Sunny Junior parkrun 205

6 GoodGymers made their way to help the parkrun - Woking junior parkrun in Woking.

Woking junior parkrun 205 on a sunny Sunday morning.

106 children took part in the Woking junior parkrun 205 and 5 GoodGymers: Anne, Eddie, Lauren, Richard and Victoria made their way to Woking Park to help this week’s run director: our very own James.

While warming up one of the young runners fell and grazed his knee. Anne distracted him while his Mum used her first aid skills to clean up the wound. All ended well and the little boy enthusiastically completed the 2 kms. He did not get a PB (because of his injury) but there is always the next time...

6 children were given a milestone wristband for their brilliant distance achievements. It is quite impressive to realise that little boys/girls not 10 yet have run more parkrun than some of us!

It felt like spring and the children seemed to fly past the marshals. 21 got a PB!

James, now better his injury, had run 11 kms with Rich A before preparing the course with Rich and Victoria Davis. Anne had managed 5 kms. Lauren, our session photographer, is training for the Brighton 10 Kms with her friend Tanya who volunteered today too. Eddie ran after helping this 205th session.

This Wednesday we will meet at 6pm at the Run Company to go plogging with them. We hope to see you there as the saying goes: the more, the merrier!

Have a great running week.
