Snow on the horizon.
No way it was 3°, it was at zero or slightly below. Imho.

Grizedale Tarn was absolutely stunning. The reflections were amazing.

Grizedale Tarn was absolutely stunning. The reflections were amazing.
So I ended up running with 2 pals around Grizedale Forest, 9km or about 5 and a half miles with some steep inclines. 🙈
Absolutely gorgeous morning, even if it was very cold. Garmin says 3°, but there was snow on the distant mountains and we saw frozen puddles. So I’d say -1° minimum.

I’ve not actually registered for the Half Marathon yet and I’ve already got myself a Bee Card so I can use it for travelling around Manchester! 🙈🤣
I think I need to do some #ParkRun tourism as well on the Saturday.
Next step, actually sign up for the Great Manchester Run… eek. 😃

It’s probably very boring to non-runners but my improvement in my #ParkRun stats is a personal source of inspiration to keep #Running
Just under 46 minutes back in August and I’m now under 34 minutes.
Next week I’ll sign up for my first half marathon and see where 2026 takes me.

Another PB!
I’ll have a look at the stats later, but I’m so proud of myself.
#ParkRun number 9 and I’m under 34 minutes for the first time.

Wowser. Garmin and Strava are saying that I set a new PB!
I’m waiting on the official email from #Parkrun but it looks like I managed a time just over 33 minutes. I’m massively proud of that time; considering that I only started back in August and my first Parkrun was completed in 45 minutes.

Good morning world! How are we all feeling today?
It’s an early start for me as I’m doing the pre-event course check for my local #Parkrun

There was a point I had to walk as well! I knew what to expect, I’d walked up and down it a few times before but I’d never tried running up it before. 🤣🙈

I’m giving this serious consideration…
It would be a big challenge, but if I trained properly I think it’s achievable.
Might even be a good challenge to take on if I raised money for @combatstress.bsky.social

So that was my 8th #ParkRun and I think I’ve scraped a little bit more off my time to get another PB.
Also I did the First Timers Briefing for the first time. #Volunteering
Cold morning today and we had some rain halfway around.
I hope all my fellow Runners are well.

I’ve applied to do an Adult Education course at my local college.
I’m a bit nervous, but this could be the first step in a new journey.

Went out this morning and managed a decent time in the 5k despite the temperature. Kept up a decent pace until my last kilometre when I slowed down a little.

Matching the dates that HMCS Saguenay was hit by a torpedo with the dates on these 4 Canadian war graves; it would seem these sailors were killed in action during this incident.
