I went to Dartford heath on Saturday having not run there for a couple of years. I had forgotten how nice it was, made a bit easier to run as the course had dried out considerably. I even spotted a couple of fellow Addicks on the way round.
Charlton this morning, pretty breezy but all good.
Discovered today that Ingrebourne Hill had changed my time from last week so I finally hit stopwatch bingo after 297 runs. Bit of a damp squid finding out seven days late, though!
Just seen footage of the Beijing half with robots. One looked a bit terminator like. When interviewed after, he vowed that he'd be back. I note the fastest was slower than my half time the other week by more than minute. Can't help feeling they've wasted their time and money making them if that's the best they can do 🤣
The funny thing I find with Parkruns is that, and I'm not trying to bragg here, but having done over 250 now and never yet gone over 30 mins (but getting ever closer to it) I always feel almost surprised to get over the line. Ridiculous really.
Lymington Woodside today. Made it over the line again 😉
Roundshaw Downs today, I think that means I don’t have to go to Croydon again… Especially as the gurning virgins were over-represented today. I should’ve bought a villa shirt…
Rather fell out of love with running after London marathon last year. Six months off then lost 3 stone and started Cto5k Nov 5th last year, with target of getting back to 70% parkrun. Achieved it at Gunnersbury today, 24:05 for 70.97%
46th consecutive parkrun for me now, staggering. Holiday is booked but if I don’t get crook or lazy I will have done 52 on the spin the day before I fly… 51st different location this morning too but whilst lovely it was too hot for a good time for me….

I'm on 51 different locations too, only one of which counts as a Londone one. Another reservoir slog for me today, my tenth 'dam' run at Rutland Water 😉
Hit my 300th parkrun last week at Hilly Fields - not bad for someone who started doing it as rehab for a broken ankle...
Went over to Stockley Country parkrun, just north of Heathrow, yesterday. A decent trail run, a bit narrow in parts - I wouldn't like to be there when it's busy.

I've now done 61 of the 65 runs in London.
Which ones left?
Morden, Hanworth, Northala Fields and Southall. Plus any others that may start!

I’ve done those, you’ll likely not be surprised that I would rank them in the order of; Northala Southall Morden Hanworth

Southall preferred to northala for me, nice volunteers including a bloke in a wheelchair who takes hundreds of photos

Yeah there’s not a lot in it but after the run at Northala I got to make a cross-your-heart-bra shape on strava, winner-winner-chicken-dinner

Yeah, I'm not expecting much from Hanworth, other than the nice cafe by Feltham station... but we'll see!
Hoping to wrap it all up at Southall, as it'll be easier to get others to come with me and I've heard good things about it.
