Saturday means one thing ... parkrun!

Running, Video Games, Movies, Oldham Athletic. Generally post about my outdoor adventures and try to get some nice photos taken too.

@hischeekiness Thankfully not! Just a couple of nurses spotted today, so I don't think my mental state is anything to worry about just yet 😳🤣

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/

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!

@hischeekiness Yeah it's lovely there, I'd been neglecting the trails because the weather's been so awful lately, but that was just what I needed 🥰

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

@MarvinFreeman Thanks!

@nowster It seemed more hilly than Chadderton, feels like they're longer climbs but I think Philips is a bit easier overall (corners are more sweeping)
