[Hidden]

😂 You do make me laugh Vintage! Brilliant! Well done!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! 👍🏻

[Dirty-dancing]

Wow, Well done. I am sure the next park run will mean just as much. 👍🏃🏻‍♀️

[Hidden]

Very well done!

Tell us how you found it - was it all pretty straight forward and stuff?

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Start was busy, but they went through the process, new peeps had their own run through. I probably went off a bit too fast as not used to running with people. But the marshalls were amazing, direct you round the route and are really supportive.

Had a spurt at the end. You receive your finishing disc thingy and then they scan that with your barcode. Everyone is really supportive and encouraging. I’m looking forward to the next one and it’s a good mix up with my lone runs which I love 💕

[backintime Graduate]

Brilliant ! Really well done.

So glad you enjoyed it !

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to backintime]

Quite hilly there, maybe a beach run.

Fabulous! I did my number 37 this morning, and every one has been better than the last - although not always a record! I hope you'll find them the high point of your week's running, just as I do.

👏

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to theoldfellow]

Thank you. I think my first love will always be my crack of dawn solo runs which I find massively uplifting. But this is a fab mix up and everyone is so amazingly supportive 🏃🏻‍♀️💕🏃🏻‍♀️

I run with my 10 year old Son. Whenever we get a PB we go out for Breakfast after parkrun. It’s a great motivator.😂
