NYD & NYDD ( New Year’s Day Double )

Chris Cannon writes… I had just opened my umpteenth bottle of beer on Saturday evening, drowning my sorrows, City had just been robbed at Anfield and was I the only saddo with nowhere to go on New Year’s Eve when a text arrived.

Rich. Are you in?

Me. Yes, I’ve nowhere to go. Why?

Rich. Parkrun double tomorrow.

Gutted, I thought it was going to be an invite to wild party.

Me. Lyme parkrun isn’t on.

Rich. It is.

Me. Are you sure?

Rich. I’ve checked.

I finished my bottle of beer off and opened another while I pondered the offer. It was a bottle of chilled Cobra and to brighten up my evening I even cut a slice of lime and wedged it in the top.

Rich. Jonesy is in.

Me. Why not? What time are we leaving?

Rich. 7.55.

Such is life.

Lyme Parkrun 9.00 AM.      Marple Parkrun 10.30 AM.

Alan McCormick     21.02

Graham Screawn    22.12             21.20

James McDonald    22.34            21.50

Sharon Johnstone  22.40

Paul Garnett            23.33

Ian Smallwood        24.20            24.35

Tony Hulme            26.45            24.57

Sharon Jones         28.45            26.23

Chris Cannon           28.46            26.20

Richard Hirons        28.48            26.24

Ian and Graham also ran the 6 mile between the two parkruns and we last saw Ian running back to either Lyme Park or home.

We did offer a lift.

What better way to start a year.

  1. So, the hilly Lyme Park 5k run costs 7/8-minute milers about 2.5 minutes compared with a more normal Parkrun. At one second loss per metre, that suggests it has up to 150m of ascent. HNY to all.
