Hazy morning at #parkrun this morning. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been here and my legs were tired but I still had a good time.

The image depicts a serene coastal scene with a calm body of water extending into the distance. The water is a deep blue-gray, reflecting the overcast sky, which is filled with thick fog, creating a misty atmosphere. On the right side of the image, a shoreline is visible, with a strip of sandy beach leading up to a forested area. The trees are dense and appear to be evergreens, with some houses partially visible among the foliage. The fog obscures the background, making the trees and houses blend into the mist. A solitary figure can be seen standing on the beach, adding a sense of scale to the vastness of the scene. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and blue, contributing to the tranquil and somewhat somber mood of the image.

Brooklyn Bridge #parkrun this week. Didn’t think I’d make the start after delays on the subway… but glad I did. Flat, one lap, great views, lovely weather. Maybe not one for the middle of winter!

Tricky turny then uppy downy

Easy run at Catford #parkrun. Looks like my scan failed but never mind. It wasn’t a fast time. Ran home as a cool down and that’s my running done for this month. Almost 120km. Wouldn’t have thought it possible 2 months ago.

Lots of #running related fun this morning. It’s the 10th anniversary of our local running club so we’re doing an all day loopathon for City Hospice and the MS Society and included #parkrun in that.

Some #parkrun tourism this morning, visiting Stafford for Isabel Trail, as a friend needed an 'I' to finish their parkrun alphabet. Have stopped for breakfast, and have spotted a comic book and game shop that I *might* have to stop by once we've checked out of our hotel ;)

Good morning one and all! Up for #Parkrun but volunteering today. Last one of the year at Appley then it’s back to running around the Isle of Wight festival site…

Way to go🥳

Trying to beat my tourist streak of 13 and I was up to no 11 this morning. The original plan today was a 45 min cycle to Bunyaville for the trail run there I’ve done once before. But we had a bit of rain in Brissie this week and although today was lovely I decided Bunya muddiness could wait. Plan B was the easier 25 mins cycle along the river bike path to New Farm which I’ve also done only once before. Path was busy with walkers and especially runners so much so that I wondered that I might have missed the start of #parkrun. But I hadn’t and enjoyed the 2.5 each way to Teneriffe along the glassy Brisbane river. Wished I’d taken my wallet, brekkie burgers at the farmers markets looked great. Well done to organising crew of 25, as befitting a busy but delightful area around New Farm park and the Powerhouse

Hi runners! A question for you.
I'm seeing a lot of you doing this #parkrun thing and I'm curious: what's it?
Thanks!! And stay hydrated out there!

#running
#parkrun
Our very own parkrun. I came 2nd out of a field of two but first in my age group. Many thanks to the run director (me) and to all the participants (GF).
Timing chips ? The only chips I saw were being stolen by seagulls.
First random track: GF telling me how much she likes Steve Cram's voice on #C25K (that track is on repeat !).
GF is on week 4 of #C25K & has a London Marathon place for 2026 - wish us both luck.
Enjoy your running.

#parkrun done.

It is a lot warmer than it looks out there.

23:14 Parkrun today. And lots of pictures!

Didn't look at my pace much during the run today, just let myself freewheel, though I started off quite fast. My PB on this course remains 22:59.

Parkrun picture of Luke. They appear pursued by a large crowd, but that's just Parkrun. They are wearing their usual getup - pride bandanna around their neck, pride patterned top, pride patterned leggings, pride patterned hip bag, and bright orange running shoes. They are also wearing a green cap. The picture captures them in the longest part of their stride and with arms swinging wide.

Alt...

Another Parkrun picture. Fewer pursuers this time. Luke is mid stride in this one.

Alt...

Parkrun picture 3. Luke is running by himself this time. They are on an asphalt path, with greenery behind them. They are holding up both arms, making V signs with their index and middle fingers, and grinning widely.

No parkrun for me this morning - an art exhibition is being set up on part of the course.
Enjoy your parkrun - I'll have to make up my own.

@hattom I have to look it up: Grace’s 100+% age grade comes from her surpassing the published WMA standard (the expected maximum) for women her age.

Indeed a #Parkrun legend!

Lovely article about a 97 year old who just completed her 250th #parkrun this morning in Belfast. She only took up running aged 88.

“it's just wonderful - people from all over Northern Ireland come and mix at Parkrun and you wouldn't have had people from all the communities mixing like that when I was growing up,"

Was slow at #parkrun today on 33.40 yet Mr Garmin thinks I got younger again, which was puzzling as usually when I feel good and run well Garmin says "you're only fit for the knackers yard".....I'll just assume that the algorithms for that are hilariously inaccurate for types that aren't stick thin running for days spirits...

A hot morning at #parkrun and I was very tired, so quite surprised to be only just over 32 minutes by my watch. A nice sunny day here but quite breezy. Officially in a drought now as you can see by the colour of the grass in the park.

Alt...

View of the finish of Parkrun. There are volunteers in pink hi viz jackets waiting to scan finishers. The sky is blue, the trees are green and the grass is golden.

Volunteered today at #Parkrun, and then drove to pick up my bib for tomorrow's #TunnelVision #marathon #race! After that I followed #ChatGPT coach's plan and ran an easy 2mi with 15s strides x 4 on Snoqualmie Valley Trail: lap pace range 5’36” -- 6'18”/mi. Other than minor ear/throat infection, everything seems fine!

One surprise: I don't know if it's the new watchOS26 beta or my tapering this week, I scored a personal record VO2Max today: 52.1!

Wish me luck tomorrow!

Return to the local #Parkrun today. Lots of friendly faces. Went for coffee with my friend afterwards. She’s recently taken up ‘joggling’ (juggling whilst running) and is hoping to be good enough to complete a sponsored joggling Parkrun by the end of year to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Here’s a video of her practising at Pendine Sands at the beginning of the holidays 😀

An unexpected pleasure as the right side said no. But compression socks (grey, knee length, with added Do Not Resuscitate energy) and gritted teeth meant it all worked out in the end.

#parkrun done. Slowing down again. Hope you enjoyed yours 🙂

Proper #Parkrun tourism, and alphabeteering, today at Queen Elizabeth Country Park. ‘Gravel Hill’ car park also describes the course. The down hills were fun though. Volunteers were very amusing too.

Visited #Springburn #parkrun this morning. Very good, recommend. Best time this year. But it's no Tollcross.

A later 9.30 start this morning at #parkrun this morning, as we're in Northern Ireland this week at Hillsborough Forest. More hills than I was expecting but none of them too steep or too long. Friendly crowd, finished in just over 36 minutes.

The coffee made up for it though x

That was my first #Parkrun since May and it was SLOW .... but I've just checked my Parkrun text messages and it was possibly (pending official time) faster than last time! 😄

I only do it for the coffee and toast. Oh, and the positive physical and mental health benefits. 🙂
