Back to parkrun duties this morning. With an early morning gate bagging [none found] jog after a warm up, and walk home, a 16 mile total day. Still 55 miles to chip away at on run/walk ratio over this next week.

gate bingo
choose day
A 10 mile day. Started with an early gates run, another one found; only a dozen to go. Off to Jersey for two weeks so seemed timely to reassess the year and training so far.
I have decided to postpone the BGR attempt another year; can’t get to the Lake District to train in this crucial month … Another year older, another year harder though! New date 22 June 2024 [reboot 500 days countdown in early Feb 2023 ]. So to find another big challenge for next year? Coincidently 500 days from tomorrow is my birthday next year, and a Saturday.

gates
Jogged a warm up very early morning, then 16 miles jog/walking, searching for gates. Getting a bit annoying now as we have searched the remaining few locations two or three times now without luck. We also found out completely by chance that they’ve added some? Then a walk cool down.
With jog/walk to/from coaching in the evening, a 26 mile day. Legs tired.

rough tracks
A 10 mile day with parkrun duties. Closing in on the gates with only a dozen or so to go. Some public paths rarely used; should ask if gps tracking websites use data to provide evidence of continuing use of rights of way?

hoorah
An early morning start. A few little hops of small mileage; just happy to be back running again. Some more gates found, with now only about 14 to find from 196. A very rare Saturday with no parkrun; our event cancelled.

first gate
An early start and after much trouble we finally located gate one! In the middle of nowhere. Noted that I was breathing hard? Just a short walk home after parkrun duties.

jubilee sat
An early morning jog and then some gate hunting. A farther frantic jog to try to get to Gunpowder parkrun on time [I started late]. Rain. Lots of walking, pie n mash at Waltham Abbey, and more walking in the heat of the day looking for the gates we missed earlier [only 20ish to go out of nearly 200].
Jumped on tube after 28 miles total, which always feels like a failure; not getting home under your own steam. Exactly 54 miles done so far in June leaving 400 miles to do in the next 26 days.

100 not out
A fun day. Some gate hunting. Wanstead Flats parkrun 11th anniversary and my 100th parkrun, at last. A free 5K at the Hackney Half festival. Some beer and walking.

A 10 mile day. First time failing to find any gates. Still 40 hidden somewhere. parkrun duties and home.
