OldRunnerGuy Apr 2021 6:20am, 23 Apr 2021 First-time poster!!	0 OldRunnerGuy Hello Fetchies. Just registered but have been browsing and enjoying the forum for a while. Found this place about six or seven years ago, when I was googling how to run a sub 18 5K and stumbled on that thread. I did actually register a few years ago but kept on alurking. Then Fetch sent me a polite email asking if I’d really meant it when I joined, as I’d done f-all on the site. Enjoy reading the posts here because, aside from the running stuff, originally from N.Ireland and living in US, so many of the threads and personalities here give me a little connection to back home. I’m an older runner, 53. My proudest running moment was getting my 100th parkrun in, shortly before the plague hit. Anyway, just saying hullo! Phil

It seems a bit odd to say ‘welcome’ when you have been around for so long so I suppose ‘welcome to posting stuff’ would be more appropriate. What is the situation with parkrun there at the moment? Has it started up again, or is there a date in mind for the restart?

OldRunnerGuy Apr 2021 6:44am, 23 Apr 2021 2 posts	0 OldRunnerGuy Thanks for the welcomes! HF, no word at all on Parkrun USA starting up again yet. Living in North Carolina. Sushi. My local parkrun is Durham (no 11th century cathedrals but we were the second parkrun founded in US!)
