Renaissance woman. Likes physics, politics, painting, parkrun and perfect pop. And other things that don’t begin with p. And not necessarily in that order.

Sitting on a pontoon jetty, feet cooling nicely in Loch Lomond. This is very close to paradise. (And I have a bar of tablet for later) #lochlomond #westhighlandway #rowardennanhotel

Came down the stairs and found a huge spider lurking in the lounge doorway. Took mere seconds to get a glass, return - and find the spider gone. If I survive the night, I may have to move house.

Cuningar Loop #parkrun. The RD shouted “GO!” And the heavens opened. Torrential rain for the first km; puddles and general sogginess for the remainder. A lovely event - will definitely return, but in better weather!

Lochend Woods #parkrun in Dunbar. A 2-lapper, each lap a lap of two halves. One an energy-sapping plod round the playing fields, the other a glorious soft trail run through the woods. Lovely friendly volunteers. Not my best effort - it was a bit hot.

Are @avantiwestcoast.bsky.social active on here? Perfect journey (if slow because engineering works) EUS to Motherwell - then a 15 minute sit outside GLC. I’m very disappointed in you. OTOH maintaining a good DelayRepay average.

Arbitrary 650 milestone ✅ at Ricky parkrun. An excellent morning - cake, coffee, Running Sisters, and chat.

Løvstien parkrun in Bergen. I’ve previously described various UK courses as brutal, but this is *really brutal*. OTOH, stunning views, and a lovely welcoming community. Before and after pics. The after more than ever a “proof of life” pic. #loveparkrun #parkrun

Avoided the congested start of @rickmansworthparkrun by popping over to @cassioburyparkrun. A lovely run in the sun to mark the 17th anniversary of my first run @bushyparkrun. Who’da thunk I’d still be plodding on after so long?!. #loveparkrun #parkrunuk

My Camera? Aztec.
My Leg? Wet
My manoeuvres? Orchestral, and in the dark.

Headed to Erskine Waterfront for today’s #parkrun -perfect conditions, a lovely setting, fab volunteers and very nearly but not quite a CYPB. A good parkrunday!

Worthing parkrun, with some of the Running Sisters - Sun, sea, pebbles and a bitter Siberian wind. Busy parkrun, loads of marshals, simple out and back course along the prom. #parkrunuk #loveparkrun

Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

Valentines parkrun. A nice, flat, 2-lapper. Though much as I love parkrun tourism, I’m not convinced organised coach loads of 100+ are a good thing.

Disaster! I’ve just opened the new pack of subscription coffee and found that it’s beans, not ground! Not quite sure how I’m going to get through this. 😱

A visit to Linford Wood parkrun. A lovely mud-free, one-lap course. The undulations and a rogue shoelace beat me. #parkrunuk

Popped down to Mole Valley parkrun today. Positives: sunshine, lovely volunteers, great views. Negatives: slippy mud, sucky mud, hills, more mud, more hills, the view of my mud-encrusted trail shoes slipping on the mud. Feel I should get bonus points for doing it in January. #parkrunuk

Beautiful day for a parkrun. Though temperatures, shoelaces, lungs and legs conspired to slow me down. (Plus ça change…) #parkrunuk

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...
