Wythenshawe's waterlogged surfaces resulted in a cancellation there (you'll note from the previous entry in this blog that it has been raining), so a WhatsApp group sprung into life, resulting in an invasion of tourists from Wythenshawe at Woodbank parkrun in Stockport.
Woodbank never seems to cancel. Sue and I have been there before on a flat 'frost' course, but today it wasn't frosty and we got our first taste of the legendary hill that makes this 5km course a relatively slow one.
Our results are shown here, with Laura heading our contingent and being the second woman to finish. She's running well at present. She was not so closely followed by her dad, with Jan next of our contingent, followed home by me and Sue.
Ron had kindly volunteered to run with Owen, and whilst Owen's mum looked on, the rest of us joined them for their last lap of the three lap circuit. So five of us did four laps.
This was as much a social gathering as a running one, and we spent well over an hour in the nearby café before making our ways home. In fact, the efficient Run Director had processed the results well before we left the café. Well done him, and thanks as always to the volunteers who made the run possible.
