Charleys Creek parkrun

in TravelFeed2 months ago

We were touristing again visiting a new town and parkrun. Usually I really like to run or at worst walk a new parkrun location but early in the week I stained my ankle while running probably more overuse than a twist. I tried to take it easy from running throughout the week but just ended up doing more yard work with all the extra time and energy. So the ankle actually got worst rather than better. I live and I learn, sometimes the hard way.

So last minute I contacted the event director and was able to get the time keeper volunteer job. I don't get a run stat for my collection but still get a new location stat and a useful volunteer stat, I really need to get my 50 volies before my 500th parkrun.

Charleys creek parkrun is located in Chinchilla just under a 4 hour drive west of Brisbane 

I really wanted to run seeing all the course marking on the path.

Me telling the event director and finish token volunteer that I could have been first finisher if not for my ankle. Everyone is a winner at parkrun but there is still only one first finisher LOL

Keep left for this double out and back course. I am keen to get back there and run it one day.

The creek was not that inviting for a swim but nice for a morning parkrun.

Time for a photo or 2 between finishers, making sure not to touch or bump the phone which I need to only press once very time someone finishes the course.

A nice breakfast afterwards with the parkrunners, walkers and other volunteers at the local RSL club.

oh man.... thats a long way to drive just to hold a stopwatch! 😅

At least you still managed to tick off a new location, and that breakfast looks pretty tasty so I'm sure that makes up for some of it.

Wishing a speedy recovery for your ankle!
