Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I know everyone believes that their own local parkruns are the best ever ;-) but I just wanted to share this pic of me this morning at my second nearest event (credit: Running Photos MJH).

Two of our juniors ran just outside 17 mins this morning, at two different parkruns, and not particularly quick ones either. Both personal PBs and age cat course records (JM11-14).

As I won't be travelling to my nearest one on Xmas Day, thats my last one of 2021 done.

No spectacular times, I'm currently 3 minutes behind where I was running in 2018, but I am three years older...
Looking forward to a full year running in 2022, if things go to plan I can run my 250th on my birthday on the 25th June, if I miss 5 parkruns between now and then (sadly it won't be my 25th birthday...)
Now that will be a cause for celebration...

Freezing fog meant we could barely see the folk in front never mind the view at Aberdeen this morning!

Got an 8 second course PB, a 2% age grade PB, just 17 seconds off an all time PB set about 8 years ago I think when I was much younger and faster, and less than 30 seconds away from being able to claim to be a sub X minute runner which I'd never have thought possible.

Bit disappointed with the run though as my 4 legged and barking turbo charger for some reason refused to pull on the out bound leg so I was setting the pace. Did get a tow for the return leg, which is definitely useful, but could have smashed my times in good conditions today (not crowded and not as muddy as normal) if the woofer had been on form from the start.

Oh well, try again another week. :)
