Thanks to all the volunteers who, at Southsea included Katherine Newell, Kevin Friery, Liam John Bradshaw and Catherine Redmond.

Don't forget it's my 60th birthday parkrun at Southsea on 17th August at Southsea. It is my first run in the M60-64 age-group!!!! OMG that feels old! I will probably be recovering from my party so won't be too fast?  Cake will be provided and I will be going into the Deep Blue on the Pier after for sustenance.
