Judging by Newcastle parkrun’s record attendance at the weekend, it appears quite a few people have made running on a Saturday morning their New Year’s resolution for 2013, so I wish them all the best for seeing it through the entire year.
Tyne Bridge had 21 members taking part at Newcastle (out of 403 runners), and perfect conditions made for some fantastic performances, with nine members recording a PB. Congratulations to each and every one.
Next week’s Newcastle parkrun is a paced event, with volunteers looking to help runners achieve the following times; 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 27, 30 & 35 minutes.
Elsewhere around the region, Natalie Batey was first female finisher at Gateshead parkrun, with a PB of 21:04, and Catherine Willis also recorded a PB at Whitley Bay parkrun. Congratulations ladies.
