Itty bitty rest day run then volunteering at junior parkrun. One of our young people got their 100th volunteer credit today! #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #juniorparkrun #highvisheroes
Legorunbuddy on a grey morning at the end of my run. Selfie in my high viz, marshaling at junior parkrun. Don't know what my hair was doing, windy and cold. Itty bitty rest day run purely for the streak

Little run on my way to junior parkrun for run director duties. Such a beautiful day. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #mentalhealth #juniorparkrun #highvisheroes #loveparkrun
Legorunbuddy in front of equipment box at junior parkrun View down under train bridge on way to junior parkrun, the train line runs along side of course so sometimes our junior parkrunners get a train toot as they run.

We want to encourage everyone at parkrun to experience the joy of volunteering, but we also don’t want anyone to feel pressured into volunteering.

Run with a friend before volunteer duties for junior parkrun. Remembering I DO always feel better for getting out. The lack of sleep at the moment is making it hard though. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running ##runwithfriends #parkrun #highvisheroes
Picture of our shadows stood on bridge at Eatonpark. Our legs look VERY long. View from bride over boating lake. Blue skies, morning sun. The wind was bitterly cold though. Legorunbuddy and a little troll. Being blown over as they stood by rotunda. Last nights sleep. Am averaging 4 hours a night for last week. 5 for if I look at the last month but none of it is continuous. I generally function quite well on not much sleep but struggling at the moment. Hence lack of running.

Junior parkrun in the sunshine this morning, M helping out too. Rest of weekend has been drafting a PAP letter & wondering why life has to be this much of a battle. #juniorparkrun #highvisheroes #legorunbuddy #keepgoing

I did indeed feel irritable.. so I went for a run. 4 miles, then a quick shower & change before run director duties at junior parkrun. Both the running & volunteering helped my mood 🥰 #running2keepthecrazyaway #legporunbuddy #running #parkrun #highvisheroes
Garmin screenshot helpfully telling me I might be irritable. I absolutely was irritable and very nearly stayed in bed. But dragged myself out for an easy run. A picture of my wrist with garmin show run stats, plus my Notch bracelet and legorunbuddy on my hand. Behind the pavement and the verge.

A base run, tail walking, which was VERY much a run for junior parkrun, then a mile bimble. I still need to a body circuit workout.... #running2keepthecrazyaway #running #legorunbuddy #highvisheroes #garmin
Screenshot of garmin stats for the day. It shows a half hour 'base' run. Then 2km junior parkrun, and a mile walk. Plus my resting heart rate and this weeks intensity minutes. Legorunbuddy and legorunkitten sat on the start sign next to a pile of cones. We were just about to set up for Juniot parkrun.

5km before volunteer duties at junior parkrun. Introducing new #legorunbuddy and realising if I go out & do another 3.8km I will hit 100 miles for the month... I am going to end up doing that this evening aren't I? 🤣 #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #juniorparkrun #running #highvisheroes
New #legorunbuddy she has light purple trousers, dark purple top that says runbuddy, blue hair and her own black cat! She is stood on platform for zip slide at the park with my can of diet coke behind her and parkrun equipment behind. Plus a bag full of crisps that a fellow volunteer had sourced for small as they are the only ones he will eat and my local shops had run out. Garmin stats for August.. showing 157.1 km which obviously i really need to round up to 160.8 to make 100 miles...
