A struggle to run and a struggle to write a run report. It’s been a tough few weeks and my running has suffered as a result. Other Dan is still on holiday so I choose to drive down to Guildford parkrun to keep up my tourism streak. I wasn’t feeling…

Frimley Lodge parkrun
A solo excursion to Frimley Lodge parkrun while Other Dan is away on holiday in Greece. He’s already run here so I took the chance to tick another parkrun off my list and play catchup on his list. Parking is available for free at the park but note that this…

Raphael parkrun
The usual Friday night messaging between me and Other Dan. Barking parkrun was considered but Other Dan said it was cancelled this week. Beckton parkrun was next on our list but then Other Dan realised that the local roads would be closed due to the London Triathlon. We both thought…

Maidenhead parkrun
Deep contemplation across Facebook messenger as we agreed which parkrun to visit this week. I made the helpful suggestion of “no plans other than let’s go touring somewhere new” while Other Dan plumped for Maidenhead parkrun or Aldenham parkrun because he has early plans for Sunday and didn’t fancy getting…
Barclay parkrun
The best laid plans… Other Dan picked Barclay parkrun so he could head off for karting afterwards. I picked a Friday night drinking in Brighton. I made the start line with a hangover just as the run briefing started. Unsure of the course, no idea which way to run, and…
Burgess parkrun
Solo parkrun tourism at Burgess parkrun for me this week due to Other Dan being away somewhere or other while The Son carried on with his unofficial attempt at the “teenager not moving from bed” world record. Other Dan had run here by himself recently while I was away camping…
Dulwich parkrun
The Lon-Done parkrun train got back on track as we made a visit to Dulwich parkrun. We had earmarked this event to run a fast time at – flat tarmac course with sweeping bends – but I’m out of shape so eventually just gave into ticking it off our tourism…

Highbury Fields parkrun
A solo jaunt through London on a Saturday morning to take in the 5 and a bit laps of Highbury Fields parkrun. Other Dan was off somewhere or other and The Son was fast asleep so that left me by myself. That’s until I bumped into fellow Eagle Robin. He…
