Volunteered for the first time at Albert #parkrun as a marshal today. Lovely morning, great to shout encouragement at 300 strangers and doggos.
Mostly uneventful, oh, except the guy who drove a van into the park at our entrance and wanted to drive it around the course where runners were running.

Today's #parkrun was the Cinder Track in #Whitby, which goes over the Larpool Viaduct and has some lovely views over the Esk Valley and Whitby Abbey.
It was a straight course, out and back, mostly. Slightly up on the way out, slightly down on the way home. All of which got me a new PB of 27:48!

A trip to Seaton Carew for the Hartlepool #parkrun this week!
It was a straight-up-the-seafront-and-back run and, like any trip to the North East coast, could have gone one of two ways...
Thankfully, this one was not a grey, miserable, windy nightmare, and was actually quite lovely.

After a week of snow, we never expected to be doing a #parkrun this morning, but here we are at #Redcar.
Great course, not too cold and the rain held off. I finished with a baffling PB of 28:29, over a minute and half better than my previous PB! Must have been that last minute banana I scoffed!

We got up and did Stewart #parkrun this morning. Very friendly parkrun and a very twisty turny course through a lovely park. It's an absolute scrum at the start and the slippery conditions made passing difficult, but very enjoyable once it opened up.

Salt, pepper and vinegar is the weirdest love triangle.

Another lovely #ParkRun at Albert Park in Middlesbrough. Constantly friendly and welcoming, and a great way to finish my final #CouchTo5K run!

I just finished Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap on the #Sega Master System and got a #RetroAchievements hardcore mastery to boot!
Was great to play it properly finally. An early #Metroidvania that holds up well today. Mildly janky, as expected, but nothing major. Looks great!

I have glimpsed the top of the mountain... they should have sent a poet, etc.

Weird how physical exercise has gone from being a nerd's kryptonite to a nerd's catnip thanks to the data spewed out by our watches.

I just finished Bulk Slash on the #SegaSaturn, a colourful mech game where you pilot a robot/plane around various environments completing objectives. You pick up "Navigators" who give you various abilities.
Each level is slightly different: some indoors, some in space, but all a lot of fun!
