Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

All this stats talk has made me look at mine and I'm glad I did, because it turns out tomorrow will be my 150th parkrun. I know it isn't an official milestone, but it does mean (obviously ;-) ) that I will have parkrun 750km, which somehow does feel like a bit of a milestone :-)

96 recorded volunteer stints so far, and only one of those was a running one (pacer.)

I shall be quite pleased to get to 100 recorded volunteer sessions but with a hectic few months ahead with other stuff going on it'll not be happening for a while.

Yes HG, that is social, but thats not why I go to Parkrun, its an added bonus, like meeting with Will tomorrow. I was going anyway to aim for a time. I suppose if I hadnt been planning to go and I heard Will was, then I have a dilemma, do I build it in purely for the social aspect.

Just hope that I can work out Edinburgh buses in the morning Baz, thank goodness for the extra half hour!

Nothing better than meeting up with some randoms off the internet and smashing yourself to pieces on a Saturday morning, when in a city that you don't know at all for a wedding :-)

Stockbridge, so all good for the 41 Baz! I'd be up for running there but fear my 14 year old daughter would rebel

I work and ran through Stockbridge a wee while ago !

The 41 seems to arrive at Cramond about 9am and I see it there when I am approaching. Its probably a 4 mile run from there to the start so a bit far
