As part of our running club there’s certain races that the cost is refunded to us. We just haven’t had the time/energy/motivation to actually attend club runs as of late. Mainly because my husband and son don’t get in until just before the time of the run. So naturally when they said that Chedworth Roman … Read more
We headed to Kingsbury Water parkrun to complete the last of any parkruns in Birmingham. This is in Sutton Coldfield, which they like to not consider as Birmingham but it is in the West Midlands area. We found this to not only be a very beautiful parkrun, but a very friendly one too. Literally everyone … Read more
After our son deferred his place for the London Marathon it left us with a free weekend! Having always wanted to visit Poland we took the opportunity to have a short break whilst visiting Zielony Jar parkrun. This is also giving us a Z for a third parkrun alphabet. Also it would give me a fifth … Read more
We headed to the beautiful Cosmeston Lakes parkrun in Wales. Our son had previously suggested going there and he wasn’t wrong about how lovely it was. Having previously been bitten by a dog at parkrun I also liked that it was a dog prohibited course (apart from assistance dogs). Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, Lavernock Road, … Read more

This Easter Saturday we headed to the very lovely Beacon parkrun, Lichfield. It is such a beautiful location and such a wonderful community. Plus I was the tail-walker with my husband. It was the best way to wear my inflatable bunny costume. We then also did post-event close down and I wrote the run report. … Read more

We headed to Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun for event 113. This helped me with a number of my parkrun challenges and also wasn’t too far away from home. Another reason I picked it was for it being flat and on path. This week I decided to straight run it, rather than Jeff. Tamworth Castle Grounds, … Read more
