Just for general wonderings…

I made it to parkrun this morning. Local one, Beccles Quay parkrun. It’s been cancelled for the last month or so because of flooding issues.
It was a lovely sunny morning.
I had a go at a fast one. But after 500yds it was clear it was going to be tough. Tried hard.

Gorleston Cliffs parkrun.
It was a miserable morning: cold and drizzling.
Which makes it all the more amazing that I actually made it.

After the shenanigans of the last term, this halfterm I had decided that it was to be full up with stuff. And it was. I had homework to complete.

Plenty of parkrunning and long runs, Samaritans, gigs, meals out, reading, allotment action and general merry making was had.



I’m feeling ready for a very important term back at school.

When doing a Parkrun on a Saturday morning, you generally have just one thing to remember: don’t forget your barcode.
I forgot it.

Day 7 RED January
After not running at all in December (and barely in November) because of the niggle in the calf, this RED January is a godsend. It means I can very slowly increase distance and speed.
So today I was at the gym – 4 miles on the treadmill – slowly increasing the speed of each mile.
I’m hoping that by the end of January I might be somewhere need where I was about 3 months ago so that I can start building up the mileage and getting back to some faster parkruns.
