Things I love about parkrun:
- it's reliable - any Saturday morning, 9am, it's happening.
- it doesn't take too much out of your weekend.
- I get an official time and usually a race photo!

- being beaten around the 5k route by children. Some are really quite little too :(
- being lapped! The Reading course is effectively a straight, two loops and straight back to the finish. I normally get lapped by a few people as I finish my first loop and they finish their second. However, this Saturday was obviously super-fast and I was lapped very early on by quite a few people (and a dog!)
- not getting a PB, which I didn't this time. I thought I probably would because I've been running more recently. Oh well.

Well done for getting out there on a weekend! It's cool that you get an official time, it gives you a target to aim for. x
Awesome job getting your run in!
Nice. Sounds like a fun idea knowing it is there every weekend if you want to go... Boo on fast kids!
I'd hate the same things. But good start to the weekend.
It is a genius concept and I really enjoy it (when I actually go). Definitely "boo" to those kids! :)
I love this pic--and want those running tights! You should feel good for getting out there and starting your weekend right!!
That is a great picture! I hate it when kids beat me too, it just feels wrong.
