    First one for months yesterday, realised how much I enjoyed it. Wore my trail shoes so motored past everyone on the muddy and slippery bits!

    Gutted @InspectorSands to get a cancellation on a travel one :-( 

    Ground was a little firmer yesterday with a couple of careful corners. Felt a better run than the time indicated, though was a depressing being comfortably overtaken by a woman actively texting às she was running. 

    Love Parkrun

    It wasn't so bad as I was over for St Pauli v Werder Bremen, and I've done Alstervorland a few times now, but slightly annoying as a lie-in would have been nice, and I'd taken two sets of running gear because I wasn't sure how the weather would be! I'll be back there in the spring!

    Yeah sorry to hear that Inspector. 

    I'm in Osaka and got my Japanese tick, Hattori Ryokuchi is very hilly and includes some bamboo woodland. It had a fast crowd, 36 minutes for the tail walker is the quickest I've seen.

    76th different location for parkrun today. 
    I was shit though, can’t help but stop and walk around all the muddy bits in this weather to save being that guy that falls over and goes home brown….

    I admire your ability to get up early on a Saturday morning to travel. I’m on 3 venues!

    Out last night so skipped this morning

    It can be difficult after a few lines I understand 😉

    I ventured over to the continent at the weekend and managed to fit in Milano Nord parkrun. A nice flat two lapper around a park. Things were going well until my Mrs decided she needed a wee, 10 mins in, and ran behind some bushes. This cost us valuable drinking time as the Italians had laid on Prosecco and biscuits at the finish for everyone. 
    There were over two hundred runners, which was the most I'd ever seen at a parkrun outside of the UK.
    A really friendly parkrun that I would recommend, not just for the refreshments afterwards!

    Another random Suffolk one this week. 
    Going around rugby pitches just gives me bad memories of school. 
    Might try a castle next week instead
