First #ParkRun of the year done. Time wasn't great but I was struggling a bit with heart towards the end of last year so am grateful to have got round. Over a thousand runners today. And I made a friend - old South African chap doing his first UK run - former rugby coach and referee and I SMASHED HIM (I barely came in front of him and he was about 50 years older than me). As always, I feel great. My mind is clear, I feel hopeful, positive and cheerful. I'm looking forward to the day. I've reconnected with my wife in a meaningful way and generally am the best version of myself. Whyyyyyyy does it have to be running that does this?!?!?! Why can't it be sausages or watching television?.....
