An out and back 24k run along the Thames to Gallions Reach - it felt much easier than last week’s slightly shorter run, despite a strong headwind on the way back and a couple of squally showers. So very pleased with it.

Some #parkrun tourism with the #greenrunners to Peckham Rye. A very pleasant location with lots of twists and turns and friendly marshals. A tiny bit of set up before and litter picking afterwards (it’s so much cleaner than Lewisham parks). Best Outfit Award🏆 #loveparkrun #jogdivision

Probably my longest run for 4 years as I persuaded a grumbling body to run 22.5k as part of my #londonmarathon2027 training. It was a loop that took in a misty Greenwich Park & Blackheath, then Charlton and Sutcliffe Parks. #alzheimersresearchuk #greenrunners #jogdivision

The first real run of 2027 London Marathon training, it was a 1/3 of the distance but after Sunday’s 10k race I was happy with that. It was a circuitous route to Beckenham Place Park stopping for a couple of chats en route. #greenrunners #jogdivision

My Vitality 10,000 was predictably a lot slower than 2025, I didn’t help myself by doing almost 39k steps yesterday; met friends from parkrun on the way to the start, had a, now annual, hug with a friend who was running in a later wave over fencing on The Aldwych. #jogdivision #greenrunners

A triple dose of volunteering at Catford #parkrun this morning - set up, first timers’ welcome and tail walking ahead of tomorrow’s 10K. A lovely chatty time was had coming in 300th and last. #catfordparkrun #mountsfieldpark #jogdivision #greenrunners

As a friend pointed out - ‘you are being beaten by a baby!’ It sort of summed up a Catford #parkrun where increasing effort seemed to lead to decreasing speed. Best outfit (there were toning leopard print shorts with matching socks) award made up for it though.

An impromptu doglek©️ session (fast to the 2nd dog) in Greenwich Park - 11 intervals, 42 dogs @ 5.5 dogs per km. The gardens are recovering from the drought with lots of late colour. #GreenRunners #JogDivision

Some intervals around Sutcliffe Park in very humid conditions, which went reasonably well. The plaque on Tracey’s bench has been installed this week- I sat, reflected, remembered, laughed and cried. #sutcliffepark #greenrunners #jogdivision #intervals

A lovely chatty #parkrun with @londonlinda22.bsky.social at Southwark followed by a meet up of #greenrunners to do some litter picking afterwards. A bit of volunteering tourism before, helping set up the fiendishly complicated finish funnel.

My first run since the #bighalf saw tired legs but most of the soreness had largely disappeared - it was just 5k round Sutcliffe Park, where some of the grass is beginning to have tinges of green and the lake is filling up. #greenrunners #jogdivision

I love the #BigHalf - it’s my favourite race; within 10 seconds of getting off the train at London Bridge a friend offered a spare tutu (sadly it didn’t go with my ‘outfit’). My time was a couple of minutes quicker than expected, although I wilted in the last 3k. #greenrunners #jogdivision

A lovely chatty morning tail walking at Catford #parkrun with a friend- we managed to almost lose sight of the people in front of us (sorry Sue and Hazel). #catfordparkrun #mountsfieldpark #greenrunners #jogdivision
