Cambridge parkrun’s 5th anniversary today and fancy dressers (or rather cross dressers) were out in force. No surprise this wasn’t a record crowd because the weather proved to be entirely predictable for this time of the year – cold, overcast, threatening snow/sleet and lots of icy, muddy puddles to up end you. 446 took part and it was undeniably a fun morning. After the run, we had a good coffee with friends and discussed the races we intended to run over the next few months and into the summer.
I lead this small pack of aggressively competitive runners hungry for success. Because of my altruistic mindset I allow them to overtake me a few metres further on. I also opt to maintain my open mouth, thoughtful zombie look so they take the better picture.
The 118 on the left is Mary Holmes who, I believe, is 78 and occasionally gets a 95% age grade at parkrun. Her best time is around 26 minutes. Phew!!!
The days have passed and Janathon is now over. Janathon total mileage is 104, 9 miles more than last year despite my injury.
At last someone that takes a worse race photo than me! Great Janathon
Thanks for that accolade!
Well done on completing Janathon 😀 I have enjoyed reading your blogs and even had Brussel sprouts for dinner.
Reply below, I think. It’s getting late.
Amazing mileage – well done!
Thank you.
Thanks. But be wary of the lure of Brussels. You could find yourself eating them every day. It’s a slippery slope.
Great pics. Love the cross dressers. 😃
