Sun, run and done

On a bright sunny Sunday morning heading to Woking park to help with Winning junior parkrun, the wind was gentle and great conditions for a big turn out for JPR I as got closer to the bandstand the crowd was small but still growing. I made the other GoodGymers Ann, Katie, Sharon and Melanie who were getting there high-vis vests on ready to take their position as marshals. I was going to be at the the back of the start line and do my duties as the tail walker. As the announcements started with the course conditions and the rules were being given the crowd started to grow. And once the warm crew started with their gorilla stamps, their high knees the whole crowd bounced around rhythmically until the big count down from 10 to 1 happened to signal everyone to head to the start line. Once at the start line everyone waited for the count down to start, as I waited at the back of the crowd as they all stormed off. We managed to complete the first lap before the first runner past us. We carried on focused on encouraging the last children to keep on going. There were bursts of energy and running quickly by these youngsters followed walking and recovering.

It wasn't too long before all 110 runners finished including us. The sun was still shining brightly as we cleared up for another week. Well done all 😀
