A weekend of celebrations. Celebrating my team mate Colin’s amazing achievement of 500 parkruns (I believe he’s only the tenth person in the world to reach that incredible milestone) with a pootle round said parkrun, celebrating friends who are leaving (boo) and celebrating summer (hooray) with my club. But mostly celebrating you guys, obviously. If you didn’t catch it on Saturday, here’s my piece on what a wonderful community this is. Thank you, all of you.
And finally, celebrating surviving my first “put some actual effort in” race for a while. Specially after the longest last four miles of a ten mile race in history. I swear each one was about 5k. Nothing to do with the lovely race itself – the Harry Hawkes 10 miler is one of my favourite of the year. It’s a friendly, well marshalled, scenic run, finishing on a village green with a cricket match being played in the middle. Cannot recommend highly enough for next year.
So over to you. How was your weekend’s running? Pootling round parkrun, pacing a mate or spending time in the gym to try and rehab those injuries? As always, share your stories and woes below the line.
