Day 7 or is it 6 or even 8? Garden immaculate, new pendant lights fitted after being in boxes for 6 months, Bedroom furniture tops re- sanded and varnished, all shower chrome now gleaming, all relatives around the work skyped, 7k run in the showers completed...… you get the picture. You probably all have similar tales to tell. Now what do I do? Of course I can pick up the guitar and try again, learn Spanish, write that book that is in us all.... but I just really want parkrun back.

So much so I have taken to setting it down in a song. Trouble is I can't write music so I have borrowed one from a well known 60s figure by the name of Zimmerman. Love you Bob.

The paths are quiet now, walkers can get past

No marshals waving, urging you to go fast

Yonder stands the start line in the morning sun

It just makes you want to run

There is no parkrun to make me smile

It’s all over now, for a while

The woodland trail is now just for amblers, it don’t make sense

That’s where I speed up, by that fence

The parking spaces in the near empty street

Just show the desolation is complete

My only thought on this last lonely mile

Is it’s all over now, for a while
