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.

Glenrich st house warming
Fun flash back to my previous house as Phoebe Antonieff Mitchell and myself were invited to the new people's house warming.
Fun sunrise was seeing others I knew and also seeing lots of unknowns from their other parts of life.
Saw : Rob D, Chris, Robyn, Tom.

Fri - First aid
Work paid for any staff who wanted to do first aid to do a course. I went with Jesse and Jeremy on Friday.
Last time I'd done a St John's course was (I think) about 30 years ago with the church and possibly at West end and took two days. My memories was it was really dragged out with lots of war stories and pictures of gore. So I'd avoided st John because others did one day courses.
This course was back to one day. One thing I liked was all the getting up and putting on bandages or practising CPR. Even though it was an effort to get up it did on the whole keep me awake.
CPR
30 compressions 2 breaths.
120bpm
To the beat of "Stayin alive"
