After the latest bollocks from Boris it looks like everything's cancelled until at least June. I've already had the council emailing me telling me that I can't plan to restart the parkrun "before the autumn" ... I hadn't even asked them :(. I suppose that at a certain point someone might consider that nobody has caught anything exercising outside.

I will miss old people holding there heads like they are playing hide and seek with a small child as I run passed. Or the,` you should wear a mask as I run by.` The glares, the disapproval in a funny kind of way. Spread the love, ah Jock? |

When I come across this behaviour (which is quite often), I'm always tempted to say "You know that the biggest factor in the spread of Covid is? Stupidity!". But I never do. (Just to be clear, I really go out of my way to make things easy for walkers, etc., giving them a very wide berth, stopping when necessary, making a point of thanking them, but I presume there must be some kind of anti-runner hate being whipped up on social media and in the tabloids).

"Someone jogging, walking their dog or working out in the park is highly likely to have Covid 19" - UK govt advert, Jan 2021 Ad was pulled due to complaints, but no apology/retraction that I am aware of. |

Also had the "Stay 20 metres apart when exercising, scientist warns, over fears runners can spread coronavirus from further away" That may explain while people run the other way as us runners come near them  telegraph.co.uk |

These things, where people get a chance to blame others for problems, always take off quickly.

Edinburgh marathon festival 2021 still on...as a virtual event I would have had to travel a few hours to get there so am not bothered personally, obviously a downer for those who live nearer I expect Will try to switch to another marathon closer to home around same time |
