Sit Down at Portishead

 

Clevedon

 We had a mini break down at the caravan in March 2024 and one of our go to places to visit is Clevedon - it's only half an hour drive from Severn Beach and just one of the prettiest places.

parkrun - March 2024

 In January 2024, having got ready for a gardening job one Saturday morning which was subsequently cancelled due to weather, I decided, as I was dressed for being outdoors anyway, to head to Catton parkrun.  Cousin Amy was a very keen parkrunner and had been telling me about it for ages so I thought I'd finally give it a go.   Little did I know that it was going to become a complete obsession very quickly!  

I was very nervous - didn't really know what to expect.  But serendipitously, Hannah, one of my gardening customers, was there manning a cake stall as she was raising money for her marathon run that year, so she took me under her wing and gave me cake too.  Happy days!   Fully indoctrinated from the very first!

Catton ...

And here I was caught on camera and on the Catton parkrun facebook page!

Severn Bridge ...

There are hundreds of parkrun events every Saturday morning all over the world so, wherever I am, I can find one to go to.   Severn Bridge is the nearest to the caravan in Bristol, so I get a proper fix when I'm away too.

So, bearing all this in mind, I decided to take the plunge and do the Couch to 5k programme too - it really has become an obsession!  And I really do enjoy it, despite what my post-run expressions below might say!
