Who's doing Parkrun in the morning?

[Debston]

I think my dodgy old hip has settled down now and I'm planning on going to Parkrun in the morning so long as it keeps behaving itself. My son wants to go again as well which is lovely. Who else will be parkrunning in the morning? I'll be thinking of my VRBs, perhaps especially AlMorr who is doing his first Parkrun! ☺

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Sadly I’m not... have to go to a mid morning opera... I’ll be thinking of all you guys and probably wishing I was running!!!

[Debston Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Ooh, enjoy!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Debston]

Doubtful, but I shall try 🤣🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Interesting, opera, I have only been to two opera's in my life, Carmen by Bizet and a early opera by Puccini, which opera are you going to UNM while I will be running my first parkrun?.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

The Orphans of Koombu... it’s a world premier and little miss UNM will be on the stage... the latter is the only reason I’m doing that and not parkrun... no parkrun in Buxton so no tome to run and then go.

Have a great run tomorrow

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Enjoy the opera tomorrow with little Miss UNM taking part, thanks for encouraging me on my run tomorrow. 😊 🏃

[Debston Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Good luck, or should I say break a leg to little miss UNM! I did look into the Bakewell Parkrun when we went up to Derbyshire at half term but then realised we'd be travelling up from Kent on the Saturday morning so no good.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Debston]

I was shocked there wasn’t one in town... never mind, there’s always another week.

I’m looking at getting down to Windsor for one from up here, and it’s a difficult decision between very early alarm or a beery Friday with my mate and then trying to run 🤣

[Debston Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Hmm, early alarm or beery evening with mate - tough choice! 😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Debston]

Not been in his company for a couple of years... may not make the run at all! May have to look at travelling on the Thursday I think.

[jmd104 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I’m not far from Windsor, I run at Bedfont lakes near Staines

[Pianism Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Hope you have a fantastic first parkrun AlMorr !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Pianism]

🏃👍

[Redcat19 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Hope it goes well, do let us know 🏃🏃

[Mumpark Graduate]

I’m going tomorrow but not running.

I’m tailwalker with my daughter.

[Debston Graduate in reply to Mumpark]

Great stuff, the volunteers are brilliant. I will volunteer soon, tailwalker sounds like a nice job to do.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Debston]

I love tailwalking 👍🏽

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

.. even if it takes 90 minutes, there was a discussion the other day about a cut off time for certain parkruns, even some people going for a coffee before they finished. 😊

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

🤣

[backintime Graduate]

Good luck Debs, hope your hip behaves!

Good luck to all the other parkrunners!

[Debston Graduate in reply to backintime]

Thank you!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Me🙋....first timer too! 😎

Good luck Debston, hope your hip plays ball. Remember your stretches afterwards! 😊xxx

[Debston Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

🍀 I think you will love it.

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Somehow I thought you would be a regular park runner 😊

Have a great time. 🤩

[Pianism Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Hope you have a fantastic first parkrun Bluebirdrunner - I hope you love it as much as I do!

[Stephen_UK Graduate]

Hi Debs. That’s good news about the hip. Really hope you have a good and pain-free run.

[Debston Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thanks Stephen_UK!

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate]

Glad to hear your hip is feeling so much better Debston!

I'm 50/50 about parkrun tomorrow. Youngest has Drama group on the other side of the city at the same time. Hubby offered to take him but has since said he'll be training for his 100km bike ride. I'm waiting to see!

[Debston Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Fingers crossed that you get to go!

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to Debston]

Nope! Hey ho, will hit the pavement early tomorrow before another all day football tournament for the boys 🏃‍♀️⚽

[Debston Graduate]

Good luck to all, Bluebirdrunner be warned it's a bit addictive! 😂 And yes, I will be stretching until I can stretch no more... Looking forward to hearing all about it.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Debston]

Ridiculously addictive

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Me! Love parkrun! I’ve managed to get a load of our new ex beginners from club to come along for their first 👍🏽

[Debston Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

That's fantastic! Are you all going to run round together or meet up on the finish line?

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Debston]

I think we’ll be in little groups. I’ve got a trail HM on Sunday so I’ll be going slowly but one of the beginners is a 26 min 5k so I’ll be nowhere near her! Others are 45 minutes. We’ll all definitely meet at the end for a photo!

[Debston Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

26 minutes is an awesome time! I am really hoping to beat my pb of 41.09... Good luck for your HM on Sunday, hope you're going to be running through some lovely scenery. I will look forward to a full report and a pic of the bling! ☺

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Debston]

Awe thank you! It’s slightly scary but at least you can stop more on trails 🤣 plus, I’ll be running in a little group from club.

Good luck with a PB - let me know how you do!

[Debston Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Will do! I missed it by 15 seconds last week!

[Ssasqueen]

I’m going - it will be my second park run - I want to beat last weeks time!

[Debston Graduate in reply to Ssasqueen]

Bet you'll be a bit faster now you know the course. 🍀

[Hidden]

I want to, I'm considering it, I love it, but my race is next Sunday, and I want to run 10k again before then. I don't really want to do that next week, I want to relax next week... So I have to do it this weekend ... DECISIONS! 😫😩 Might do Parkrun and 8km or even 7km on Monday.. Then rest up. 🛌🛀🧘‍♂️ 💆‍♂️

[Debston Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Parkrun and a 7km run in the week sounds perfect. Tapering and all that jazz! Not long to go now - hope you're cool and confident, you're going to ace it! ☺

[Hidden in reply to Debston]

Thanks Debs, I'll be fine on the day, it's like going on holiday, once I'm on the plane/starting line, I'll be fine.. but I'll be a nervous wreck until then.. wondering if I've forgot something or left the gas on. 🤣

[Debston Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😂 When I did my 5km race in June, my main worry was that I would oversleep and miss it!

[Pianism Graduate]

Oh, I'd dearly love to be running tomorrow (even walking would be fab!!). I'll be thinking of you all and muttering under my breath haha. I'm not even volunteering this week as my parkrun has a girl guide group doing all the marshalling so I'm surplus to requirements. Still, at least I can lie in!

[Debston Graduate in reply to Pianism]

Enjoy your lie-in. Life is frustrating sometimes!

[damienair Graduate]

Looking forward to it. Was going to do my NENDY but will have to stay local instead. So will be doing my 44th Parkrun at my local Parkrun.

Enjoy everyone.

Damien

[Debston Graduate in reply to damienair]

I'm going to start exploring a few nearby ones at some point soon... But then I will have to get up earlier so I keep putting it off!

[JaoJao]

What is VRB

[Debston Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

VRB =Virtual Running Buddy ☺

[jmd104 Graduate]

Hope your hip behaves itself this morning and you had a good Parkrun

[Debston Graduate in reply to jmd104]

It did and I did, thank you!
