#parkrun this morning with the dog. Stunning morning at Markshall Estate in Essex- perfect conditions, excellent post run breakfast and Harris was first dog 🥇 celebrating his 4th birthday #loveparkrun #ukrunchat #blueskyrunning #barkrun

Great job by the team at Ben’s Yard, Ely this morning. When Ben’s Yard opened a while back I walked there with the dog and immediately thought ‘this is a parkrun waiting to happen’! Weather was top notch, the course great- well done to everyone involved in setting it up. #parkrun #loveparkrun

On the way to Sutton Hoo, popped into Chilton Fields- great #parkrun 2.9 laps with varied surfaces and some twists and turns. Dog had a ball! #barkrun #loveparkrun #blueskyrunning

Awesome morning at Monsal Trail #parkrun. The sun was shining and the route was a beautiful, relaxing out’n’back. Taper week ahead of the Cambridge 1/2 marathon next week. #loveparkrun #blueskyrunning #ukrunchat

Second time at Salcey Forest today, long run tomorrow so didn’t go full throttle, Jonah came 4th 😳. Gone are the days I used to pace him to a PB! #parkrun #loveparkrun #blueskyrunning

Back to my home #parkrun -the flat and fast Storeys Field, and back to the old start location to minimise the carnage at the start. Fantastic way to start the weekend. #loveparkrun #DFYB

Like many others, hitting a ‘Birmingham adjacent’ parkrun today en route to the National Running Show at the NEC. A cracking parky r at Arrow Valley in Redditch- some icy corners; well marshalled- top job! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Ran with the dog today, lovely ‘barkrun’ at Pocket parkrun, and they know full well what their winter course looks like 😳😳😳 #stravaart #parkrun #loveparkrun #barkrun

Massive thank you to all the RDs for all the course checks over the last few days and all the volunteers for standing around in -4 degrees this morning 🥶. Fulbourn Hospital is always a joy, just this morning it was a very cold joy! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Less pace and more chat at parkrun today, rewarded with both, position and stopwatch bingo. Last time I went to Milton Country parkrun I fell flat in a puddle… so nice to finish today upright and without bloody knees! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Ran a 10k on NYEve so my body wasn’t working this morning, and the weather gods wiped out Cambridge parkruns again, but Huntingdon did the business and had an enjoyable muddy slide to start the year! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Beautiful trail through Salcey Forest to complete my 52nd parkrun of the year. Carried the Christmas tummy over the line 🦃 #loveparkrun #parkrun #blueskyrunning

Another blowy parkrun, another Country park. 53 different location at Brixworth Country parkrun- cracking route along the lake, and then through the parkland to finish with a couple of sneaky hills. Heavy legs for me; 5th place for my offspring. #parkrun #loveparkrun

How many other parkrunners have this unsurprising stat in their Strava ‘year in sport’? #parkrun #loveparkrun #blyskyrunning #strava … and no I’m not a 15m runner- can only assume it includes my short walk to the coffee shop after to create that average!

Beautiful morning for an undulating trail run through Brandon Country Park, fantastic course and great to be back at parkrun after the storm stole one from us last wknd. #parkrun #loveparkrun #blueskyrunning

With all my local parkruns cancelled, I’m going to have to give in and take the red square hit on my 2024 ‘perfect’ attendance 😢 #parkrun #loveparkrun

A while back now, but we did Rutland Water parkrun in the most horrendous weather; absolutely loved it! Perhaps one for @rachdhd.bsky.social to consider for a bsky meet-up as it’s quite central. #parkrun #loveparkrun

Filled a gap in the voronoi map this morning with a lovely trip to Bedford parkrun. 2.5 laps, tarmac (and wet leaves 🍂) all the way round + top notch support around the course. Cheeky incline x3 caught me out a tad but happy with that run. #parkrun #loveparkrun

👋 parkrunners… Few weeks ago now on parkrun’s 20th birthday 🥳, this was my 150th parkrun and 50th different venue 🐄 at MK. #parkrun #loveparkrun #ukrunchat
