Week 44
Well some fairly wet weather fell across the UK this morning on the back of Storm Ciarán but that aside, it was nice and cool with very little breeze making for great running conditions, albeit having to run through some big puddles. Thirty-eight members turned out for parkrun, across 13 courses, and three continents!
Starting the day's parkruns, Fiona hit Ballina Coast parkrun south of Brisbane down under in Australia, and over The Pond in the States, Nicky P took on Delaware and Raritan Canal parkrun just west of The Big Apple. Well done ladies!
Back home, 16 members turned out at Alvaston, with Christopher M and Danielle S both first in their age categories, and Danielle also first lady home - she is on fire at the minute! Jerry E, Lorna C, Lucy T, Michael T and Sarah S helped out with a spot of volunteering too - well done guys in this weather!
There were first time visits for Deanna S at Arrow Valley parkrun just south of Birmingham, Kevin P & Martin S at Beacon parkrun in Lichfield, and Sarah R headed to the challenging hills at Gedling parkrun. Chris S made his debut at Mansfield parkrun and Samuel B & Tomas H were collecting their "U" at the University of Northampton parkrun.
Simon B made his debut at Holyrood parkrun in Edinburgh making his 100th parkrun appearance - well done Simon, only took you 15 years!! - and Brendan D made his first visit to Market Bosworth Country Park parkrun finishing 7th, accompanied by Robert L who grabbed a course PB. Julie M debuted at Victoria Dock parkrun and was first in her age category down in the Big Smoke.
Fantastic work you Greens! Enjoy your bonfire parties this evening, if you're having one! 💚💜🎆🔥🌠
