When it comes to Christmas my boys Lists to Father Christmas mainly consist of new computer games and/or consoles.

We went to Sutton Park parkrun and ran as sharks as part of their 7th birthday celebrations. If there was any doubt whether the appeal of parkrun was down to the community that would have been well and truly squashed at this fab event! Really reinforcing why I love parkrun tourism.

Many people are summarising how their parkruns went this year and so I thought it would be a good way for me to reflect on my journey. Never have I had much of a plan other than to just keep pushing forward and keep moving. My main reason for parkrun is, and always has been, … Read more

It was also my first return to running after resting my foot and wearing a fracture boot. The second Saturday of the month meant it was pacer week too. Cwmbran parkrun, … Read more
We ended up at Cardiff parkrun New Year’s Day by a bit of an accident but I am really glad we did. The children did not want to do parkrun having stayed up so late and it was misjudged how long it would take to our planned parkrun destination. If I am honest I knew … Read more
We headed on over to Ross-on-Wye parkrun for their event 121. Some of you may realise that this was also a square-number event. It was a last minute decision as we were initially going to go further away but decided that it wasn’t a good idea to do so. Ross-on-Wye Parkrun Course Course A is … Read more
