Run Director at Salisbury today.

…. I have been wetter … although on that occasion I’d fallen in the river. ☔️🤣

I know what you mean. I was Car Park Marshal for an hour in the rain then ran. Quite damp.

I went to Withernsea parkrun this morning as it’s a newish one for Yorkshire and Humber and I wanted to do a flat one. Also managed to run a whole parkrun for the first time in ages.

Rain stopped just before I did the briefing at Fell Foot this morning - we'd already put a slight diversion in to keep people out of the lake - good time had by all - even the ones who sat down unintentionally

No problem, @Lip Gloss, I don't need much excuse to arrive early for a parkrun! :-)

And, as it happens, it did take a while for the car park payment thing to work anyway.

Mud-fest at Uckfield today. Road shoes probably not the best choice (but I don’t actually own trail shoes)! At one point I though I might lose a shoe in a particularly muddy patch :-)

The rain just kept getting harder! But good fun anyway :-)

Randomly bumped into a family of regulars from my home parkrun as they were also on holiday in the general area :-)

Fastest 5k time in two years for me at Severn Bridge parkrun today and almost 2 mins quicker than any parkrun this year so far. Not really sure how that happened. 26:05 in torrential conditions. Still miles off my 'normal' speed but that's what 18 months of focusing on other things other than fitness will do for you. 🤣
