We had a great run this morning in Ticehurst on an undulating ‘lollipop’ down to Bewl, organised by the fab team at 1066 Trail Races. We all managed to keep going on the hills and Frances took home the prize for First Lady!
Last week our super parkrun UK tourist Kay travelled north to Fountains Abbey, and met Vicky, a former W2R member and fellow ticker-offer of parkruns around the UK. We love the parkrun community! 🧡

Another fun session in our favourite-place-to-train-on-a-Friday-morning: Bedgebury Pinetum - Forestry England. We discovered the ‘puzzle frame’ on an adjoining trail (a workout for another day?!), then celebrated our birthday not-quite-twins Anne and Melissa with coffee and cake in the café! Yay, we love Friday Runfit!

Love a ‘storyboard’! And this one reveals the surprise of two of our lovely runners as they reached milestones… Amy celebrated 100 and, following a break from running, is close to completing the 0-30 (re)intro course! Lovely Sue was part of the Lockdown cohort and has gone onto be a regular ‘Tuesday girl’, running her 300th EP yesterday. Well done super girls!!! 🏅🏅

We love a milestone… and celebrated two this week! Congratulations to Claire on her 100th sesh at the KGV on Wednesday (a cheeky little 200m rep session!), and Tim on his 200th parkrun Bedgebury Pinetum parkrun this morning! Love the ‘unofficial’ tshirt (and glute stretch!!).

Several of the gang were super excited to be in the presence of parkrun UK King Paul Sinton-Hewitt who made a surprise visit to Bedgebury Pinetum parkrun yesterday! We love a parkrun pic… and it looks as though Paul does too!

So much to celebrate over the past couple of weeks! A Significant Birthday for our gorgeous Elaine; milestones for Sheila (100) and Glenda (200); ‘new’ grandparents (separately!) Steve and Sheila, plus our amazing running-girl Sara who ran The Serpent 20km Ultra, fabulous Julie who completed the Bewl 15 (well done to Lisa and Sharon who ran the 5); Suzi and Nic parkrunning in pink, and blue-sky evening runs through the corn (or is it wheat… or barley?!). Summer Running … having a blast!

We had a brilliant time at the Tonbridge Athletics Club Midsummer Relays on Wednesday. Competing against Club Runners, Corporates and social running clubs (like ourselves), we ran a tough course and loved the racing high and camaraderie!

Just love all these pics! A great morning at the Hawkhurst 5&10km on Sunday! We all made it safely round the course, loved all the marshals with their pom-poms and the residents who came out to support! Then made the most of the cakes, fruit, goodies and photo frames at the Finish! Some of us won spot-prizes too! We love this run… it’s Home Territory so Coach cracks her 3-line whip!! 😮🤭🤣
We’ll definitely be back next year!
Nice Work
