50!

[benwill]

No not my age but I completed 50 parkrun's yesterday quite happy with that a few pushing a buggy, 43 with the 10 year old and PB of 23.35 done in Eastbourne my home parkrun (Maidstone) is a PB of 23:55. All this in about 14months but to my shame only volunteered 3 times.

A photo of me leaving my 10 year old for dust in sprint to the line!

Oo! Shame on you - leaving your son! 😉 Only joking Ben! Big congratulations on 50 Parkruns and PB's I can only dream of!🙂

Shame on me? noo it will do him good it will make him try harder next time. And plus he moaned all the way round - foot hurts, got a stitch, i am hungry, i want to walk etc etc he is normally very good!

as for those PB's i haven't got near them for ages!

Congratulations Ben on the big Five- 0

Blimey you can really see the difference your weight loss has made in this pic- Well done !

Ha ha I have to laugh at your son's face, he is going to get you back for that, you know that don't you ? xxx

thank you the picture is great and so fortunate that we have such a great photographer turn up most weekends. As for my son he should have ran faster!

[ancientrunner Half Marathon]

Congratulations. Great picture.

[Eatcakeandrun Marathon]

It's nice to beat your son - isn't it

Mine beat me for the first time a couple of weeks ago (though he is 32 to my 62 so he ought to...).

I'll give you a word of caution, though. Don't run off ahead at Durham parkrun like that. If he comes in on his own there with no adult anywhere near he is likely to be given a double expresso and promised a free puppy.

[benwill Marathon in reply to AdamB]

Your right he should beat you mine is only 10 but i have a feeling he will be beeting me soon!

i always thought durham was a lovely little town, from the pictures!

[C3PO Marathon]

Congratulations!

[turnturtle Marathon]

Ooh look. Flying feet! In all my 3 years of running no photo has ever captured me with flying feet. Well done. you're a proper runner!

[benwill Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

i dont get many flying feet photos in fact in most of my running photos i tend to look more like i am speed walking.

[ju-ju- Marathon]

Fantastic pic, brilliant time and lovely surroundings too... well done!!

[benwill Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

not sure about lovely surroundings, but i guess we do go along a river, past a castle and an oast house then we have the bouncy bridge over the river!
