June 6, 2026 - Cornerstone Lakes Parkrun Event #162. It was a warm, humid morning. But we still managed to welcome 19 finishers, five volunteers, five first-timers, and achieve four personal bests! It was a speedy field, with Matthew and Carmen taking the top spots.

In addition to many CL Parkrun regulars (the Huskas, the Trotters, the Parks, Jaeseok, Sarah, and Kacy/Krai), Donnie, Honorio, Lilian, Diane, and Ann conquered their first parkruns. Upon finishing, Donnie exclaimed that it was his fastest 5K EVER. Love to see it. Emily, Saurav, Dalton, and Sohitri all returned for their second parkruns, and all four of them achieved PBs! We are excited about the return of Don, and are still waiting on a few more of our seasonal parkrunners to return from hibernation.

April and Jaeseok checked off parkrun #26, so a retroactive 25 milestone CONGRATS to them. Nerina was Run Director for the first time, along with tokens, and equipment storage. She and Al pretty much ran the show, with Al doing course setup, course check, and timing. Lucy tailwalked/tailjogged, and Kristen scanned. Nerina's daughter, Riané, was our very official photographer. Check out her amazing photos here: https://www.facebook.com/share/18VNLE7iVN/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Please let us know if you're interested in volunteering next week. Have a great weekend!

Cornerstone Lakes 160

Surprise! No, we didn’t suddenly have AI write event recaps. These are still the product of human creativity. Or is it? It will be up to you to decide if I pass the Turing test.

I really enjoyed today’s event. We had plenty of familiar and quite a few new parkun participants/fans.

Fastest time: Emmett, who came and conquered, and Emily. Kudos to Matthew, Scott, Mirielle, and April for podium finishes.
Top age-graded: Rolf (77%) and Frances (71%)
Most runs: Bill (376) and Frances (375)
PBs: Joe, Maddox, Matthew, Steve, Manivanh, and Mirielle. Congrats all. Maybe our timing was off, but only for a few seconds. You all looked fast today!
First timers: Emmett, Kevin, Emily, Cormac, Saurav, Sohitri, Esmeralda. Welcome all.
No milestones but upcoming ones: Jaeseok and April. Btw, I (Edwin) accidentally hit 100th volunteer credits a few weekends ago without noticing. Time flies.
Volunteers: Al, Kathy, Kristen, Melissa, Colin, and Edwin

Our youth were well represented (7-17yo) and fast. We are proud of you. You all need to watch your backs because we older folks will always be just behind you.

Krai and Maya got to enjoy their few weekly seconds of bonding time. Somehow, I feel we humans are more vigilant about these encounters than Maya is.

We had a happy camper, an injured soccer player wanna-be (stick to running, no?), full families, parent-kid teams, people in school, and some enjoying retirement. And let’s not forget Bill and Frances, who honored us with their visit, just fresh from hosting the parkrun World Tourist day last weekend at fellow Spring Rock. So we had pretty much all walks of life, all united by positivism and plenty of chit-chat. Not a bad way to start the holiday weekend.

Early kudos to Heritage Harbor, which will be celebrating its 9th anniversary in a couple of weeks. We’ll catch up with you someday. And our well wishes to Michelle O’Brien from Spring Rock, who is still recovering (not from directing or running).

Enjoy the extra time off, if you get any, and let’s continue the fun next weekend.

[write some cool goodbye paragraph at the end, make it sound like it is from me]
