Thanks. RHR is 52 according to Garmostravabit. Just a bit higher than normal. I'll walk about this afternoon and see how I feel.

Ok let us know what’s close to you or halfway I like touring. Can’t keep up with where you are living now. I think it’s Midlands somewhere 😂

I would also have been more likely to spring for a volunteer t-shirt in a different colour from the running t-shirts. But it's not that important and I'll just keep trying to make sure my ratio of volunteerings to runnings is sufficient to make me feel as if I'm giving a little bit back. (eL Bee! volunteers all the time so as a household we do quite well.)

Bob!
I'd have preferred different colours also. I'm on r162 / v170, so I guess my green shirt is likely to be a v250. |

I've no opinion on the new t-shirts. Its going to be 4 - 5 years before I qualify for another one based on my 279 run : 27 volunteer ratio.

I know which shirt I’ll be getting next R134 vs V219 which doesn’t include a lot of the early ones when we never bothered recording volunteers |

My v50 arrived today. I wanted a new running tee anyway and my 50 runs is still a few months off. The joys of having been part of a core team for some time my vol to run ratio is all skewed 🙂

Is it a good idea to run with a bad cold? Even if it means going round slowly? Can't decide whether to bother tomorrow This is very unmedical, but I tend to go with the old adage which says something like: if it's above the neck, it's fine to run (assuming you feel like it!), if it's below the neck, don't run. |

Just heard the latest WMN podcast. Danny says people should stop moaning about the volunteer shirt colours, that having the same colours as the runs is more inclusive. I know he is very loyal to parkrun, but I disagree. How cool would it be in the volunteer shirts were a completely different colour, they would stand out and probably sell a few more. I assume that anyone running 25 times can now get a purple shirt, which to me is a shame. I always liked to see people on their purple v25 shirts and I think its the favourite one in my collection. |
