I jokingly said on the family chat that I'd come last at parkrun this morning. The title quote was courtesy of my Mother. Charming!

Anyway, 9 GoodGymers were volunteering this morning, plus two taking part! We gathered for a quick chinwag and to get our instructions before heading out to our tasks (and Russell made his way to the start line). Richard was delayed but caught up to the tail walkers. Unfortunately Eden had had a falling out with the bridge and grazed her knee so we raided the first aid kit for some plasters. She was a trooper and made it round the rest of the course.

Andy made sure to stop me en route to tell me the exciting news that he and Joe had drawn at pooh sticks. You heard it here first!

As we made our way back we collected Martin, Jess, Sallyann and Ben who had all done some excellent marshalling, before Rich did our official timekeeping to confirm I was, indeed, last.

Once we'd returned all our high viz etc and had a quick starter of some cake we went on to Spoons for a slap up brekkie. What a way to start the weekend!

Our group run this week will be at Beaulieu Community Centre. You can sign up here

Hope to see you there
