And boy did it rain. Three GoodGym stalwarts took to the verges and walkways to help out 58 runners and walkers in Southall Park this morning - a committed, yet damp, performance, some might say. And this was a special Parkrun for the more geek-minded of us out there - the 61st at Southall, a gran ole prime number. Tick that one off the challenge list, if you will.

Oh, did I mention it rained? Notwithstanding the technical difficulties this caused - high-viz jackets weighing down our marshal, wet smart screen phones playing havoc with bar code scanning - we refused to stand down until the 58th person had crossed the line. Then, and only then, did we go for coffee - a necessary Parkrun tradition to warm up again afterwards.
