NAC are nothing but a ‘Blur’ at Parkrun!

A tragic rewrite by Bogusboy!

Racing is a preference for the habitual participation of what is known as ‘Parkrun’ and Saturday morning sleep can be avoided if you take the route straight to what is known as ‘Parkrun’ 
The Prophet’s got builder’s tay; he gets intimidated by the clean kettle. He loves a bit of ‘Parkrun’.
Who’s that skinny landlord galloping; you have cut down on your pork-life mate; you’ve got some serious ‘Parkrun’ lately
All the athletes, so many athletes, they all run in single file, in single file through their…’Parkrun’. Know what I mean?
We get up when we want except on Saturdays when we get rudely awakened by the horn papping for ‘Parkrun’.
I put my compression socks on, have a brace of Weetabix and I think about completing my ‘Parkrun’.
I feed the cattle I sometimes milk the cows too; it gives me a sense of enormous readiness and becomes my warm-up.
At 9:50am I become happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to ‘Parkrun’
It’s got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know (though we did travel to ‘Parkrun’ in a Volkswagon!)
And today, it’s all about us runners who go round and round and round until we hand our barcode over and get the lemon drizzle cake!

Well done to the six Newcastle athletes who travelled to Victoria Park to support the 229th Parkrun at that venue.  On a wet and windy morning all 6 recorded Parkrun PBs.  Our thanks to the race officials, marshals and hospitality team who made this a great event. This course is the venue of the forthcoming NI Road Relay Championships on Saturday 3 October and the loquacious Chris ‘Buffer’ Kelly provided great insight to his club mates when he described the course as ‘fast’! We now have plenty to go on!
