Newcastle parkrun 18/08/12

A 300 plus strong field gathered on the moor this morning as the sun came out just before 9am for a very warm and humid parkrun. Ian Hudspith of Morpeth Harriers, making a rare appearance, stormed in in first place with a time of 15:25, looking almost effortless. Further down the field, in the realm of us mere mortals, Matthew Kingston recorded a new personal best breaking 19 minutes for the first time. Steve Harknett, returning to toon after more than a year away in more tropical climes, must have felt at home in today’s conditions. Just one run away from that 50 t-shirt, don’t go back just yet Steve!
