Here are before and after photos of our parkrun in Shanghai’s Century Park last Saturday. It was 35 degrees and for some stupid reason we ended up going out at 1pm. Chris, our host in Shanghai, was persuaded to join me, and that meant that Mr Beet was socially obliged to join in on his first international parkrun so far. Hooray!
We were the only runners in the park and were the object of some curiosity and amusement to the other park users.
I can’t access facebook in China, so if a parkrunner is reading this, perhaps you would be good enough to stick the photo of Mr Beet and me on the Greenwich parkrun facebook page. Otherwise people will think I’ve been skiving.


I am pleased to see the spirit of park run is going well. Not sure about the photos but I will find someone who does.
Happy running,
In which Mr Beet turns into Chris over the length of the park run. Chris! It’s Chris! Hello Chris!
