Sometimes it’s hard to get up for parkrun (ask no questions and I’ll tell you no lies) but you always feel fantastic and full of energy afterwards #loveparkrun

A lovely parkrun with a super-friendly and encouraging team. I was pleased to get 30:20 and Steve came in ahead of me at 29:06. Fabulous big breakfast in the cafe afterwards.

I somehow managed to buy matching shoes and clipboard today. Who knows when such a level of coordination might be needed?! The shoes are vegan, I’m not sure about the clipboard.

It was a damp and windy one today. Steve came in at 28:07 with me not too far behind at 28:50. Windy weather slowed us down a little heading west but made for an invigorating run. Treated ourselves to a good old-fashioned breakfast at Belchers afterwards. #loveparkrun

And today I somehow motivated myself to get up ridiculously early and do it all in reverse, which meant running up the hill from the dry dock at the Marina - that was hard!!!

I'm going to the beach clean on Sunday, May 25th, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. It starts on the beach behind Sea Lanes, with all the gear you need to get stuck in and @southdownsleisure and @sealanesbtn are treating all volunteers to a complimentary ice cream cone. Join me!

Went out determined to run 7k and ran just over 8k - beautiful day for a run by the sea - I think it inspired me! Gorgeous smell of honeysuckle on the cliff top above the Marina.

RIP John Prescott - I was thrilled when he came down to Brighton to support me on the campaign trail in 2015. People were so surprised to answer the door and see him and he seemed to really enjoy that - he was great fun and great company. Such a lovely man.

Chuffed to get a PB at Bevendean Down parkrun. It was exhilarating to be out on the Downs in the elements. I loved that the cows completely ignored us! Fab breakfast
at The Bevy afterwards. Perfect morning - who cares about a bit of rain? #loveparkrun

There are loads of things I wanted to do today, but getting my glasses fixed wasn’t on my original list…
