Just catching upo on what I have missed. Original post updated. changes [in one place] below:
8th February UPDATED
21 runners ran at 9 parkrun events. Mostly at local events or their home course. Tim first-timed at Alexandra park with a fast time; Jan joined him with a brisk run herself. Oliver added Ellesmere to his collection. Julian made a debut at Wakefield. Stephen, local , ran his fastest time since 2018 there. Malcolm cruised around Macc again.
Sale Water saw GrahamS jog round whilst Roy ran quicker than last time but a bit behind his Jan 19 run.
Wilmslow was where MikeH ran his fastest since October 2016 – finishing 4th and it was also his 98th run at Wilmslow – and his highest AG – 81.17%. RichardHa was 6th. GrahamD 11th with his fastest time since his PB last July. JohnP was last club runner bar Don who was volunteering as tail runner.
Didsbury wasn’t quite ladies day. We had Rebecca finishing as first lady, Laura coming back from injury and Carolyn knocking half a minute off her January time. ChrisC split Laura and Carolyn.
At Bramhall Vincent returned to park running after a years absence; PaulN equalling his Dece4mber best time led PaulG home. MarkC now seems to comfortably hit the 23 minute pace.

15th February UPDATED:
28 club runners at 13 parkrun events.
GrahamS travelled to Wales to first-time at Anglesey with a brisk time. Nothing dull with Janines time, her quickest for a while down south. Rebecca chose to sun it down under and returned to her favourite course – first Lady home too. Tim returned to Alexandra Park but didn’t improve his time. NickJ did at Leeds. His 3rd PB on his 4th run!! Not the same – no PB for IanS at York Uni.
The usual strong run from Malcolm at Macc. Andrew at Stretford ran his fastest for ages and gad an AG of 80.97%, Stephen at home in Bristol ran his quickest time this year.
At a busy Wilmlsow, PeterS was first runner home. He almost achieved an AG of 80%!! Trevor was also off the pace for his normal AG score. GrahamD put in a good run – pity his team don’t seem to at the moment!!
ColinC and Julian were next. Ex member Rob ahead of Jan this week. JohnP too just ahead of her too. AlanT last club man home. Perhaps he was pacing. Still he has only 3 more runs to his 300th. Rob has 3 to his 100.
Andrew and Julian volunteered.
Not so busy Congleton saw Oliver stay local with a time just outside his 2017 PB. ChrisC led the breakfast team around – though it may be only coffee at the moment. His fastest since 2018. Roy turned up here for a change but not so fast as his earlier 2020 times here; and Carolyn managed to beat her last time – perhaps hoping Chris had got the coffees ready!
That just leaves Bramhall. Where Barry stormed home second finisher – his fastest time for 20 months. He also volunteered! Nearly had an AG of 80%! PaulN stormed ahead of PaulG before going on holiday. MarkC back now with consistent fast times and Jill jogging round completed our Wilmslow runners.
