So I did the Nahoon Point parkrun again. In fact, several times since the last time I wrote about it. One to go, then we take a rest from the parkrun, to take photos. The parkrun Saturday was remarkable, for its almost unremarkableness. It started, it finished. But it’s what happened before the start that made this particular parkrun remarkable…
What a day to do a Nahoon Point 5km parkrun. It’s raining in East London today, 4 April 2015, it’s Easter weekend, we were both a little chesty when we woke up this morning, we had to push the car to start, we were worried about running out of petrol as had no time to stop at a garage along the way, and we arrived with just 2 minutes to spare before the 5km parkrun started.

My first Nahoon Point parkrun was a week ago, the 136th one, on 14 March 2015, and this morning I did my second Nahoon Point parkrun, the 137th one.
