Well, a few of our members – New Year’s Eve early nighters? – completed a parkrun on New Year’s Day at various venues [9].
Some others had run up and down hills somewhere the day before. Two runners did both.
Julian managed to coax his young Layla around Harrogate for her first parkrun 30 minutes!! Well done. Graham and family returned for their annual pilgrimage to Lyme Park/
Nicola, returning to parkrun after 2 years absence went to the end of the world to run. If you don’t have your own transport, it is the 6:35am bus from Penzance for you! – getting to the event at 7:42! Driving? Just follow the A30, passing the Last Inn, until the road ends!! 😊
Colin went ‘local’ and completed his 50th run close to family. Another lone runner, Tim, fast-tracked around Congleton. With an AG of
At Bramhall the bragging rights returned to PaulG almost a minute ahead of Mr. N. The Johnstones turned up at Northwich. Sharon, first timed and was first lady finisher too. Not top AG as another lady in the V75-79 category pipped her.
A busy Stretford was the venue for AndrewG, Ian and Roy. Ian had his fastest run since September; for Roy it was 9 runs since he last ran that fast.
Guess where? !!
At Wilmslow. With missing Bowstone runners, the first three finishers were not from Wilmslow. The three either PB’d or first timed.
First lady, Sophie, was second overall and was 4 and half minutes faster than in 2016. She has also ran 80ish different parkrun courses.
Whilst the first man to finish was just under 90 seconds faster than in 2018. There were three AGs over 80%. Sophie, Lord Didsbury; and our Di [’80.35%]– who was second lady. Richard was our only other top 10 runner; though he was slower than his 200th run on Christmas day. Kate was easing herself back into running after her Fall from grace in France. Back also after the handicap and taking it easy was Jan. Carolyn too!
