So it became clear this afternoon that Mark Zuckerberg won't be visiting Mr R anytime soon (now there's an opening to a report that I never thought I'd ever write...), as four cans of Guinness featured at the top of Mr R's list.

Tesco can sometimes be hit and miss when it comes to items on Mr R's list, but four cans of Ireland's finest were easily found.

Autumn is truly upon us judging by the chill in the air first thing this morning and the leaves on the ground, but that didn't deter 50 keen runners arriving at the Fields for another Sunday morning two lapper - including two first ever timers, 10 PBs, and some overseas visitors from Germany - quite a selection to cheer on.

As always our volunteer force were able to make it all happen successfully - so much thanks to Sarah, Hilary, Rue, Md for helping Run Director Nick navigate event #393 and keep it all on track.

Our first finisher today, a first time visitor, sped round in 8:13 and had quite a gap behind her as she crossed the line before our next group of lead runners came down the finish funnel, and after that it was the usual steady stream of slightly breathless smiling faces collecting a token before we got to the tail end of the pack who were clearly enjoying their morning run/walk in the sunshine.

Meet us under the Big Tree for more of the same next week.
