes!! But I think that that photo was of a race that maybe some members participated in. The photo underneath is the real "them"

[gary_bart in reply to Bazza1234]

You have left the mystery of all mysteries unanswered! How do you keep the sand out??

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to gary_bart]

It's hard sand!

[gary_bart in reply to Bazza1234]

Ah... OK that makes sense. I suppose it would be a bit masochistic to run on soft sand, anyway. (Not to mention the fact that all the local osteopaths would come gliding in to perch on the trees, and leer hungrily at all the runners as they set off.)

Looks great - my aim at Parkrun is to try and get round the first lap before the lead runner laps me.

Youre such a cool dude , Bazz

You make it look oh so easy ! xxx

[Bazza1234 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I am certain that you are mistaking me for somebody else!!

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

You are far too modest Bazza , you always look very comfortable on the pics I have seen of you xxx

The lady at pushing the stroller in one hand must found to be hard. It is really great!
