LYME PARK is not for the faint hearted of runners very difficult to traverse especially if u come a cropper and plant urself on the ground cutting urself up and bruising urself in process nice to see i still got gold though despite that!

[Iain]

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

[Soupie's Stand-in]

Hope you heal up well boys. On Monday tractakid took advantage of extra Dutch parkruns and had a run around Sittard. Well done tractakid!

Oh, was not aware Geoff M was at Bournemouth parkrun last week...

[Golf]

had another injury left calf muscle seized becuase i was protecting the right knee just before 2km mark shame as i was running well

[Soupie's Stand-in]

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

A belated thank you to Soupie's Stand In for the last year. I do enjoy seeing where everyone has been!

[tractakid]

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

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

what i like to know is how did geoff get inside knowledge that MORDEN was starting when KEVIN didnt thats 2 regions in the matter of 9 weeks taken away from me

still never mind its only 1 in each region i half expecting christchurch to take my south west away hopefully my times will be getting back to usual as i have had a few injuries recently

[Ally]

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.
