PBs and milestones at Croydon parkrun
8 GoodGymers made their way 5km in a race in Croydon.
- Saturday, 3rd of June 2017
- Led by Juliet Stevenson
While some Croydon runners take part in the Lloyd Park parkrun regularly, there was a good turnout this week; a couple of regulars, someone new to GoodGym and parkrun, a couple of PBs and a double 50th celebration for one runner!
Lloyd Parkrun regulars Jordi and Matthew both ran amazingly. Rachel made her 50th parkrun (ahead of her 50th good deed a couple of hours later!) and got a new PB. Andy joined us for a first parkrun (after his first group run with us on Tuesday), and was absolutely brilliant. We were also joined by Stephanie, who also joined us for a group run for the first time on Tuesday, who did a sterling job! Also along today after a starter session last week, was Samantha. We look forward to seeing you guys at our Tuesday group runs, where we can put some work into getting even better times next time!
Juliet and I weren't racing today; Juliet was at the start/finish point as she's writing the parkrun report for the week, and due to a bit of recent overexertion I decided to try marshalling for the first time. I would like to think I channelled the Race Team's penchant for super enthusiastic cheering; given that I was at the top of Lloyd Park's notorious hill, I hope it worked!
After the race, a few of us popped for some coffee and brunch before heading off. With 4 of us heading to a fantastic mission a couple of hours later, and a Croydon GoodGym Olympics flag session, it was a brilliant, exhausting, and productive day!
