Other Dan suggested Black Park parkrun this week because: It’s close enough to allow us extra time in bed. It was pacer day and he was going to try and help a friend go sub-20. We’ve run here before and we like the course. At 8am The Son casually mentioned…

Bromley parkrun
The tarmac paths of the Bromley parkrun winter course were a welcome sight for the concluding leg of our parkrun New Year’s Day double. Parking was easy, finding the start & finish areas was easy, and the run felt easy compared to our muddy adventure at Lloyd parkrun. Again, we…

Lloyd parkrun
A break from tradition as I left the safety blanket of running the Serpentine New Year’s Day 10k as part of the Eagles club championship series and instead met Other Dan for an early morning drive through London to deepest darkest Croydon. We’re slowly working our way to Lon-done (running…

Christmas Day parkrun
A Christmas Day free from The Son (enjoying himself in Japan), my grandparents (visiting family in Wales), and my mum (enjoying a cruise on the Amazon) so our first festive period together with no commitments. Mrs Dan announced that she would go with me to Northala Fields parkrun on Christmas…

Wimpole Estate parkrun
I’m still not sure how I managed to wake up early as planned and make the solo drive to Wimpole Estate parkrun. My parkrun tourism is littered with good intentions, those Friday nights where I pick a new location to visit but then wake up with a massive case of…

Pymmes parkrun
Other Dan said he didn’t have the time to stray too far from home. I asked whether that was Northala Fields parkrun or Pymmes parkrun distance time and he confirmed that touring was on to Pymmes. We’ve been saving this one for a while. It’s relatively near & easy to…

Beckton parkrun
The usual Friday night exchange of messages with Other Dan as we chose where to visit on parkrunday. I was shattered from a long working week and a planned peaceful Friday night at home descended into yet another evening of working remotely to deal with a last minute customer request….

Alice Holt parkrun
All by myself, I went parkrunning all by myself. Other Dan is saving his legs this year so each Met League fixture clash leaves me with the choice of staying home for a nearby parkrun or casting the net further afield. This week I made the drive to the beautiful…

Aldenham parkrun
Aldenham parkrun started on the 20th June 2015 and we decided to save a ‘nearby’ London event (it’s inside the M25) for a rainy day. Along came our rainy day where our time was restricted but we still wanted to visit a new parkrun. We’d done our homework on this…

Hilly Fields parkrun
A merry band of Eagles took the train to Ladywell station to run at Hilly Fields parkrun. Simon was running his 100th different parkrun location to join the unofficial Cowell Club. Someone tried to find a 100 balloon but failed. Instead Simon journeyed across London and ran a parkrun with…

Barking parkrun
A tube trip across London with Other Dan to meet some daring parkrun tourist Eagles for a mass visit to Barking parkrun. All went well except for neither of us checking directions and then wandering around a bit as we waited for a phone signal. The run consisted of some…

Bedford parkrun
I’m behind on my blog posts. Way behind on my blog posts. Fifty-four draft posts taunting me every time I venture into the posts section of my blog. I’m now so far behind that I cannot even remember running events or what happened there to make it an interesting blog…
