Soaking wet at the #greatsouthrun last month. What a brilliant event.

Managed 1.21 for a club bronze standard. It's good being old.

Me (in red vest) at the end of the Shelton Striders 10K yesterday. A brilliant event. Chip timed, really good T-shirt, fast flat course. Did my fastest 10K for a few years. 47.56. Happy with that. And fast enough for a club MV50 bronze standard.

The last few days. Parkrun at gorgeous Wollaton Hall, football at Chesterfield vs Crawley and the brilliant news that Connor Chaplin has signed for Pompey on loan for the rest of the season.

Happy days!

No Walk In The Park 5K on Saturday was my first race as a 50 year old. I managed to get a club bronze standard for my time of 23.47 for Clowne Road Runners.

Excellent event put on by North Derbyshire Running Club (my second claim club).

Before, and during, Donfaster 5K which was stupidly windy. But a great event.

And a picture sent to me of one of my prints framed up.

A few random photos from the last week.

Me and Sal went to a lovely wedding in Scotland, then had a few days in the lake district.

And I continued building my Lego space base.

The cats joined me after my run this morning, for a little sit down in the shade.

Last Sunday was ace. 38.47 at the Sinfin Five Mile race.

Fast enough to get me a club bronze standard.

PB remains 32.46, which I did in 1998. That's literally last century.

A few April things.

Running with girlfriend Sal before doing Rother Valley parkrun.

Watching Pompey draw at Sheffield Wednesday.

Getting a 22.54 time at Alvaston, my fastest parkrun for 8 years while Sal got an all-time parkrun PB of 26.55.

Doing an art sale at Sorbo Lounge.

Getting a nice course PB at No Walk In The Park 5K on Saturday.

Very happy as I'd missed out on a course PB by just a few seconds at the midweek Community 5K a few days before.

23.00 and 23.21 for the two events.

PB remains 20.45 but I'm older now. 😄

Today I ran in a vest for the first time this year. It was so lovely out there.

I did also wear shorts. Should probably point that out.

I don't wear a bra, but if I did.......
