CK2You mentioned you needed to find a nearby parkrun, and I see from your profile that you live in mid-Wales. Come and do the Groe parkrun in Builth Wells, - it's almost completely flat, and a simple course (3 times round a long narrow rectangle). Several people run/walk it, and some simply walk the whole thing. There's also Newtown, a very pretty venue, rather complicated course. I don't recommend Hereford, unless they've changed the venue since I did it several years ago.

I’ve actually done Groe a couple of times - lovely course. Is that your local Columba?

Morning!

Hoping to squeeze in a short walk in the sunshine later but otherwise it is work, work, work today. No rest for the wicked!

Hereford parkrun is at the race course now. 2 and a bit laps. Can be windy there. Haven't done it for a while.

Morning everyone.

Please could you take off my Lakeland trail for this Sat Serendippily as mr jaks has started a new job and he has to work Sat. I don’t want to leave the dog for 6hrs on her own so I’m going to miss it. Still get to do Parkrun though. 😁
Thanks.

Morning everyone. Have done short run. Am hoping this is the way to do some tapering before Sunday as I don't think I've ever tapered before!

Morning everyone!
Bit drizzly for the dog walk in a bit and then I'll do a run as there'll be no chance for one tomorrow.
