Pink parkrun

It was Pink Week at my local parkrun yesterday, in aid of breast cancer research. We were asked to wear pink, and there were two bobble hats up for grabs for the pinkest outfits. Guess who got one? Yep, and happily, the other went to my pink sister, also called Sarah. We run together on 5KYourWay day - the last parkrun in the month for anyone affected by cancer. The organisers didn't know any of this...

And... my running has turned a bit of a corner since my illness, it's taken nearly two years, but I'm pretty much back where I was before , and in fact even a little faster, so happy happy Curly!!
