A gentle 15km around Jesmond Dene taking pictures of flowers for my Friday parkrun post...
Might have even had a sneak peak at the new "not penguin" enclosure in pet's corner 😁

Wow summed up today's run... Beautiful sunny day, but bitterly cold 🥶... The joys of spring eh 🤷

Had an enjoyable meander through Jesmond Dene this afternoon. Nice and sunny with spring in the air. Saw a couple of dippers and grey wagtails. Very pleasant and calming.

Grrr so annoying how GPS seems to drop out around the Dene. I'm sure those mid two 2 minute pushes were not THAT slow 🤦

Drama... A tree blocked my path today... Didn't stop me though... I ran under it 🤷

Trying to keep the Garmin happy with a slow one... Apparently not slow enough so why did I bother 🤦
Quicker pace tomorrow for Friday course check though 😁

What a difference a day makes! Same 10k route 24 hours apart. Yesterday it just felt so yuck... Today it was bliss and I was 5 minutes quicker with less effort... #running #jesmonddene #lovinglife
Gentle one to start the week. Beautiful sun shining through the mist. So glad that young, dumb me brought a place next to this park all those years ago. Really keeps my head calm. #running #jesmonddene #headspace
Parkrun day and I got to run one... Well "mine" am I allowed to call it that as the Event Director?
7.5km to go to get to 200km this month
14.5km to get to 650km this year... Wonder how long tomorrows run will be (at least) 🤣

Day 2 of not having coffee and I'm still alive, but questioning my life choices 🤣...
A gentle recovery run today, more to check the course and take pictures ready for Jesmond Dene parkrun tomorrow... Noob moment when I stopped my watch talk and forgot to restart it 🤦 #parkrun #running #jesmonddene
Had to do a threshold session today... I'd had some crazy idea this morning... Something about giving up caffeine for a week or two... Madness! Needed to punish myself 🤣 🤦
#running #jesmonddene #headspace
It was a bit nice out there this morning. One of the joys of being involved with parkrun is being out so early on the weekends - honestly something I didn't think I would say 🤣
#jesmonddene #parkrun #headspace
Started the day with a lovely run... Then work 🤦... A morning on a conference call that I've been asked to attend for some reason 🤷... Best prepare for parkrun #parkrun #jesmonddene #headspace
Beautiful frosty start to the day and a fun filled parkrun was had! I even got a chance to run! Happy parkrun Day everyone.

510+ km run so far in 2026. Still feeling good about making my target 😁
Annoying about the rain today 🤣
#running #jesmonddene #headspace
Every now and again I have to stop and just take in the scenery when I go for my run. It's so easy to go through life and not see or appreciate your surroundings. #JesmondDene #Running #Headspace
It's a beautiful morning for a parkrun in Jesmond Dene... It's our 250th who would have thought.
#jesmonddene #parkrun #running
Well, I dug deep and tried... Really my knee was not feeling it after 3km, but it wasn't too bad overall. I need to do more speed work to get back to last year's form... Still another parkrun and still fun 🤣 #parkrun #running #jesmonddene
Nice run this morning, didn't feel too bad, I think I need to throw out one of my knee braces though 🤣

Poor Bob seems to have gone... For now?
Spring seems to be arriving as well. Still very cold though... I'll have to monitor things before Saturday...
#jesmonddene #running #headspace
Cold start to the day pre-setuo cold spot check... Failed. Jesmond Dene parkrun is cancelled 🥶 #parkrun #jesmonddene
Another day, another morning run in the rain... Ok we've had enough rain now. Everything is drenched and saturated... When will the first hose pipe ban be declared I wonder? #askingforafriend #jesmonddene #running #headspace
What a difference a day makes ☔... Solid day of rain and Bob is definitely back! #JesmondDene #parkrun
Well that's 300km in 2026. Still on track for my annual goal.
Great way to start the day, really clears your head. #running #jesmonddene #headspace #mentalwellbeing
Well... What can I say, the weather has been wet all week so your feet will also be wet by the end of parkrun...
It'll still be a great start to your weekend though!
#jesmonddene #parkrun #running
Longer one this morning including Jesmond Dene parkruns infamous "Bob"... Still raining so I'm sure "Bob" is getting bigger and deeper... #JesmondDene #parkrun #running #headspace
Another day with The Puddle! I don't think it's going anywhere soon, may well be here for a few weeks. All while the ground either side gets churned up more and more... You're much better off just running through it! Could still do with two volunteers. #JesmondDene #parkrun #running #headspace
Ended up doing a shorter route than planned... I was running late 🤣
Crossed the 10% mark of my 2000km this year target, so that's a positive.
On another note is Wordle making a statement with the last 3 words (at least)?
#confused #running #wordle #JesmondDene #headspace
Safe to say the rain yesterday had an impact 🤣
Also are this year's storm names from Sci-fi?
