One of my favourite trail races today at Roche Abbey with my running buddy @LauraBe16155145. The weather was beautiful and warm, the hills were tough & the scenery was spectacular. Once again this was wonderfully organised by @IGUNrunning, big thanks to all the Marshals.

A lovely light drizzle for #parkrun this morning at Burnage running next to the River Mersey. The Mersey valley was full of Swifts swooping over the runners heads which was lovely to see. Good to be running with @miffy_on_the_miles too after her travels to the US last week.

#parkrun number 302 was my second time at @waparkrun with @LauraBe46962158. A lovely fast out & back course gave me a course PB and my fastest time this year. Huge thanks to the many volunteers who made this happen today. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat

Back to where it all started @cheadlehparkrun for #parkrun number 300. A cold frosty morning with the usual mud bath frozen solid so a little tricky underfoot. A huge thanks to the volunteers for putting this on in the freezing cold. @UKRunChat @parkrunUK #loveparkrun

Perfect way to start the year with #parkrun number 299 with @LauraBe46962158 at @lymeparkrun. A bit of a tough run after yesterday's exertions but finished strong. As always, a massive thanks to all the Marshals @UKRunChat @parkrunUK #loveparkrun

Traditional New Years Eve Trails & Ales Race up Rivington Pike with @LauraBe46962158 to round the year off. Its a brutal ascent but amazing views at the top when you get there. As always, incredibly well organised by @X_TrailBlazing events. @UKRunChat #over60running

#parkrun Number 298 was @WoodbankParkrun who used their winter course this morning (no hill 😁) I've had a terrific Xmas running with these guys this year. Crazy how much I love getting up in the cold and doing this. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat

What a morning to pick @lymeparkrun, such beautiful park with incredible views but wow! It was hot on that climb out from the start. Huge thanks to the very welcoming marshals, we couldn't enjoy it without you @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #parkrun #MentalHealthMatters

A lovely sunny morning at the very friendly Rotherham Parkrun this morning for #Parkrun 273. Its 3 laps with quite a long uphill section but it makes the downhill feel better. Thank you to all the volunteers this morning @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #MentalHealthMatters

#parkrun No 269 and location 119 was at wonderful and very enjoyable @wetherbyparkrun. Lovely flat 3 lap course with perfect conditions for an all grass event. Huge thank you to the very welcoming volunteers @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #MentalHealth #over60running

Terrific run at the Cannock Chase 5 Mile Trail today very well organised by @niceworkrun and sponsored by @porschewolves. A lovely muddy jaunt up the hills and on the trails in Cannock. Very pleased with my 1st place in the old fellas catagory. @UKRunChat #mentalhealth

I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful #Parkrun virtually on my doorstep. Alderley Park is a wonderful 2 lap trail run around the stunning woodland here. A big thank you to all the amazing volunteers today for making it happen. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #mentalhealth

#parkrun N⁰ 253 and location 115 was at the new Black Rocks Parkrun. A perfectly flat out and back with stunning views over the countryside which, I'm sure, will be a favourite with anyone chasing a PB. Big thanks to all involved today. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #mentalhealth

@AiLyn_Runner @UKRunChat You are braver than me today 👍

#parkrun N⁰ 50 for the year was at a very foggy Frickley Country Parkrun. A great undulating 1 lap course on the site of an old colliery. Loved the run but the steep climb at the start is a killer. Thanks to the many volunteers this morning @UKRunChat @parkrunUK #MentalHealth

[𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖈 𝕯𝖊𝖑𝖚𝖈𝖊 @GraceAndDanger]

Back to touring again at the super friendly @Ashbrne_parkrun this morning. A brisk 3 laps all on grass with a small path section and only a small hill. Luckily it wasn't too muddy at all today. Thanks to all the magnificent volunteers today @UKRunChat #Parkrun #mentalhealth

[𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖈 𝕯𝖊𝖑𝖚𝖈𝖊 @GraceAndDanger]

Stayed local today for #parkrun No 245 and went to @salewaterparkrn. What a beautiful start to Saturday it was. Absolutely loved my run this morning. As always a huge thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #mentalhealth #over60running

[𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖈 𝕯𝖊𝖑𝖚𝖈𝖊 @GraceAndDanger]

#parkrun No 240 was at the racecourse @ponteparkrun. A large turn out for this unusual trot round the racecourse. 1 lap on reasonable track and twice round the little lake. I actually loved it. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #mentalhealth #over60running

Stunning morning at Myrtle #Parkrun Bingley this morning. Beautiful location with terrific scenery. 4 laps part trail and tarmac and correctly described as 'undulating'. Big thank you to the terrific team of volunteers this morning @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #mentalhealth

[𝕸𝖆𝖗𝖈 𝕯𝖊𝖑𝖚𝖈𝖊 @GraceAndDanger]

@parkrunUK @UKRunChat Edit: That should read parkrun number 237.

Back on the road to Henley Wood #Parkrun Oswestry today for parkrun number 247. A chilly start to a splendid 2 lap, slightly muddy, woodland trail that was very well Marshalled. Massive thanks to all the volunteers today. @parkrunUK @UKRunChat #MentalHealth #over60running
