Fabulously sunny morning down at the Fields.

Sooz, Sarah and Hilary made great headway on setting up the course and coordinating local volunteers for help - ensuring the full route was marshalled safely.

Hilary took charge of the young Duke of Edinburgh volunteers, securing the all important finish zone with expert timekeeping to ensure every one of the 36 runners received their position and time.

Sarah took up position on her favourite tree 🌳 and then they were off.

All finished and packed away in less than 40 minutes - a swift and wholesome start to any Sunday morning.

Today’s stats: 🏃🏽 36 parkrunners in total 🏆 13 of today’s runners achieved a personal best 4️⃣ newcomers came, including 2 tourists all the way from Edinburgh.

A straightforward lunchtime mission to help Mr T with some shopping - his list neatly planned out with only a couple of clarifications required (particularly, what is a "Chicken Steak"? As a veggie, not wanting to come back anything too rogue from the meaty section) and instructions to source the longest lasting spinach possible.

A short trip round his local aisles, handy trolley in, er.. hand, and I was back at his flat with all shopping broadly successfully sourced. Unfortunately Mr T only has 3 days to eat his spinach, but I suppose that's better than 1 or 2! Great to have a little chat - covering a surprisingly wide range of topics given the time available - before heading back to the desk.
