A tiny little bit awesome
For those readers that don't know about Parkrun here is a little background. Back in 2004 a runner who was nursing an injury decided to give a little back to his community by organising a timed run in his local park. He with 12 friends ran the very first Parkrun. Since then it has grown just a little. The current numbers for the total number of people who have completed a Parkrun are 1,354,849. Collectively we have covered over 64 million kilometers. Not bad for a free event. That picture on the left was taken on January 9th at Marlay Park Parkrun where I, pictured left, and my daughter on the right got to meet the man behind Parkrun Paul Sinton-Hewitt. It is a measure of Paul that when being interviewed later on RTE radio he was introduced as being effectively Parkrun. Paul immediately corrected the interviewer saying he wasn't Parkrun. The thousands of volunteers and participants are Parkrun. Parkrun Ambassadors from many Parkruns at Marlay with Paul Operation
