Here’s my last post for a while .. hoping no racing this week.
A crisp and sunny Saturday morning saw 22 club runners run at 10 parkrun events.
Starting at Alexandra Park: Tim gave it a shot at his monthly run there. Just 3 seconds off last week’s Pendle time and second on AG with an impressive 86%. Peter was back after 6 months – but couldn’t get near his previous visit’s time when he set the Course record for his category. Alan was 9 seconds off his PB time; John 4! Ian with his second fastest time in 2022.
At Hampstead, Lydia was back park-running after her Manchester marathon.
RichardL took to a tongue-twister at Newborough Forest, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll! It would be interesting if he had gone by train and had a ticket to show! He returned after a 3 year gap. One minute slower this time.
Rob was back at Bramhall with his fastest run this year. Top AG as usual. Juliet, having run her 100th the previous week at Sheffield, also ran and was first lady finisher. Mark back again with his fastest this year.
After 10 years Graham and Mrs returned to Oldham. Mrs S got a PB. Graham an AC.
Di showed she can take to the hills too! Top AG. Fastest run there since 2016. IanS chose the quiet run at Cheadle. Rebecca first timed at Lancaster.
Roy didn’t go to Didsbury for breakfast – just to clock up his Parkrun Series races – AC too. Nick was running too – PB for him.
At Wilmslow. Sam was first home. Jim 4th with fastest time this year. Matt, DIY repairer and glazier, had his fastest Wilmslow time this year. Graham Pacing? Nic recovering or pacing. Young CharlieH 9th. Mum 3rd female home.
Nic, Richard, Don and Nicky on duty.
Apologies if I have missed anyone.

Thanks Patrick for another great round-up of ParkRun news. Good to see Peter Watson out ParkRunning again and not far off his course PB. Ian A another fine run. After last week’s PB I had a quieter run at Fletcher Moss, but still managed to win my age category. One other ‘shout-out’ must go to Di Bygrave. 23 minutes at Lyme Park is very impressive!
