Well done to Natasha and Jane who ran the Richmond Old Deer Park half marathon with me!
It was a hard race starting with multiple loop backs in the park followed by a very muddy towpath and road running…and then we had to do it all over again as the race was done in two laps!
But we were rewarded with a really nice medal and a sense of achievement. Natasha and Jane are the first Common Runners to complete a half marathon – well done ladies!

Some new and seasoned Common Runners enjoyed the 5k & 10k Capital Runners Bushy Park Race on Sunday 28 June.
The route was flat and partly shaded, which was very important as it was a humid day! Four ran the 10k in under one hour and one runner completed the 5k in under 30 minutes! Well done to Alethea, Emma, Michelle, Siri & husband.
At the end of every term we enter a local race and this term it’s the Capital Runners Bushy Park 5k/10k race on the 28th June.
So far we have 8 runners signed up for the race – please let us know if you would like to join us. A picnic will follow after the race – husbands and children are very welcome!

Hope to see you there!
By running this year’s Brighton Marathon on 12 April, I’ve managed to raise £1,485 for South London Younger Parkinson’s Network!
So a big thank you to all my friends who sponsored me. And a special thank you from Sarah, an ex-BG mum who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 40, who helped set up the South London Younger Parkinson’s Network.
