I don't like much really but what I do like, I love passionately. Just like stuff like jogging, music, ice cream, TV, travel, good times. Now my parkrun thread although I do other stuff.
And I got 500 a few weeks back. Goes nicely with the V500.

Just recruited a colleague to parkrun. Should be on commission or do we need a recruiter volunteer role. 😂

What a week it's been and it could be. Ireland beat Hungary to reach the playoffs. Scotland giving me nerves and joy then parkrun 500 to look forward to on Saturday. Full of cold, can't breathe but I'm going to give it a go.

It's going to be cloudy and overcast, with a small chance of rain for the South Manchester parkruns during the golden hour. If we are lucky, we might get a few sunny intervals and light winds too. Get your weather bingo card out, it might be full house.
See you for the cool one at Alex?

The weather looks really good in South Manchester tomorrow morning. Sunshine with a breeze. I'm in Menorca so no parkrun golden hour for me. Go have fun!

Beautiful parkrun morning in the park. A cloth of gold and such lovely people around this week.

Riemer on Munich yesterday and Donaupark in Vienna this morning. The glory of parkrun, the adventures, new experiences and friendship. Perfect, I intend doing parkrun as a volunteer or runner until my dying day.

Heard that Reform and Farage want to report Irish Mammy and Nannies. If they come for them, they come for us all.

Another brilliant Junior parkrun morning. Very autumnal but rays of sunshine in every smile and giggle. 10 miles around the park after in preparation for the MCR Half.

21:58 so very pleased. Friday cheese intake increased, a proper warmup but felt a bit lost physically in the first mile. Recovered finished strong. Jumped on the funnel and was assertive according to my mate Mark. In Germany this Friday so interrupting my progress.

Sunny intervals and 0% chance of rain for the parkrun golden hour tomorrow in South Manchester. Let me know how you did and let's do it all again next week.

95 kids at our parkrun yesterday on a bright but chilli Sunday morning. It warmed up & was a lovely morning. The excitement of the juniors during the warm up and presentation of wristbands is brilliant. The sprint finishes are a joy & the whole morning is a pleasing antidote to the world around us.

Damp and slippy parkrun but I felt ace, ran well and was a bit disappointed with my time, it being slower than last week. It's all about tomorrow, the biggest run before the MCR Half. Then to try again next week. Alex Park for consistency or a bit of a trip? Okay with today's time though. #parkrun

It's going to be a bit wet for parkrun golden hour in South Manchester. Bring a bigger boat.

Saw one of our regular juniors yesterday at parkrun. Started with his Mum & sprinted to the finish without Mum. Was on the funnel & the way he listened to instructions, stayed in order & was polite, was a real credit to him, his family & junior parkrun. Freedom to run, creating courteous runners.

Anything the adult parkrunners can do, the juniors can do too. Attendance record at our junior parkrun today, hot on the heels of the big numbers at Alex Park recently. The future's about the juniors.

Brilliant morning in Alex Park. 22:14 with half mile warm up. Fish and chips for tea which left me feeling heavy and undernourished. But parkrun makes it right and chatting to people before and after was just lovely today. Massive numbers, double funnel working brilliantly and jumped on to help.

Not done one of these for a while due to work and travel. The parkrun golden hour looks like it will be lovely and bright in South Manchester. Hopefully, parkrun #490 tomorrow, which I never thought would happen.
Sunday, for junior parkrun, hopefully similar weather. What a time to be alive?
