Was it panto week? Well done! I keep meaning to go, but either I have a cold or my running partner does. I am too much of a wuss to go on my own. Must man up!

Stag do apparently ! If you can make it to Lincoln ( no idea where you are ! ) I will be a friendly face, happily .. but if not then I'm sure they are all as friendly .. really all about the social running, not a race at our level ..

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to RobD]

Sussex, so a bit far for a Saturday morning. I need to just go; I am sure I will enjoy it when I get there!

[RobD Graduate]

You will

Congrats on popping your parkrun cherry

Great picture. Well done. Looks like a lot of horsing around there. Must be something in the water in Lincolnshire ! If I come I'll bring my own water.

Don't mind the friendly faces just don't want to end up looking like the back end of a horse !

But looks like you had a good time.

[RobD Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It was great .. but I was beaten by one of the horses !!

[Hidden in reply to RobD]

Well that's sealed it then Rob ! The only way were gonna get faster at this running lark is for us to get harnessed up.

But only if I can be front of panto horse !

Well done, isn't parkrun brilliant? I was marshaling this morning, and I enjoy it more than running - I get to see everyone's faces and efforts from the ridiculously speedy to the mid-pack runners to those finding it a bit harder in front of the tail runner.

I love explaining to people just out for a walk what is going on, and encouraging those needing a bit of help. We had a hen party running this morning in shiny pink satin sashes, and I don't think most of them were parkrunners, but they finished.

[RobD Graduate in reply to Scruffy64]

Thought you meant marshalling at Lincoln then !!

[Scruffy64 Graduate in reply to RobD]

Ah, sorry! Got carried away with my enthusiasm for parkrun and forgot to add I was at Stratford upon Avon. I'm always amazed people can run in costume when I can only just manage it in regular gear! Great photo of the panto horses!

Is that you behind the horse, looking for a quick ride to the finish ? Well done youx

[RobD Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Cheeky

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to RobD]

Park runs are great aren't they. Ours this morning had a Halloween theme - lots of runners and volunteers dressed as skeletons, witches etc. - quite bizarre if you just happened to be walking your dog!!

[SlowWorm2016 Graduate]

Glad you had fun, RobD !

[RunningGeek Graduate]

May see you there at some point Rob. Will avoid the back of the horse though 😁

[RobD Graduate in reply to RunningGeek]

Would love to put a real person to a forum ID Green Brooks trainers & Ron Hill trackster running tights

[ju-ju- Graduate]

That looks like a fun parkrun!!!

[RobD Graduate]

Very much so
