A misty morning marshal at Wimpole Estate parkrun

Since I'm doing a half marathon tomorrow I decided to volunteer at parkrun this morning, rather than running. Cambridge was very foggy when I set off, but by the time I got to Wimpole it was misty but brighter (apparently in Royston it had been completely clear all morning!). My marshal point was quite close to the start, so the field came through almost in one long line. There were 404 runners today, the most ever apart from the Christmas Eve run last year. By the time I made it back to the finish the sun was out and it was warming up nicely. I always enjoy marshalling at Wimpole, it's very picturesque and great to have a chance to cheer on all the runners, from the leader to the tail runner.
