We had 25 and a bit members running at 11 parkrun events.
Starting off with a success. At Marple the Johnstone’s ran – and Sharon was first lady home
Various runners with or getting injuries! Tracy [pulled up], RichardL and Laura finished as did PeterB.
At Bramhall Barry, with his fastest run since January, nosed ahead of Rob. But Rob was just ahead on AG as they were second and third highest at the event. Matt returned to the course after 4 years to run his fastest parkrun since 2019. Paul stretching his legs for Sunday and Janine – third lady home – were the other club runners.
Laura returned to Congleton after a 2 year absence and PB’d by nearly 90s. Marple also saw Oliver get a PB by nearly 3 minutes. The Cheshire Gentlemans Club runners chose Wythenshawe to stretch their legs.
Lyme Park was a hill to Far for Richard’s back. He finished – unlike TracyB who retired part way through at Alexandra Park with her back. Nic proved last weeks sub 24 wasn’t a fluke. He returned to PB by 6 seconds. Huma led the pack home. Followed by Alan – not too far off a PB. JP also ran.
Nick and Kate were at Didsbury, AndrewC first-timed at Sale and was second home with his fastest run for ages. Another first timer, this time at Evesham, was AndrewG.
Cheadle had such a poor turnout this week – 27 runners including Colin. On his 25th parkrun and the second since his op he improved on last weeks outing. Well done!
At Wilmslow Richard 3rd and Mike 7th were our only top ten finishers. Andy had a fast time but just missed getting 80%AG by a whisker. Rebecca broke 23 minutes, helped no doubt by GrahamD’s pacing! Volunteers: Don, Graham and Andy;

Ian, Tony Hulme and I all struggled with the strong wind on Saturday, particularly on the exposed playing fields and we were all subsequently some 2 to 3 minutes slower than usual. Also they have altered the start and finish at Wythensahwe and I am sure it makes the course slightly longer!
