Thirteen Parkrunners at five venues.
Starting at Street, Richard donned some interesting head gear for his 50th celebrations. Richard has run 37 of the 50 at Street.
He has tried 8 other venues and marshalled 4 times. Martin was also running here this week. Sunshine too.
Our only PB was achieved by Amanda P at Monty; a substantial 17 seconds quicker than her previous PB set in October. Sue &
Amanda B also spotted at Monty.
Maggie tried and enjoyed the newish Old Showfield course, Frome. This was Maggie's 49th Parkrun. She tells me her 50th is
going to be at Montacute next week (Saturday 14th December). It would be lovely if she had some support for this milestone.
My daughter, Sam, was a First Timer at Clevedon's 11th event. She said it was a nice route, two flat laps starting near the
swimming lake and heading twice towards the pier.
The majority of our Parkrun turn out was at Longrun. A little drier under foot this week. Nicky and Grahame topping our table,
with Hazel, Cathy (no Paul) and Dave G also there. Mike was there completing his 99th Parkrun. His 100th will be at Street on
Saturday 21st December at Street.

Also at Street on the 21st December is another chance to run with your dog at their second "Barkrun". Barney the dog has
invited his friends to join him:
"Barkrun is BACK! Once again hosted by your wonderful canine run director, me (Barney Dorber).
Come and join us, bring your dogs, your festive outfits, poo bags and lots of treats (for me).
As with last time, the wonderful humans at Crispin and Strode are allowing us to do this, so let's not let them down.
Follow these simple rules -
- If I poop, you scoop
- One doggo per human
- It's not a canicross race, it's a festive fun run so enjoy it, don't be sprinting around knocking people over!
- REMIND ME WHENEVER POSSIBLE THAT I AM A GOOD BOY
Hope to see you there!
Barney (woof.)"
