Week 24
Fortunately the weather had cooled off nicely earlier making running a lot more palatable at the Saturday morning parkrun. Today our runners splattered themselves over various courses around largely the middle of the country with Nicky P furthest away debuting at Boston parkrun, and Sharon C making her first visit to Shrewsbury parkrun. Simon B debuted at Macclesfield and Brendan D took in his first visit to Newark parkrun.
Nearer to home there were visits to Wollaton Hall by Dan W, getting himself a course PB, and a posse of four made it to Forest Rec in Nottingham where Samuel B finished 3rd in the race, and Danielle S was first lady! Edward S & Alyson W also made their first visits to the course. Julie M made her first visit to Trentham Gardens in Stoke and Duncan C was first in his category at Uttoxeter.
Southwards at Conkers, Ciaran M & Kevin P were both in the top ten also getting excellent PBs, accompanied by first timer Martin S, and at Beacon Hill Deanna S & Richard B made their debuts on the course with Deanna winning her age category.
Back home in Derby, Alvaston saw a rather more busy field of runners than usual with the cancellation of Markeaton, Long Eaton and nearby Shipley. The usual large crowd of Sinfinians gathered, helping to celebrate Mark and Sheila G's wedding anniversary, and also Sheila's 50th parkrun! Fiona F had a great run, winning her age category.
There were no volunteers today, but some great running by our members - well done all!
