So it appears that a few of us might be convening upon MIlton Keyes for the parkrun there on the 29th November ...

... it could be nice to get a whole group of us together on that day for a mass-Tube Challenge parkrun get-together?

Myself, Matt Scrivs, Andrew and Anthony (also his nearest parkrun!) are all up for it. Anyone else? Andi, Nozza, etc .. ? Not to race each other, but just a fun gathering of those who do the tube and also like their Saturday morning 5K's

even if we don't all get to do MK on the 29th, doing another one in London (hey.. you could all come to Gunnersbury...) at somepoint where everyone could make it would be cool ... just a thought.

OK my parkrun plan...

25th ??
1st: Tring inaugural
8th: Burgess
15th: probably MK (R15 day... but day after FNC means sleep wins)
22nd: ??
29th: EVERYONE AT MK! :D

I have managed to wiggle out of rushing away early after the 29th, which is good news.
