The run today was like something out of Silent Hill, so much fog I couldn't see the end of my nose! https://www.strava.com/activities/10739142521/

Foggy one today

Another parkrun ticked off, back at Chadderton Hall once again. No looking at the watch today but wanted to put in a decent effort (which I did thankfully), something I feel I've really struggled with recently.

After having some challenging mental health issues the last few months I've found it difficult to really enjoy the running, but I do feel like I'm slowly coming round, so that's good!

A lovely fresh morning to hit some trails with a couple of friends. All about soaking in the scenery and catching up today. Finished nearly 2 hours ago and still can't feel my fingers! 😂🥶

Long time no post... Back to Stamford Park for today's parkrun. Very cold and icy in places. After a couple of big falls on ice before Christmas I saw no point killing myself and was very cautious in those spots.

Marks my 6 year anniversary where the love affair started. With any luck I should make it to 250 parkruns by the end of the year too!

Hope everyone here is well, will try my best to post a bit more regularly again

That's 6 years of parkrunning, back where it started for me with run number 220 today. Hopefully hit 250 this year too

Just been to watch the Tour of Britain fly past in Greenfield. Very speedy! Really wanted to get up to the first big climb but didn't make it

Was my 200th parkrun this morning and went to a new one for me, Philips Park in Manchester. Nice little park with a couple of horrendous hills you have to do twice. Still on my way back to fitness but feels like I'm slowly getting there!

First time doing the tailwalker volunteer role at Chadderton Hall parkrun today. Had been a bit rough with Covid a couple of weeks ago and didn't really fancy running today. Surprised me how much jogging I had to do to keep up with the walkers, more like an interval session! 😂🥵 #parkrun

The Sunday trail run, probably a bit hilly for my liking today but a friend wanted to do this route... Shame I got stood up and had to slog through on my own! 🤣

I'm also doing a good job at picking routes with 'Caution! Bull in field' signs at the moment. Certainly sharpens your focus!

Crompton Moor Ogden Res Loop - Ben R.'s 6.9 mi run

Bit of a hilly one today and the route back was rather wild

Today's parkrun was at Oldham where the park was looking blummin' lovely as ever. We had visitors from Argentina and someone doing their 500th parkrun 🤩
Getting close to 200 myself so it'll be another 5 years before I hit that milestone I think!

Would have loved to join my friends at Huddersfield today but had important things to do after and wouldn't have had enough time to get back.

Did a bit of exploring round Holmfirth today, some lovely trails. Should have really taken some water today, quite exposed on the hills and rather hot today. Plenty of walking breaks and enjoying the shade where I could find it, so not too bad.
