Greetings and solidarity from France - so was hoping to run my 68th parkrun on my 68th birthday but thats off so have been doing some exercises at home on bike etc while my calf and back niggles disappear. This morning , decide to restart C25K programme ( for about the nth time ) week 1 on the 270m road in front of my house - 60 secs run, 90 secs walk for 30 mins - sun shining and all went well until last 60 sec run when my calf muscle tweaked and had to hobble back. Dark cloud came over and thought 😡 "thats it - I am giving up running" BUT the sun came out again 😃 and thought "are all the front line workers giving up ? - NO !" so my new target is 100 parkruns ! 👊 Hope you are all safe and well enough to do some exercise

Good luck with reaching 100 park runs. That will be an admirable achievement.

Nice photo too.
