Woden Town Parkrun

SAT 28 MARCH 2026

PARK RUN

Congregated at Woden Town Parkrun to celebrate cousin Peter's 500th Parkrun. 

Pre race was a mini reunion and introducing Phoebe to various cousins and their siblings. I think we need to draw a family tree. Managed to catch up with cousin Carolyn for the first time in forever. We also caught up with [Henry's friend] Simon who we'd skied with in Japan

With the grammarians rowing club leading me in a charge to lose weight I figured time to renew the aerobic focus on park run.  

Living with the disappointment that the airline's don't allow me to bring Magnus meant that park run was, for me, dog free and the focus could be on running. 

Phoebe and I agreed that we'd run separately and each put the race plan focus in the way that works best for us. 

A quite picturesque course with greenery and a superb

Storm drain.

I managed to run the first half to the turn around at 2.5km and continue on with my first walk bit at around the 3.5km mark. The last k and half was very much walk run walk run. 

Both Phoebe and I finished with times we were happy with. 

I came in at 36:52 and Phoebe at 44.58. 

As Peter neared, we formed a tunnel to welcome him as he arrived at the finish line.
