Woodhouse Moor was my first one too Jovi, in the days of Time Trial, metal tokens and the guy with the laptop (four digit ID number). I didn't do another one for ages as I had the idea that if you didn't beat your time each time you would be told off!

57.5 Degrees of Pain
An old school friend of mine has run 222 times and done a non running volunteer job 27 times at a parkrun that has run 253 events. Not sure what happened those other 4 weeks!

I am pre barcode - first run #1 Glasgow- but have a number slightly above :-) G's whereas alphabetically I would be slightly before. So IDs must have been being issued in sign-up order by then (late 2008).

There is someone on around 500 runs who has never logged an away run. I'd find that pretty dull. (Maybe though he has a fake ID or does not get scanned away ;-) )

My name is W so I guess that's why I have a higher number when they moved from metal tokens to barcodes?

241 runs with 235 at my home venue. Two other local events on New Years Day (3 runs), one Christmas Day down in Cornwall and one venue (twice) from holiday in Australia.

30 volunteer stints, some of which have been at our local Juniors.
