coffee first thing . . "when the big hand gets to the top . . " . . so angelic I was almost expecting carols . .

hey this looks like a great way to warm up . .

Link All Stars team outing to Bedfont Lakes . .

those older muscles need some stretching . . whilst the younger ones just relax . .

muddy shoes . . new shoes . . forgot to get an "after" photo of the later . .

getting down to race kit came as a shock to one or two when they felt the cold, but smiles soon returned . .

Sharon gives out the Parish Notices . . Helen presents Martin with his 100 Club parkrun Jacket (great achievement Martin!) and Sarah announces the madness and mayhem that will ensue next week when we will be staging a parkrun with a difference!!

and here's the audience . . coiled springs . . ready to parkrun . .

and as soon as Sharon start the race they're off for their two laps of lovely Bedfont Lakes Country Park

 some four legged friends were out and about . .

and despite the rain which came down the volunteers were out there, smiling, and ensuring that everything was in place for the runners . .

a most important volunteer point is here, making sure nobody takes a short cut to the finish . .

and at the finish area, post race registration runs smoothly . .

whilst the runners relax with a natter, or a moment of reflection . .

new nails holding tight to the flyer about next week's fun . .

and then another run is over and it's time to go home . .

unless you have to go to Race Director Skool with Headmistress Heather . .

I thought this was a still life but was politely advised that as there's neither a runner nor a duck in it, it's just not a very good photo . . but I guess that was because I'd been less than complimentary about the girlie blue and yellow phone . . the chocolate cupcake was just gorgeous however . .

and finally, a few views across one of the lakes, apart from the second one from almost the same location, showing the contrasting weather we had to contend with in the 30-40 minutes we were out there . .
