Most weeks my OH comes with me on fake parkrun. She has never run so much since lockdown started

[All OK really, TBR, thanks - spent most of the week up in Yorkshire starting to clear Mum's house so we can sell it to fund her care home fees. Sad to dismantle my childhood home!]

Completed this week's fake parkrun earlier, in 29:47. I have yet another virtual race to complete on Saturday!

Finally started running again after a break (since January - oops) - it turns out that walking wasn't amazing preparation as my lungs complained a lot. But I've put both 5k runs in as fake parkruns - 41min (had some hills which required walking) and 35 min (much flatter so a little less walking). The flatter run was around one of my parkrun courses, saw some other folk out running and walking - it felt like a distanced version of friendlly - YAY!

I had a terrible vision of having to cut my fake parkrun short this morning to run home and create a tinder profile as handsome-widower. My OH was just in front of me in windy Wiltshire when a huge branch fell in front of her from a tree. It took me and another passing chap to remove it from the path. We had paused slightly before this to remark on a Macmillan cake stand effort by some old biddies. I am now going back to make their day (well, buy a cake for £40, if that does it)
