Waiting to leave or comfort zones and talk @goodgym.bsky.social at the Kendal Mountain UK Tour 😬

Sinfin 5 mile race ✔️ 34:19 (amongst some great running by my club) so I’m more than happy 😊 Great, well organised race - good job Sinfin Running Club 👏👏👏

Coming up this week: Taking part in the @kendalmountainfest.bsky.social when they visit Nottingham as part of a Q&A about @goodgym.bsky.social The films look pretty good too 🍿

Wollaton Hall for @parkrunuk.bsky.social No. 204 and what a glorious morning it was too 😊 #parkrun

Top night or at the @squirepac.bsky.social listening to @ultradamo.bsky.social talk about running a long way and ageing (also helped sell a few books 📚) Great to meet @drlygo.bsky.social and talk illegible signatures and whether I should run longer than 26.2!

A different kind of #medalmonday with my “medal” from the Vitality 10k courtesy of @treesnottees.bsky.social Slightly less environmental impact than a(nother) shirt @thegreenrunners.bsky.social

Maybe not the neatest sewing (you won’t see my on sewing bee @patrickgrantism.bsky.social !) but with a @pair-ups.bsky.social kit on the way to finish the job these Altras aren’t ready for landfill just yet! @thegreenrunners.bsky.social

A tad warm on my run before last night’s good deed for @goodgym.bsky.social Nottingham at Green’s Mill @thegreenrunners.bsky.social

Don’t think so Strava! Not after a successful Vibram result from Cheshire Shoe Repairs. Now, can I get them to 1000 miles @thegreenrunners.bsky.social 🤔

Nice and easy does it after racing the night before. Eased my tired legs in to parkrun 167 at Wollaton Hall taking time to admire the views (and steer clear of the 🦌).

Back sub 21 at the Newstead Abbey Dash 5k. Love this race, quite old school with no medals or shirts - just flat out racing! Fast downhill start then plenty of lumps against a rather nice backdrop!

Out with @goodgym.bsky.social last night for good deed 50 I love how goodgym give back to the local communities whilst keeping us in red shirts fit and active (especially when the task involves filling and moving sandbags around !!!)

Up and out early for an easy paced 10 miler to give me a 34 mile week. 16 degrees felt nice and cool after the last couple of days 😎

165th parkrun at Colwick this morning. Nice and easy was the pace on another warm (but cooler than last night) morning 😎

That was a blimmin’ warm Friday night race 🥵 31 deg C at the Tara Kinder Memorial 10k. Not a PB night but happy to come away with 46 mins and a shoehorn!

Task/good deed number 49 with @goodgym.bsky.social in Nottingham. Trip to Windmill Community Gardens for a weeding and wood chipping session

…and a not so easy Derby Runner League face for Heanor Running Club. You’d think running at a reservoir would be flat 🥵 but at least Carsington was looking rather nice - almost like being at the beach 🏖️

Nice and easy sociable 5k with the Nottingham Up and Running social Run Group

What happens when you let Strava choose your route? Well, on this occasion I got a nice 9 miler on some roads I’d not been on before - and even dished the showers! Not to survive two races this week…..

Found this parkrun hard this morning but got it done. A relative new event at Coronation Park in Swadlincote and a rather nice one it is too. 3 laps and a giant lizard 🦎 What more could you want?

Up and out early before work. Bit of a sharpener to start trying to get a bit of pace back in the legs over the rest of the summer. 20 minutes of 1 min on / 1 min off felt like a good place to start.

Task 48 for @goodgym.bsky.social in Nottingham Getting stuck in to a lovely little space that just needs some TLC www.goodgym.org/v3/reports/w...

Just a small bimble around the Round Sheffield Run with my 15 year old. @thegreenrunners.bsky.social badge (back of vest and pack) ✔️ Carried our own fuel and water ✔️ Smiles all the way round ✔️

Just taken my @thegreenrunners.bsky.social badge for a run at the Sinfin 5 mile race in Derby…

An almost perfect morning for a run - helped those tempo miles fly by! Even had chance to thank a lady out litter picking 👏👏👏

A bit itchy and scratchy after last night’s task with @goodgym.bsky.social at the Windmill Community gardens in Nottingham. Plenty of brambles cleared from the brook @goodgym, plenty of scratches - oh and bit of a run there and back!

What a lovely evening for a run with the Up & Running Social Run Group in Nottingham. The Canal was looking particularly nice this evening - even a gaggle of goslings!

Fab weekend of running testing out my freshly resoled shoes. Top job by Cheshire Shoe Repairs @thegreenrunners.bsky.social
