At #MarriottWaters #parkrun event 369 for my own 237th "run". Struggled and slowed to walk multiple times, yet finished the 5km in my fastest time this year. As usual, huge thanks to vollies, without whom these events could not occur.
As well as my own 100th volunteer at #MarriottWaters #parkrun on Saturday, my son Flynn did his 10th volunteer by being one of the Tail Walkers for the event
At #MarriottWaters #parkrun event 367, as Run Director this week. My 100th volunteer credit, including 52 times as Run Director
At #MarriottWaters #parkrun event 366 for my own 235th "run". jogged the whole 5km without slowing to a walk, and finished in 30:38. My fastest time this year and best age grade since 15 Nov. Onwards and upwards
Still slow at #marriottwaters #parkrun this morning, and slowed to a walk a couple of times, but at 30:56 for the 5km, first time under 31 minutes this year is an improvement. Also did 1st Timer briefing, so my next volunteer will be number 100
Slow today, at 31:51 for the 5km at #MarriottWaters #parkrun in humid weather. Heading for low 30s (celcius) later today.

Last event at #MarriottWaters #parkrun for the year. I was slow, having volunteered the past 2 weeks. The year in perspective : 39 runs, 18 volunteer credits (inc. Course checking, First Time Briefing, and Tail walking which is why my total exceeds 52 weeks). Marvin enjoyed walking the 5km.

At #MarriottWaters #parkrun for our 350th event. Timekeeper was late, so I jumped in (3rd time only in that role, out of 93 volunteer credits). All good, she apologised and "understudied" so she would know the role for future events.
30:31 for the 5km at #MarriottWaters #parkrun for me this week, which is slow. Mind you, this is my 36th run for the year (prev. best 35 in 2024). With 14 volunteer credits, I am aiming to match my best for any year, which is currently 16
