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…

Guildford parkrun
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…

Project Mojo: Week 4
The running week that wasn’t. I spent most of my time ill and miserable. A single parkrun is all that I’ve got to show and I wisely swapped to taking photos at the last Summer League fixture of the season and not killing myself over 10k. The Son got out…

Luton Wardown parkrun
Our parkrun tourism adventure motored up the M1 as Other Dan joined me to meet Simon and Alf at Luton Wardown parkrun. We brazenly laughed at our tendency to leave planning until Friday night by setting this one out last week when we bumped into the Eagles parkrun tourists at…

Project Mojo: Week 3
Crash and burn. Unwisely carried on training through the week with an upset stomach until Friday when I flopped onto my bed as I couldn’t face an 8 mile run. An awful nights sleep followed as I kept waking up with a high temperature. I slogged my way round 5km…

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…
