#ParkRun 32 done. Bethlem is significantly 'different' from our normal (very very flat and easy) course. So I always sort of dread it as I know I'm going to struggle. But equally I know I'm going to get more out of it and the day I manage to get round without stopping will be a day of national celebration and marching bands. Today was not that day, but OF COURSE I feel amazing.

If I can serve as an inspiration/warning to anyone..... If you're in two minds about getting out and about and going for a run - JUST DO IT. I promise its worth it. Even if it's not a PB. Even if you don't absolutely crush it. It'll be worth it. You'll feel better - more positive. You'll blow away the cobwebs and some of the negativity. And if like me you struggle greatly with the Black Dog, it'll do wonders that pretty much nothing else can.

For those that manage, I salute you.

For your efforts..... A fucking awful picture my wife took of me. I look like I need to be put down or into some kind of home.
