With 4 runners, 1 walker/supporter/cheerer and 2 breakfast eaters...we all deserve some sort of loyalty points for Month 2 of GG does PR. Sallyann is keeping us guessing on categories and prizes.

Well we all started at different points...

I did not see Siân for dust after the start line!

Jo and I chatted as we pottered along the route.

Amina did fab as she went blazing through to the finish line.

Lucien was waving and gathering us together after barcode scanning.

Then we all made our way to investigate the next cafe on Lodge lane and to meet the breakfasters that had come straight from bed after their eventful evenings!

A really great start to the new year 2025...Three adventures for the three musketeers on the first parkrun of the year.

1. Puddle trouble - due to bad flooding in Wigan we drove through a drowned roundabout where the car stopped but not the amazing musketeers Afrah and Amina who embraced the cold murky water with some barefeet and pushed the car out to a bus stop while Heetu was at the wheel trying to get it started again so we could make the park run!

2. Mud mask - we made it just in time for the Haigh hall park run where we encountered more pools of muddy puddly terrain but we all managed the slippy mud balancing and splashing through puddles to the end covered in mud but with no trips or falls!

3. Hauled home - The car again was not so lucky to survive the trip as it burst a tyre on the motorway on the way home. The musketeers were not phased and took to the 2 hour recovery wait with funny questions and quizzes to pass the time.

What amazing way to start the new year with 2 amazing AA friends to support you through the haighs and hauls!!! Thank you AAminaA Afrah mustkeeters!
