Well done to my little run buddy on his 10th Parkrun this morning. We traveled to a different Parkrun today for some tourism. I’d done this course twice before but it was a first time for 9 year old Oisin. The weather was awful, driving wind and rain. But we did it and crossed the line together in 28:55. He will be getting his first milestone Parkrun T-Shirt soon. I can’t wait to see him in it. My Sister joined us this morning for the celebration. The post run breakfast was delicious.

Congratulations Oisin! That shows some grit, getting out there in that weather!
Congratulations to you and Oisin on completing your parkrun in dreadful weather, Oisin's 10th, yes you will be very proud of him when you see him in his milestone Parkrun T shirt. 😊
Yay! Congrats Oisin (and you too, Dad). It must be so nice to share this experience with your son.
Thank you. It is great, Parkrun has become something we both do together. It’s lovely to see him mixing at the start line with kids and adults of all ages. And it gets him away from the PS4 for a few hours.😀
Exactly! I tried to get my son into running when he was Oisin’s age but it wasn’t his thing. Maybe if we had a local Parkrun, but I doubt it. You either love it or not, he was not. Enjoy this time with your son!
Try again in good weather. It might just click.
Maybe. I've got my husband interested in doing some short runs with me, so perhaps we can get him out as a family run thing, especially when we hit the trails.
Go for it.
I’ve a little guy of 6 years also. I’d love to get him going too with his mum so as the 4 of us could do it together. Maybe later when the rugby season ends.

That is a perfect picture - a family running together ..... my dream 😊
Congratulations Oisin... wear that shirt with pride, not all of us can get that one 😂. It’s gonna look great next to that red one in 40 more runs too!
Thank you. We ran today at a relaxed pace. It was perfect got puddle jumping. I’d have died 1 year ago.😱
So glad to have had all the interval training. That was the tough part.
Running is so tough as you know. Especially the pacing training, but it’s caracter building and pays off.😀
What wonderful memories you are creating with your family Damian. My Respects 
Well run!
Are aghaidh leat a Oisin.
We will wear it with pride. Health and Happiness. If only someone could bottle it. Oh wait they did. It’s Parkrun.😀
Congratulations Oisin! Plenty more where that came from I am sure!
Fabulous 💗💗.
Wk9R2 - I nailed it for all my running buddies!
