I think today at Bournemouth was my fastest time with buggy. I'm tempted next week to do a very flat Poole to see if I can go faster. Though the busyness of Poole put me off!

Ran a new PB at Lancing BG, now down to 24:18!

I'm not going to beat that next week at Bevendean, but I've got my eye on beating my current best placed finish of 12th, and Geoff's bronze medal position there...

(Also, just realised I'm only six seconds away from taking the silver medal position at Lancing! Something to aim for!)

I went to Cyclopark today as it looked like a great surface (tick), not too twisty (tick) and flat (not tick). There's a hill nearly a kilometre long that you have to go up twice and of course down twice. Still my best time since parkrun restarted though, so very happy with that :)

Drama this morning

Didn't realise Upton parkrun wasn't on until 8:45 when I turned up, and no one else had! So a quick car ride to Poole, where I turned up just after the race had started!

Lesson learned. Always double check if the parkrun your going to is on!

Castle parkrun for me - a mix of surfaces but mainly grass with occasional tarmac and hard trail. Pretty much flat although a but twisty. It could get muddy after a lot of rain, but great today. Another fastest time since the restart

Rosliston for me today. A nice place to run, but blimey the hills! Might return when the bluebells are out next year, but not in a rush before then!

Too windy for the buggy. Bournemouth cancelled, Upton cancelled, Moors Valley cancelled. So off to Poole!

A fun trip to Sandhurst Memorial parkrun today, with Andy, Erika and her two year old. Bitterly cold at the start, but it warmed up for a time only just outside my fastest since the restart on a wet and muddy course. A really lovely run though, followed by breakfast at 'spoons

Perfect running weather yesterday - dry, sunny and 3 deg C. Sutton Park is another hilly monster (featuring the "Hill of Doom" which they send you down only to u-turn and run back up again!), but at least you get the pleasure of a downhill finish. Probably my fastest 5th km ever!
