| George Taylor on his way to a sub 17min 5k |
I’d been feeling under the weather for a few days and awoke during Friday night with a fever, so I wisely decided not to race in today’s Glasgow parkrun. I still participated though, marshalling and supporting at the bottom of the glade and taking a few photos too. A bit disappointed with some of the photos but my priorities were on marshaling and supporting.

| Volunteers make it happen at parkrun |
A great sub 17 minute time saw, Giffnock’s running dentist, George Taylor, winning for the first time since his maiden run back in January 2009. The suntanned veteran 45+ completed the two lap 5k course in a PB of 16:56; a non bar coder placed second and last week’s winner Andy McGhee of Kilmarnock Harriers earned third spot with a time of 17:20.
Forty nine year old Pam McKay, making her parkrun debut, won the women’s event, placing first with a time of 20:34, twenty seconds ahead of, newly announced Scotland Cross Country representative, Shona Donnelly. Edinburgh athlete, Suzanne McMahon marked her tenth parkrun by earning third place with a time of 21:13.
Another tremendous turnout saw some 286 runners taken part in the early morning sunshine.
