This morning James and Adam met early in the morning, along with Rich from No Sweat Running Community and also Rebekah from Woking AC and did a 10 mile easy pace run prior to arriving in the park to do the setup for Junior Parkrun.

Easy pace running is subjective of course, and I for one found it a little hard after yesterday's XC Surrey League race.

On arrival, Rich did the course check, while me and Adam started setting up the course. Rich joined in after a few mins.

As Run Director this week, I was pleased to see that everyone turned up to help including GoodGym regulars Rich and Victoria with their son Gabriel. Victoria also brought in extra reinforcement by way of her father visiting all the way from Canada. The Davis family really are a great asset to GoodGym and Parkrun.

This morning 80 children turned up to run and hop the course. It is a little too soon to talk about Easter with Christmas still to come, but the children were not the only ones hopping around this morning. Just prior to the start, one of the Mums came to tell me that there was a domestic rabbit hopping around in the ladies toilets.

Jenny and her daughters went to verify the story and make sure everything was okay, and there was indeed a rabbit in the toilet block! 🐇.

With regards the run, lots of fun was had by all, with no incidents, and one of the other Mums took the rabbit to a vets on their way home afterwards.

Huge thanks to all the volunteers, and see you next week.
