The RnR Show @ Norwich Arts Centre

This was one of those gigs that you find when scrolling through the ‘What’s On’ of your favourite venue website: Romeo and Ren.

Romeo is Romeo Stodart, him of The Magic Numbers fame. Ren is Ren Harvieu a singer/songwriter from Salford.

There are a bit of a weird duo. But it was an entertaining enough evening.

It goes in at number 4:

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.

Early morning run around the village.

Today’s picture: the muddy trail I’ve been creating on the playing field.

Gorleston Cliffs parkrun.

It was a miserable morning: cold and drizzling.

Which makes it all the more amazing that I actually made it.

Today’s picture: the track I’m making on the local playing field.

Just recently I’ve taken to running laps and laps and laps of my local playing field when I go for a run.

Today it was 20.

Why the hell do you do that? I hear you ask.

Well, let me explain:

The playing field is right opposite the house so it’s very convenient.
The village has no paths or lights, so I when I’ve got headphones on, I’m always looking out for traffic. On the field I can put the headphones on and not worry about being wiped out by a passing tractor!
Builds resilience. The lap is only about 400m, so you end up doing quite a few.
It’s also on grass, which is good for the joints, but power sapping, so you get a good workout.
