I also had a fall last Saturday - just as I got up in preparation to get off the bus - the driver had to slam on the brakes and do an emergency stop throwing me forward onto the floor of the bus and bruising me in several places. Still did the run but I'm still pretty sore five days later

Fingers crossed for a quick recovery! I'm going to bow out with this update - the arrangement was to cover SD whilst he was on his walk and that is complete now. I'll alert Sir Soup to my desertion and hope he picks the baton back up, and in any event the 5k app is great for doing exactly this and more in case he doesn't :-)

This week saw 12 of us out there and congratulations must go to Beer Baron who ran an overall PB, and to Soup Dragon and tpfkar for new best times this year. Well done everone for getting out there! Link

I see the spreadsheet is still being updated but without forum posts.

I don't think Glen ran at Upton House junior parkrun.

Since there's (temporary) new management of the league stats, could I finally be added? SD never got round to it, perhaps because I hadn't yet attempted a FNC when I first asked.
