I think the station is only a few mins walk so you shouldn't need long...

My legs hurt. Good to see Soup Dragon again though! I was disappointed to come in at 30:11, and my wife knocked a good two minutes off her PB with 35:58!

My girlfriend does it begrudgingly! Wouldn't do Parkruns if I didn't!

My wife will occasionally come and watch me, and she's going to volunteer to help out at a couple when the weather picks up properly. But she can't run.

My wife would like to point out that she does not at any point like running and is only doing it because I do it. (Christ, I don't even like running, I just like the accomplishment from improvement.)

Cheers James, it was good to see you also. Looking forward to the next Saturday off and a chance to do it all again. I can't believe I'm saying this but I was a bit disappointed with my time, on reflection I could have probably pushed a wee bit harder. To think I set myself a target of sub 22 mins for the year and now I'm moaning about a sub 21 min time!
One day I shall return!

Just as slight amendment is 120 runs for me... I only noticed because I currently have the following pleasing pattern...

Runs = 120
Events = 60
Inagurals = 20 :)
