Warning!
Avoid your local parkrun if you do not wish to experience fun, friendship and massive encouragement for all, whether fast or slow.

I once asked my next-door neighbour how his wife was doing as I hadn't seen her around for a while. Turns out she'd died 11 years previously.

When I want my husband to pay attention to something I think is important, I look on my phone and pretend Mark Hamill posted about it. Since my husband doesn't do the social media thing, it's pretty easy to get away with it.

My brother and his wife just separated. I wish they'd done it a month ago so I wouldn't have to have bought her a birthday present.

Delighted with a top 10 placing at the World Master Athletics Championships in Torun, Poland in age 75+ discus throw. As this may be my only "one brief shining moment", I wish to thank those who helped me to achieve my "impossible dream". @griffeenparkrun @parkrunIE

We know that many keen parkrunners are willing to run in difficult weather conditions. But there is a crucial difference between "difficult" and "dangerous". And the safety of all parkrunners must always take precedence. @parkrunIE

Delighted to be completing my 300th parkrun on New Year's Day at Griffeen Valley Park, my home venue for 274 runs. Slowing down but hanging in there!
(And yes, there's cake in Starbucks afterwards) #loveparkrun @griffeenparkrun @parkrunIE

I wrote this before Covid 19 brought isolation, illness and death to us. Our mental health is strengthened by us “being there” for each other. If you need help, reach out to family or friends. We may have to be apart at this time but we need not be alone.

9 months ago, a worn out hip joint brought my @parkrunIE journey to a halt.
This Saturday, with a new bionic hip and two new lens implants in my eyes, I am returning to @griffeenparkrun for my 277th parkrun. #thefightbackbegins #dontstopmenow #loveparkrun

@omurchud @irishathletics Well done, Daithi!
