Yesterday saw my last long run ahead of #londonmarathon2025 taking in Henlow Bridge Lakes #parkrun to see a club record being set for the VM80 category 🎉

Not often you see a hattrick and a hattrick of assists at a match.
Quite often you wonder how the sponsors arrived at the man of the match verdict, and that was no different today.

Very tempted to do some #parkruntourism tomorrow, but suspect the prospect of icy courses and late cancellations means its more sensible to stay local... #parkrun

Beautiful day for the run, if on the ❄️ side. #londonmarathon2025 training continues with a lovely 5 more miles in the bank.

Wycombe were good and deserving of the win, but we didn't need to gift wrap it with a bow.
Bring on Sunday and Bristol Rovers.

Got stuck on Part 2 of this one and no idea why. Was using the C# Point class. By removing it and using x and y, all works. :shrug: Might try adding it back in and see what happens?!
