It was a beautiful summers day Kevin nearly didn't show up on time and snobbish volunteer group.

New PB for me today at Letchworth by almost 150 seconds. Rather less impressive given that this is only the third time I've completed a course, with 1x tail walk, and 1x really wet under my belt previously.

If you're really wet under your belt, you might want to make use of the toilet facilities beforehand :D

Wormwood Scrubs for Andi, Kev and myself yesterday. Tougher than I was expecting so not a fast time, but an enjoyable course and a good brekkie after!

Bexley today with Andi - lovely park but ridiculously hot, even at 9am, so I didn't turn in a good time. Only 12 left in London (although another is being added soon I believe)

My time today irrelevant as the start line too congested as event on in Park so I went further back and just jogged along with Iain he really suffers in heat i have to say its a lovely parkrun with great potential for a pb I will have to go back one day and Re try. Scenery fantastic would put this as number 2 after tilgate another one of the list.

Fulham Palace for me today - flat but quite twisty, and I went off way too fast and blew up about halfway. Way better than last week but not the sub 30 I was hoping to have achieved again by now

That was officially my 50th run so I got a nice round of applause :D

Somehow today on a gently undulating course I managed to set a slower time than my previous PB. I blame the existence of tarmac.

I got back in the 20min range despite being undulating. Really wanted 51s as bingo number but time keeper stopped early. Despite that wonderful parkrun.

Oak Hill for me - no major hill except to get there, just long very gentle slopes. It was a bit if a trek from Southgate, using national rail would be closer but nowhere to get a pre-run coffee.
