Missed #parkrun this morning… went and got myself a medal instead at #runAltonTowers… 😜

50 parkruns!

Had a steady one today at Colwick #parkrun for the milestone, it was so busy (>500 runners)!

I still always feel massively humbled seeing all the 100 & 250 PR t-shirts, it’s a long way to that hall of fame! 👏

No PR next week due to running the Alton Towers 10k… ☺️

#keepshowingup

Really wanted to have blast at a Singapore #parkrun this morning - we landed at 5am for a stopover - however fatigue and the logistics of managing 2 tired kids (plus it’s 28°C at the 7:30am start time) means I’ll give it a miss…
Shame… ☹️

A huge shout out to the #hivizheroes as always!

That face you make when it’s #parkrun at 9am then the kids got footy practice at 10:30, in the aftermath of Storm Amy… 😐🤪

I didn’t do #Parkrun earlier today because we’ve had a really tough week…

I said goodbye to my best friend on Thursday after 13 wonderful years with him, and I’m absolutely heartbroken. 💔

It’s my almost my 50th PR, so I’ll be clapping those #hivizheroes again soon…

Rest in peace Charlie.🥺

Finally visited every one of Nottingham’s nine #parkrun (s) with a trip to Clifton this morning, next mission to run every PR in Nottinghamshire!
Made a lovely friend, Trixxy the Boston Terrier! 🐶
A nice flat course, but it’s all grass/trail, so not ideal for buggies.
Big thanx to the #hivizheroes

Took a weekend off from Parkrun to visit Truck Festival in Oxfordshire, saw some incredible bands including the mighty Kasabian and our new favourites the #Reytons!

I’ll get back out there on the 5k’s next weekend… 😜

Really enjoyed being a #parkrun tourist at Beeston this morning!
Ideal conditions, a lovely flat course, huge turnout (>400) and one of the best marshalling teams I’ve ever seen, they had a sign language interpreter for the 1st timer briefing!
👏👏👏 to those hi-viz heroes!

This guy?

Back with a bang at Colwick #parkrun today, setting a new course PB, and even dragged a friend along for their first ever Parkrun!
Huge 480 runner turnout on a wonderfully smooth concrete course, with perfect running conditions today.
Nottingham running is booming! 👊

Smashed my #parkrun PB this morning at the stunning Black Rocks (Derbyshire Dales).
A huge 360 turnout, although it’s not the most exciting course I’ve ever ran, the weather was glorious, loads of volunteers and a fabulous place to have a post run wander in the woods. ☺️

My watch tells me that was my all time #parkrun PB at Forest Rec today (not the flattest, but still my favourite)… Official time incoming… 🫣🤞

Another #parkrun PB @ Forest Rec today, with 40 secs off my course PB.
Wonderful fresh & frosty course, with an epic 290 turnout!
Even knew a timekeeper from work (Hey Kelly 😜), a cracking job by the marshals as always!

Really enjoying running at the mo, & getting consistently faster 👊 ⚡️

Faced some #parkrun demons today, tackled my least favourite in Nottingham (Bestwood Village) and smashed 1:25 off my course PB! 👊
The 3km warm up run down there came in handy - make sure to warm up properly kids (& adults)!
Thanks to the volunteers, esp the RD with the faulty megaphone! 🤣

I didn’t attend an official #parkrun this morning due to not setting my alarm clock… 🫠
However I would still thank all the incredible volunteers that turn out every sat/sun to host these incredible events!

You’re AMAZING!

I also ran a steady 5km… 🤪

If you fancy a bit of amateur astronomy in the UK right now (19:00), if you use the moon as the centre of the clock, at 2 o’clock the brightest ‘star’ is Jupiter, and at between 7-8 o’clock, that little orange ‘star’ is Mars.
Happy Sunday stargazers! 🤩
