      Thank you! Ralph is in my running club so we're lucky and get to see him joggling around Leeds a fair bit 😃🤹‍♂️ I've never seen anyone run ridiculously fast while joggling though?! It's such a skill! I was impressed when Ralph was running round a corner, juggling AND noticed, and thanked, the marshal! Incredible from both of them 🤹‍♂️🤹‍♂️

    Thanks Nicola. What a beautiful park. Haven't got round to running this ParkRun yet but I will do on my next free Saturday.
    Congratulations on ParkRun 550. Absolutely incredible. I was wondering how many you'd done and now I know. Ashamed to say I did my 50th last week. 😆
    Event director 'marathon' Sam. She does so much for the local community. She's an absolute superstar. Massive well done to her and the team for getting the event on and keeping everybody dry.
    Joggler Chris is a brilliant runner and a multi-marathoner. I see him at lots of events. Crazy but awesome.
    It's a shame you didn't have time to show us around the mill. I've always wondered what it's like in there.
    Ps. When Saltaire was build, Sir Titus included schools, work places, housing and a church, but pubs were completely banned.
    Nowadays there is a brilliantly named pub called ....... Don't tell Titus. 😆

Chris and his joggling blew me away! SOOOOOOOOOO fast! 😱 Congratulations on your 50... Be proud not ashamed! 🎉🎉🎉
