I’m still injured and unable to run but at least I can still volunteer. Set up and finish token duties today at War Memorial Park junior parkrun. 140th volunteer credit at this event and 216th at all events. 138 young runner/walkers today. #parkrunuk #lovejuniorparkrun #loveparkrunvolunteering

Hope so.🤞🏻

Thanks, so do I. I’ve just got over hip bursitis so I can do without this😂😂. Old age catching up with me.👨🏻‍🦳😂

This was my first time at Evesham. They had to change the course as there was another event on today. I was just unlucky to pick today😂😂

I’m smiling in this photo as it was taken before the run. The usual course was changed and it became a 3 lap run with some very uneven ground. I managed to strain my calf muscle and had to limp over the finish line. 🙁 #parkrunuk #loveparkrun

I can’t believe that it is 44 years since I ran my first full marathon. No chip timing, no nutrition at water stations (we did get a wet sponge 😂) and no medal at the finish. We had to wait until the results were published in the local newspaper and then we could collect a hand typed certificate. 😃

Nice run on a familiar route,this morning. Sun trying to poke through the clouds but it is definitely cooler today. Another run closer to the weekend.

Dull,cloudy old morning for today’s little plod. However, a run always brightens the day! 😃

Had a little tootle around Coventry parkrun for my 300th parkrun. Many of the other local parkruns were cancelled due to the high winds but the runners of Coventry are a hardy lot! 830 runners braved the weather to complete the course. #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #300

Grey skies but plenty of smiles on today’s run. Getting a run in before strong winds and rain are meant to hit us from tomorrow! #hurricanehumberto

Beautiful sunny morning - perfect for running. Running isn’t cheaper than therapy but at least you can enjoy the views for free.

The rain kept off for this morning’s War Memorial Park junior parkrun where I was on barcode scanning duty. 135 young finishers this week. 😃 #juniorparkrunuk #lovejuniorparkrun

Had a nice steady jog around Sixfields Upton parkrun, yesterday. Nice fairly flat two lap course past a farm but no sight of any animals! 😂 #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #MilesWithBill

Cooler,this morning but still sunny. Just a gentle trot around familiar places. People are so used to seeing me out running that if they meet me walking they usually say, “Not running today?” I do have a life outside of being a runner. 😂😂 #ukrunchat #runningmotivation #runnersover65

Perfect conditions for this morning’s run - dry, bright and cool. Making the most of it before the paths are full of wet autumnal leaves!

148 wonderful young runners/walkers at this morning’s War Memorial Park junior parkrun. I had the pleasure of being one of the timekeepers today on a bright but cool morning. #juniorparkrunuk #lovejuniorparkrunvolunteering

Nearly didn’t run this morning as I felt distinctly off colour. However, as we were running away from home, I decided to run alongside my sister so that she could keep an eye on me! Ran around steadily and safely. #parkrunuk #loveparkrun

Ran before the cloudy weather could talk me out of it! A morning run is great way to uplift the mind and body for the rest of the day. 😃🏃🏻

Morning miles on the usual roads and paths. Kept it easy—let’s just say the World Champs won’t be calling me up anytime soon! 😂👟👨🏻‍🦳 #runningmotivation #runnersover65

When your sister is the Run Director, you have to take on several roles to help out. 😉Record turnout today of 173 participants at today’s War Memorial Park junior parkrun.

Not sure what my hair’s doing (auditioning for Lion King, maybe 🦁), but happy to be back at my home parkrun in Coventry! Slightly faster this week too — looks like the training is finally paying off. 🏃‍♂️💨 #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #runnersover65 #runningmotivation

Sunny skies, steady strides, and zero age records shattered 😂👌 Just a feel-good run to kick off the day.
