Up to this point, he had not stopped talking (_not really unusual for George, I guess_), but as soon as we rounded the last bend before the halfway point, George got very shy and quiet and wouldn't say hello to the marshall :disappointed:. Instead, he turned on his heel and started back whilst retrieving his sweet from his pocket. Once we were going again, George resumed his chatter exactly where he left off!

The second half was a little more difficult for him and he had to walk a little bit more, but he seemed to be having a great time so it didn't really matter. Also, he seemed to be going a lot quicker than he ever did when he did junior parkrun. Everyone around us was giving George encouragement and cheering him on and he was having a great time, but he was definitely starting to struggle a little as we approached the University building. He was starting to talk less and walk more, but he was still going, so we told him we were nearly there and kept encouraging him until he crossed the line to cheers from everyone watching. It was really nice!
