Clowning Around

I did say something about fancy dress and plodding the other day didn't I, and so here's the evidence . .

When the first photo was taken I was so pleased to see the photographer, Kath Adamson, that I quite forgot that I'd painted a sad face on . .


but by the time this shot was taken, in the final stretch of the 5k parkrun, I didn't need to put on any kind of face . .


thanks, Kath, for the photos, and that's way too many photos of me for one month . . I'm off in a moment to Fringford, or Candleford if you prefer, in Oxfordshire, where for the 2nd year in a row there's a record entry for the Ladies only 10k. What a difference having theracephotographer come along makes!

More from Oxfordshire later today . .

That Looks Better

To set the balance right after the photo on Tuesday, here's how you'll usually see me, with camera, and smiling! These were taken by Sussex Sports Photography whilst I was having fun at the Abingdon Marathon the other weekend . .


This Sunday I'm taking photos at Alchester AC's Candleford Canter 10k - for Ladies only, sorry Chaps - and hoping the weather's kind for us all . .

Before that though, I'll be plodding around the Bedfont Lakes parkrun, in fancy dress, for Halloween, so watch this space . .

My Running Matters . .


Yep, another fresh start! I do want to keep this blog up to date, otherwise what's the point?

So to celebrate the change of blog name, and to start to look forward, here's a photo of me taken at Hull parkrun last Saturday by Dave Gowans . .


And if you think this isn't a pretty sight (and it's not good is it, although I blame my bum bag for the unfortunate waist) then be grateful I've shown the image from the first lap and not the second!


I've used this photo to show all those runners who don't like their photo when I've taken it, that it happens to all of us, even those who are normally behind the camera . .
