Last Saturday, I was fortunate to be visiting Rockhampton Parkrun with my sister, right on the day that ‘The Professor’ (from Wynnum) ran his 250th parkrun. What an amazing achievement, and what an inspiration you are, Alan Burrell! One of my favourite aspects of participating in parkrun is the socialising/making friends. I was so…
