I didn't bother to scan my barcode as it was in my bag one of their volunteers said what's ur number and position. They didn't add it in email said he spoke to all volunteers nobody admitted fault or even talking to me pretty shoddy explanation defo not recommend this Parkrun to anyone else. Im taking it as a free run not in results

I must admit they didn't seem a great or friendly bunch when I went there - appeared very inclusive I thought.... The only one less friendly was Wanstead Flats if you recall Andi...

Ah the one in Bala, my parents only live an hour or so away from it and I'm back there for Easter weekend. Very tempted by it...

This weekend fancy a beer?

A fairly busy weekend with 12 of us running, though only 11 results recorded due to Andi's glitch at East Brighton.

This weeks Highlights
Rhys1995 sets a PB with 14th Place at Brandon Country Park and his time was a CB of 22:58
xCooler123 also sets a PB with 66th at Camperdown, his time of 25:15 was a SB
SoupDragon set a new PB at Littlehampton Prom in a time of 19:53, shaving just 2 seconds off his previous time.

Medals:
With Iain running at East Brighton the course is now included in the medals table, the first medals awarded are:
Gold - Soup Dragon, Silver - Going Underground, Bronze - Iain.

My back/leg's playing up again - going to give Horsham a spin though. Don't care about the time but hope I don't knacker myself for my week off!

Well that seemed okay - back to walking but happy with the time considering. A lovely course and team, plus nearly 700 runners. Plus after seeing tons of them on facebook, I finally found a parkrun picture frame!

Me and Andi both ended up at Pont y Bala as it's not far from my parents and Andi needed to complete (again) the Full Ponty. An out-and-back twice along a flat path by the 2 rivers in Bala. Great bunch of people, stunning weather for it and gorgeous scenery in the background to top it off. Not particularly happy with my time of 25:25 (paced it all wrong on the first out-and-back so blew up on the second one) but at least I'm being consistent Also lovely cafe to meet up in after.

Yes defo agree on that front good free parking as well at cafe not far to walk. I really must get a watch then I know when I'm doing well paced myself better at start but still feel could have gone faster the 4 break up of turning round cones break up the pace somewhat. Otherwise pleased with my time haven't gone that good in a while and no clicking of knee although 6 hours of driving back means my knee has ****** up big time.

Was lovely to run with a tube challenger I don't normally see

Happy Easter one and all. The sunny and warm conditions saw 12 of us running this Saturday.

I was at Alice Holt, parking is £2.00 but at least you get 10% off at the Cafe with your barcode, I enjoyed a large coffee and banoffee cake for £4.

You also forgot to mention that I'm the only Parkrunner in the world with all the running badges that don't rely on luck accomplished only me.

Well done Andi, to be honest I don't understand what all the different badges and challenges are. Kevin was explaining some of them to me the other week. My biggest challenge is getting out of bed on a Saturday morning (especially this week, I was full of cold). How do you get all the different badges?

Nothing lucky about 'Single Ton' or 'Double Ton', you don't have either of those.

Yes but that ain't a tourist badge is it and if I started in 2005 or 2008 then I'm sure I have those too
