Madison pacing me in a local parkrun
For the past few years, I’ve been conscious of my poor level of fitness. As a father of three very active kids, it was getting harder and harder to keep up with them.
A daily regime of religiously walking 10,000 steps over the past 3-4 years has helped slightly, but I still had a long way to go.
Through a series of circumstances, a few months ago I found myself standing at the start line of a local 5km parkrun. Parkruns are a fantastic initiative that enables people to run, walk (or in my case hobble) for 5km early on a Saturday morning. You register for a barcode and are able to track your times, giving an incentive to continually improve. Best of all it’s free!

Today may not have worked out as planned.
