17 August parkrun report
30 Striders were present at a bright and breezy barrage on Saturday - where conditions were very much to the liking of Karen Clarke and Sarah Griffiths. Both ladies running all-course personal best times. Splendid! Kay Stokes was 3rd lady finisher and I notched 3rd for the men. Suzanne B, Colin F, Sarah G, Beverley H, Neil M, Gavin M, Elizabeth M and Claire T were the Striders among the volunteers. Throughout the run I heard encouraging comments from marshals and fellow club members. At the finish, Julia, on barcode scanning, was there with a smile and a "well done". These small acts of kindness are very much appreciated and make the event what it is. On a slightly more downbeat note Dave Fender once again failed his fitness test…
