No run for me today as off to Hyde Park to help marshall a10k race. Can't wait, should be fun. We have lovely blue skies, sun is out (although a little chilly at the mo) so a perfect day for clapping and cheering other runners

Are any of you doing the race?

No run for me today either Ali I did a duty at Parkrun, nearly got blown off the top path twice the wind was wild this morning, cold too. Numbers were lower as there are a few 10K & HM on in Inverness and Loch Ness tomorrow so loads going to them so they were probably taking a rest day today.

I'm nursing a painful right hip just now, its the same hip that I had sciatica in January so I'm being altra careful cos that laid me up for 3 months ;( May try a run tomorrow, will wait and see how it feels.

Great stuff! How did it go? Are you inspired to do one yourself?

Marshalling is so important and really helps the runners, good work!

I loved it! Much more fun than doing the run lol.

I've got my first 10k in 2 weeks and although I will get round my time won't be great. I'm hoping that the marshalls on that course shout and clap enough to get me over the last part of the race!

Not what you're looking for?
