Episode 15
Preview of Lalor parkrun's launch in Melbourne's outer north, and Flentjar's own story. Covers the partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service and the launch-day Welcome to Country, Aunty Pam, the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects warm-up and demonstration, and a weekly Acknowledgement of Country thereafter, which Scott believes may be a parkrun first as an every-week commitment. Also the course (old golf course, bike path, the big bridge over the Hume Freeway with its high-five zone at ~1km, past the Melbourne markets and back around the lake), and her personal journey: 2014 Couch to 5K, Running Mums Australia, Michelle Esdell welcoming her to Diamond Creek, ~40kg lost in about 18 months, and now founding the first parkrun in the Whittlesea Council area.
