I'll hijack this thread with a little advert for parkrun.
In fact it is Liverpool's first ever parkrun!
Our first event will be held in Princes Park on Saturday (26th) starting at 9 a.m. - aim to get there for 8:45. We are meeting in the middle of the park by the green fitness gym.
It's free. It's every Saturday. All you need to do is register, print out your barcode and bring it along every time you run. The run is timed and your results are kept on the parkrun website for you to follow your progress.

Russell - I've dropped loads of hints to a workmate about Bolton's parkrun. Will have to look at the l'pool one for me.
All - I remember that Alan did a breakdown of the costs for a race a couple of years ago. The usual stuff stewarding, police costs, road closures, goodie bags, timing, medics etc etc. Made you really think about the costs involved. It might be worth him re-publishing the figures. In fact it may even have been as a result of me complaining about the cost of a race that he posted in the first place.
Alan, I would say just ignore the complainers but I know from past experience that you don't, but in a positive way. If they raise an issue that needs to be addressed you will do it. Thats why I know the marathon is in good hands.
Hmmm Does that make me sound like a creep????.
Russell, it looks fab and very well done for getting it off the ground. Sadly, it's just a little bit too far away for me to pop along
The only problem with posting the cost breakdown here is that we all know what a great job Alan, and Yvonne do, and they don't need to justify it to us. The one's moaning about price and such don't look here, in fact the people who do the moaning generally don't look anywhere and just spout out stuff with no basis whatsoever.
Morning lfc. How's the man flu today?
Look froward to seeing you there Beer and Lard!
It will be great to see you Alan! Hopefully we will be able to send lots of runners your way in the future!
Don't worry Redhead. You have a good excuse not to come! 17 days until Brighton!
I'm really looking forward to watching the Liverpool Half on Sunday. I'm planning on watching the runners at Parliament Street and then (via McDonalds) at the finish. Loads of Penny Lane runners will be there!
Russell - Work commitments permitting, I should be there on Saturday.
I think we should get that lovely wife of yours running, never mind you! She keeps telling me she can't. I don't believe her!
Morning guys. This morning I have "almost" two sides of my face working together! See ya, Bell's palsy - it was not fun while it lasted.
Good news, LB
Russell - congratulations on getting the Parkrun sorted. My marathon training plan includes a 5K every few weeks, so I'll be bobbing along too
I'll be spreading the word for you.
Hope you can make it LFC. Make sure you come and say hello. Oh and register on the parkrun website and bring along your barcode.
What has happend to your face LB?
lfc, we'll have no talk of buggery on here young man!
Cake dear, you really need to work on your chat-up line
Russell, good luck with your inaugural parkrun.
No running for me today. Not even much at the weekend as it's taper time
Edited to say that by 'not even much' I've got 5 on Saturday then 13 on Sunday as I realise that everything is relative!
Hellooo! Is that better, Alan?
Has anyone else found they've had a week of interupted sleep due to nerves & excitement, or just me? Don't feel nervous today, getting really excited now. Have been up since 4.45am tho'. Doh! Plan for today & tomorrow is to top up the sleep tanks and eat well.
OH assures me that he'll guarantee the alarm clock(s) are sorted, so I don't need to fret about Clock Change Chaos.
Sleep deprivation must be getting to me. Sorry, wittering on about the Half on this thread. Doh, again!
Hope I'm not about to be told off
Morning all.
LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Off to B&Q to buy some bamboo poles for the Penny Lane Striders flag! I can't wait to watch the half! A weekend of running activities awaits!
Good luck Alan!!! And.. all the best for everyone running!!
JMurpski, which marathon are you leading up to?
IL, you are allowed to talk about the 1/2 on here - I'm excited for you
Alan, hope you're enjoying your time at the start. Where does it start from btw?
I've got nooooo running shoes and they are purple and silver. It doesn't get much better than that in redheadland as purple is my favourite colour.
Have a lovely weekend everyone
mm love the smell of new shoes!
Just back from B&Q with new flag poles!
I wonder what Alan is doing at the start line?
