๐ŸŒง๏ธ 16 dedicated GoodGymmers, two lovely dogs and a baby leapt (ish) out of bed bright and early on a sunny* (๐Ÿคฃ) Saturday morning for a lovely jog around the Knavesmire.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธFor some it was our first Knavesmire parkrun, for others it was the first for a while. And yet others are regulars.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ It may have drizzled and blown an (almost) gale but we got round and Paul Kelly even got a PB ๐Ÿ’ช (I hear that Ed's taking some credit for that but I've also heard that it was really Fergy pacing everyone ๐Ÿฉ)

๐Ÿ“ธ After gathering for a group photo, we headed to The Knavesmire pub for a classic breakfast ๐Ÿณ We just about managed to digest it before some of us jogged/cycled in the (somewhat heavier) rain to our next venue - Mayfields Community Trust ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ™Œ Brilliant to see so many people out despite the weather and do let me know if you've got any suggestions/requests for our future parkrun ventures as it would be great to make it a regular thing ๐Ÿ‘Œ

โ˜” *NB It rained. But not as much as the community mission later so that's probably a win ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

PS Apologies for the slightly niche Poirot reference in the pun. I may have spent the first lockdown binge-watching Poirot ๐Ÿ˜Ž
