I broke my leg at 12 and thought being a doctor seemed helpful.
Now after treating thousands of patients, I know the truth:
Prevention beats treatment.
Community beats isolation.
Small habits beat big gestures.
Parkrun teaches all three.

Just a reminder- let people post their joy and things that are bringing them happiness.
Don’t shit on them with stuff like “how can you care about that when the country is on fire”
We need to find light where we can.

Second visit to the Postal Museum. Last time, I didn’t notice that the five phone all work, can dial each other. That’s cute but… 999 and 123 work too!
Who’s old enough to know what 123 gets you? 🤔

Another #parkrun highlight was making good on my promise to get Brian, one of our very regular senior runners, to the Bushy octogenarian event (or die trying!) having failed miserably in 2023. Top day out 👍

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums:
2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)²
2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³
Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

Yet another attendance record for @parkrunnewzealand.bsky.social!
Looks like they may have missed first ever 10,000 attendance by a whisker (9,995) unless a few more are added with late adjustments to results. #parkrun
