Poor Bob seems to have gone... For now?
Spring seems to be arriving as well. Still very cold though... I'll have to monitor things before Saturday...

Another day, another morning run in the rain... Ok we've had enough rain now. Everything is drenched and saturated... When will the first hose pipe ban be declared I wonder? #askingforafriend #jesmonddene #running #headspace

Well that's 300km in 2026. Still on track for my annual goal.
Great way to start the day, really clears your head. #running #jesmonddene #headspace #mentalwellbeing

Well... What can I say, the weather has been wet all week so your feet will also be wet by the end of parkrun...
It'll still be a great start to your weekend though!

Another day with The Puddle! I don't think it's going anywhere soon, may well be here for a few weeks. All while the ground either side gets churned up more and more... You're much better off just running through it! Could still do with two volunteers. #JesmondDene #parkrun #running #headspace

Ended up doing a shorter route than planned... I was running late 🤣
Crossed the 10% mark of my 2000km this year target, so that's a positive.
On another note is Wordle making a statement with the last 3 words (at least)?

Safe to say the rain yesterday had an impact 🤣
Also are this year's storm names from Sci-fi?

Blood day today #239 done Platelets and Plasma as usual. More faith in humanity lost as they've had to move the seats for platelet donors because whole blood donors were complaining platelet donors were being "seen first" - Different clinic, different appointments 🤦 #people #NHS #BloodDonation

2025 was a good running year. I enjoyed that, over 1000km on my regular run route around Jesmond Dene. The hills have been great for my running. Running has really helped keep my mind in a good place. It has been amazing to be able to get out and run!

Three more Jesmond Dene parkruns in 2025... How many will you attend? I'm planning our 2025 summary deck as well, so any stats you want to see, say now and they may be included.
Beautiful morning for it today on the shortest day of the year!

The technical term for my run this morning is "Bodes", the rain is starting now but it's the wind we're most concerned about, based on the current forecast I expect is to be on, but forecasts can change... We'll announce by 08:00 if we are on or not. #JesmondDene #parkrun #parkrunUK

Thursday I was talking parkrun to a group, today I'm setting up and marshalling... Is it me or is parkrun taking over my life 🤣
Course is great by the way and the weather should remain good too.
