Parkrun done at Rosliston. I ran there once before (Feb 18) in 36:47, today was 29:24 - that'll do :-)

96.8 FTM, 3.2 miles to do tomorrow; I'll probably do 5, just to be on the safe side.

Great photo a few pages back!

I'm just in from a grueling half on steep snow-covered hills but I enjoyed it.

Afternoon. Caught someone, ahem, “breaching the acceptable use policy” on one of the public PCs at work. We only realised because he was trying to print off what he found online. Looks like ICT need to improve the filtering software. 🙄

Hope the TBCers are having fun!
I abandoned my plan of a long run today due to recent thigh and knee niggles, and instead had a lovely family afternoon, TP drive us to a canalside pub, then I ran the towpath to the next village along and back. 4 pretty miles. Meanwhile TP and the turtle were walking the towpath looking for butterflies, and we all met up back at the start for cider and pub nibbles 😊.

It felt hard (lack of water and food beforehand, my own fault) and the Garmin was being rude again, and I'm way down on monthly and annual targets, but I had a far nicer day than if I'd pushed it for the planned 12 today!

There was indeed lots of smiling :) Lots of new stickers too.

It always makes me smile how you feel as if you ‘know’ someone before you’ve even met them :)

Sounds as if you did the sensible thing with your run today, TM.

Good heavens, Sigh, that's an improvement! (parkrun time)

Love the photo. Fleecy I recognised immediately, but was glad to be told who the others are.

"Local" parkrun done (this was its 4th event, and I've done 3 of them); managed to keep under the 40 minutes, and was 1st in my age group for the usual reason. Lots behind me, though. There was a contingent from the local "just move" group, doing their first ever 5k.

TBC sounds lovely.

Had a good day training, too much time in classroom for me but had to be done. Managed 12 miles on the bike around the delights of Ashford (stanhope Frag 😂) and only had 3 loads of abuse shouted at us
