A little road trip to Moors Valley parkrun today. It was an opportunity to say thank you for helping John in August.
Money had been raised by a variety of goodgymers, friends & family to buy a defibrillator for the parkrun kit. ❤️

It was a very cold but bright morning. Lots of layers required today. 🥶

The fun started with Val using a low ‘junior’ toilet 😂😂. Great way to do warm up squats? Vicki laughed so much she nearly needed it herself.

We were part of the 47 volunteers there today and it was route ‘B’ due to the weather conditions.

Aoife was a distracted timekeeper and an incredible photographer., Val was one of the organised funnel managers, Wilson celebrated everyone’s run by handing them a finish token (500 runners today) Katie & John had a great run and sorted the tokens in the warmth of the coffee shop. Vicki & Caroline had a social Park Walk role. Louisa, Benny & Pip were cheerleaders!

Just enough time to grab a hot drink afterwards before leaving the car park by 10.45am to avoid extra parking charges!

(Not put up lots of photos as a lot of other people in them today) 😃
