This Easter Saturday we headed to the very lovely Beacon parkrun, Lichfield. It is such a beautiful location and such a wonderful community. Plus I was the tail-walker with my husband. It was the best way to wear my inflatable bunny costume. We then also did post-event close down and I wrote the run report. … Read more

We headed to Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun for event 113. This helped me with a number of my parkrun challenges and also wasn’t too far away from home. Another reason I picked it was for it being flat and on path. This week I decided to straight run it, rather than Jeff. Tamworth Castle Grounds, … Read more
Our NENDY was Queenswood Country parkrun and I had waited until event 12 before visiting. This was to help build my Wilson Index.

My husband and I headed to Irchester Country parkrun to start finalising our second parkrun alphabet. It was quite a last minute decision as the one I had originally planned sounded really muddy.

We headed to Jubilee Bedford parkrun for my husband’s 100th different event. His Cowell. It ticked off so many parkrun challenges including the last letter I needed for the namely challenge.
