[@NickyJones99]

A great record of the day, with the highs and lows. 💛

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you 🤗 overall it was an awesome day/weekend despite the crap bits 🙃

[@lukedaniel7669]

Great record of the day and all its ups and downs, thank you! You'll have to come back sometime so Poppy can finish the course :)

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks 🤗 Poor old Poppy. At least she volunteered so she has a record of being there! Wonder if she'd want to do it or whether she'd be worried?! 🙃

[@helenpr5263]

You would never guess that you are in Birmingham, a massive city!

[@NicolaRuns]

Exactly this, such a beautiful space! 😍

[@gypsymuffinABZ]

Brilliant video! Those stuffed animals made out of olds bibs are amazing! The people that make them are so talented! I hope poppy is okay & That sucks what happened to Danny.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you 🤗 yes aren't they amazing?! I can just about sew up a hole in something, these are next level! 😍😍😍

Great to see you having a good time despite the two obvious clouds over the weekend 💛

[@NicolaRuns]

There was definitely more good than bad 🤗

[@beverlygow6757]

Nicely captured.I can't wait for the next pow

[@NicolaRuns]

Why thank you 🥰 thanks for being such an ace human and sorry for sticking your mouth together 🤣

[@emmarunyeard6832]

What a lovely bunch of people xxx

[@NicolaRuns]

Totally! I feel so very lucky to be part of this incredible community 🥰

[@a97antonio]

Just catching up on this, memories of a great day. Funny seeing my boy getting in lots of the shots, not so good seeing me lumbering around behind him. Probably good to get prepared for when he's faster than me anyway. Looking forward to the next one, parkfaff in the pub looks amazing!

[@NicolaRuns]

Lol, yes we shall definitely be left behind them one day. Best we get prepared! 🙃😃

[@barnabynorman157]

A perfect record of a wonderful day(s)! Thank you Nic for doing it and recording the moment xxx 💛

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you for the wonderful photos. Awesome memories of the day 😍 Xx

[@BenTimmoRuns]

Loved this, such a nice record of the day. Both kids enjoyed trying to spot themselves too! 😆

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay! That's a fun game 😃 pleased you had fun watching 🤗

[@tonihowells1542]

Brilliant thank you Nicola, that brought everything back 🧡

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Toni, pleased you enjoyed it 🤗

[@JasonCliftJones]

9:07 - "Any questions" - We were about 5-10 seconds too slow to think to ask "Dolly or Bev?", then Emma didn't ask in the RD's brief, shucks! Was great to meet people though, def :) 24:54 - "Oh, you're filming, I'll get out of the way" XD

[@NicolaRuns]

Dolly or Bev would have been funny 🤣

[@helenpr5263]

Yay I made it on to your pow wow vlog

[@helenpr5263]

and I can see Andy running

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay! 😃😃😃 Hope you enjoyed it ☺️

[@AllardsLovechild]

Alexander wanted me to skip to the very end to see if he was on there. He was delighted to see he was! 😂

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay! He certainly was! I tried leaving it in at the chronological place but it didn't work. I tried it at the end and it was PERFECT! 🥰

[@Thommo27153]

So nice to see it all happening as I couldn’t make it. I did run the course as a freedom run the day before the Oaklands pow wow and yes, it was difficult to know exactly where the turns were! Thanks Nicola.

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Brian, pleased you enjoyed it 🤗

[@karenspackman1960]

I’ve loved watching this, I can’t believe you recorded so much content during the ups and downs of the weekend. I’ve loved spotting friends and Madge, and trying to match names to faces. Thank you for making such a fabulous recording of such a special day 💛

[@NicolaRuns]

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it Karen 🥰😃💛

[@davesowerby]

Oh my goodness, this is so emotional reliving the pow wow - thank you for putting this all together! Definitely needed to be reminded of the joy of the weekend today :) Really is more than a cult... I mean pod! :D

[@NicolaRuns]

🤣 #notacult 😜 I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video. It really was a great weekend 🥰😃

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Poor poppy, what impressive knee ouchies xxx

[@NicolaRuns]

I know right?! Poor Poppy. I was so gutted for her! 💔

[@tirzah1978]

Absolutely loved this. You encapsulated every wonderful moment, can’t wait for the next one! Once again the awesomeness of the WMN community is clear to see. Still gutted for Danny having all his stuff nicked but glad he was able to enjoy the day as best as he could. Thanks for all you guys do 💛💛

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you for this lovely comment 🤗 still can't believe what happened to Danny 💔 but I was ridiculously impressed by how he handled himself. Thanks for coming and making the day what it was! 💛

[@anitaplatt1248]

Loved watching this & well done for filming during all the ups & downs of the day. I had such FOMO at the time but watching the vlog now just made me smile 😀

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you, I was worried about how it would come across as I didn't film as much and in the same way that I was planning to so I was happy that I'd filmed enough to make a vlog that showed the day 😊 I'm pleased it made you smile. 😃

[@FrugalMrB]

Good to finally put a face to Danny’s podcast voice (I say finally, but I’m watching this video 2 years late!) I hope to be able to join one of your meet-ups one day 😊

[@NicolaRuns]

This was such a fun day! Definitely hope there's another one 😃

[@tonyreeves5083]

This looked like a cracking day (with the obvious exceptions) and blimey you lot had a great time! We had FOMO after last year’s pow wow but couldn’t come this year as we had a concert in St Ives the same day. Next year!

[@NicolaRuns]

Nooooooo I hate it when things clash! Here's to hoping next year's is on a totally free weekend 😃🤞

[@tonyreeves5083]

@@NicolaRuns Definitely need to plan the diary better! Mind you as a section lead, I kind of HAVE to be there... Bless Poppy too - what a trooper.

[@andybrook9518]

This looked brilliant. Definitely the same sort of vibes as Cowfest. Would love you both to organise another in the future and I'll definitely try and make it.

[@NicolaRuns]

Fingers crossed we do another, it was so much fun! I've never been to cowfest! 🙃

[@Scott-fi6ml]

Love the person who was up doing the sign language. That has got to be a first but a good first.

[@NicolaRuns]

Definitely not a first but you're right that it's great. Certain parkruns have their run briefing signed every week... Huddersfield parkrun for example. Hopefully more parkruns will start to do the same 😃

[@Scott-fi6ml]

@@NicolaRuns same here. As the 3 parkruns I been to never ever have that as a option

[@samspade2399]

Poppy was so good encouraging mum to finish the run 😁 What happened to the hi-viz animals are they dispersed out on tour?

[@NicolaRuns]

We collected them for a photo but most belong to people already. Then 3 got given out to people on the day. They're all just travelling around parkrunworld 😍

[@AllardsLovechild]

Hurrah!

[@NicolaRuns]

That's a good sound! 😃

[@Mookiethedog]

OUCH! Kudos to Poppy for being a tough girl! I know I would have made a really big deal about it. Haha! The best was her wanting you to get in your ParkRun! You two are a great team!

[@NicolaRuns]

Isn't she just awesome! I may be biased but 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👩‍👧

[@richsullivan1950]

Hope Poppy's knees are OK. Like and subscribe!!! had me chuckling

[@NicolaRuns]

Literally adorable isn't it. I smiled every time I got to that bit in the edit 🤗

[@dannynorman4717]

Highest attendance outside of a NYDD! #1

[@NicolaRuns]

Yay! Certainly was 😃

[@seanwhite2028]

Enjoyed the Video, I may go and run this Park run this weekend looks a nice course. Any tips on the best Park Run in the west midlands Area?

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks 🙂 totally depends what you like as there is no actual best, it's super subjective. I love Kingsbury Water parkrun as I love running near water but there are loads of awesome parkruns around... It's more about finding one that ticks your boxes 🙃

[@jameshickey100]

This sound a fun park run and I hope danny was okay 👌

[@NicolaRuns]

Yeah, thanks... A tough weekend but at least it was just stuff. Nobody was physically hurt at least ☺️

[@jameshickey100]

@@NicolaRuns I hope one day in the future you come to the coast of Essex mersea island park run I will introduce to my park runner friends to you nicola .

[@NicolaRuns]

@@jameshickey100 ooh I love a parkrun by the coast 😃🏃‍♀️

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Alex is wonderful.. Like and subscribe x

[@NicolaRuns]

I laughed so much at that! Especially his delight at it 🥰 what a superstar! He asked if he'd be on the video and I wasn't sure that I'd filmed him so I said he could be in it if he wanted to ❤️

[@mattgarner2414]

Slightly mortifying to see myself trotting like a portly T Rex, but a lovely video otherwise! 😬

[@NicolaRuns]

Lol... That's not at all what you look like but the imagery made me laugh a lot 😂😂😂
