In midsummer I ran at Nonsuch
The heat made 5k nearly too much
I started to feel
Like my steering wheel
In a heatwave it's too hot to touch.

There was a date set in my diary
To do parkrun at Reigate Priory
A man dressed as a cow!
I wonder where he's now
Was he needed back at the dairy?

@RaceMatcher Thanks for your comment! As a runner who gets hayfever I couldn't resist including Beconase to end the limerick!

A sniffing runner with troubled airways
Ran at parkrun despite his malaise
His nose caused him some fuss
Nostrils full of mucus
He really needed some Beconase.

Part of the Alice Holt parkrun drill
Involves running up the 'drag-on-hill'
It wasn't very long
So its name is quite wrong
But this woodland course is really brill!

Today I had a sat nav mishap
But then was saved by a google map
Just in time for Cranleigh
Flat but also hilly
And a marshal with flag and cloth cap.

I did London Marathon 'MyWay'
It was a tough but fantastic day
Along the Thames towpath
Now I need a warm bath
To soak all the muscle pain away.

[Andrew Scott @revajscott]

Tomorrow I run a marathon
I have 'til midnight to get it done
London Marathon MyWay
Going to be a fun day
Raising some money for Lebanon.

My three hundredth was at Frimley Lodge
A parkrun course I'd call a hodgepodge
A miniature railway
A canal and cafe
And finally some tree roots to dodge.

The Plens parkrun includes "the Bowl"
Where the biting headwind did howl
Up twenty three small steps
Moving the quadriceps
Onwards and upwards towards the goal.

One's view of Ifield Mill pond depends
On whether one enjoys hairpin bends
I am glad I did learn
The "Japanese U-turn"
A pivot technique one recommends.

There was a small dog in a neck scarf
Who caused the crowd a bit of a laugh
He wore a parkrun snood
And looked a real posh dude
Which made all the rest look like riff rarff.

There was a loud woodpecker at Lloyd
Whose drumming sound I really enjoyed
Parkland to admire
The hill a quagmire
But yellow arrows were well deployed.

@wfclimericks A win at last against The Robins
With Jeremy finding the top-bins
Three points on Friday night
Makes the weekend alright
The play-off push now really begins.

[Andrew Scott @revajscott]

We did parkrun at Haldon Forest
Where the hills are some of the steepest
Rhododendron tunnel
To the finish funnel
One more done on my alphabet quest.

Parkrun is a fun run not a race
But I still like to run a swift pace
I admired the sheep
Over the mud they creep
Then noticed my very loose shoe lace.

Brooklands milestoners get a cape
Over their shoulders and necks to drape
Two hundred and ten more
Is what I'm running for
Five hundred bound and there's no escape.

@wfclimericks Defeat lowered my mood pretty quick
Until your poetic limerick
Captured my thoughts so well
The team just didn"t gel
But Javi's too good to leave The Vic.

Shoutouts to marshals Helen and Pete
Who heard hundreds of wet, pounding feet
Hi-vis volunteers
Watchful eyes and ears
At the heart of the parkrun drumbeat.

The big garden birdwatch is complete
Sadly this is today's only tweet
No feathery friends seen
What an hour it's been
All I've recorded is two cold feet.
