    7/25 for me today please.

    I knocked off a minute from my very slow parkrun time (44m today), and as I wasn't feeling particularly energetic it was a pleasant surprise. Our (Southport) parkrun wore either pink or purple in support of Alice's Wonderdance. Tomorrow there is a 10k event called Mad Dog, and Alice's Wonderdance will be their charity beneficiary. 🧚💜

    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    I'm at the airport now, will keep updating the totals obviously but it might be at odd times and also, not sure how many more AFDs I will get for this month but certainly aiming for some. Untitled Image Untitled Image
