Just for general wonderings…
Saturday morning is often parkrun for me. Today it was my local one: Beccles Quay.
Struggled a bit this morning, was going for a fast one, but legs couldn’t keep up. Official time: 22.46. It’s also not really a quick parkrun, very uneven terrain and a bit twisty. So I’m taking it!
‘The Tao of Running’ by Gary Dudney
It’s a running book. Not a great running book.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, maybe an exploration into the mental side of what makes a good runner. I got that to a degree.
The book explores: mindfulness, staying positive, unleashing your inner trail monster, the wisdom of chilling out, the existential experience, finding your inner self, plus a load of other mental strategies. However, every chapter is a different 100 mile race the author ran – so it can all get a bit monotonous.
Some interesting little bits of advice, but overall, a book I probably wouldn’t recommend.
It was a lovely 7 mile run this morning. Fresh.
First day of the Easter holidays started with Gorleston Cliffs parkrun. Joined Riann on her very first parkrun: she smashed it!
Went for a run after school today, it was a lovely evening.
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:
