Another fab morning with fellow @thegreenrunners.bsky.social Caren and Jon.
Only my third run since finishing Dragon's Back Race, and I felt the lack of fitness.
However, Bestwood Village parkrun is a fantastic course and I love nothing more than splashing through muddy puddles.

Just 2 more years at current rates. It is essentially impossible to avoid global temperature rise exceeding 1.5˚C.
