Enjoyed my parkrun - was my NENDY so now I get a new one. Might well go back to this one though as it was gently undulating, was on paths and was a friendly one.

Did parkrun pushing Brodie. I need number 75 to complete my position bingo so of course we came in 373 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ that’s what I get for sprinting past 2 runners on the last dip down.

A chap who I'd finished ahead of ran past me in the tunnel, I told him (nicely) to get back. Glad I did as I needed position 57, if I hadn't said anything I would have missed out. ;-)

After only seeing far off deer on our run earlier, we had to stop fairly sharply in the car home as a line/herd of 50-60 decided to scamper across the road in front of us. Shortly after the last one was across, they turned round and the line re-crossed the road behind us.

Not as noticeable at a distance compared to the old one. If it was up to me I’d have gone for fluorescent green or something.

My first ever park run was the inaugural Guildford park run. I did the second one too and one other since. The original route was a grassy slog, the winter route winds around on park paths and pavements of the surrounding roads.
