I know I’m an addict, I’ve picked up a virus and feel unwell. I am gutted that I can’t run I’m being sensible, so I can run on Monday. Missing my park run today is awful. 🤧😭😩 all I feel just now is hopeless without my run. I think I am an addict. No I am an addict.

I’m the same. An addict. I want to do 4 more parkruns this year and get to 60 so as I can chase after my 100th parkrun in 2020. I’m planning my weekends around it.

You should make it, there are FIVE more Saturdays this year, also, there are some parkruns held on Christmas 🤶 🎄 Day, not sure if that applies in Ireland.

Thanks Al. My wife is away at a course next weekend so I’ll miss out on parkrun. I’m going to have to take my 2 boys to Rugby. So I’ll have to get to 4 by the end of the year. My local parkrun did Christmas Day last year. If they do it again I’ll definitely be there. New badges for Christmas Day and I’ve never ran a parkrun in December before so that will complete the set. parkrun ran in every month of the year earning me an all weather badge.😀 my wife thinks this parkrun obsession is very sad.

Ha ha Damien, love that last sentence of what your wife thinks of you regarding running at parkrun, a obsession which is very 😔 sad,

I admit I do love parkruns, however, as I have missed a few, I wouldn't use the words ".obsessed or addicted".

At first I only intended to run one, once a month, but since starting in July on average it's been once a fortnight, sometimes as many as THREE in a row, I am thinking at the moment NOT to run any in the cold dark month of January, but you never know,

PS. see if you can get your wife to start C25K. 😊

A very sensible addict!! Rest relax & drink lots of chicken soup and other fluids. Your muscles are repairing too for that next run. They love an extra rest day here and there 🤣
