Running thread

This morning's Parkrun at Alexandra Park completed in 30:34.
My first time at this Parkrun. Very friendly marshalls, beautiful park and perfectly flat course.
I've done that a few times. It's a good course in wet weather as there is no grass or mud to navigate, just sometimes a few puddles.

I did Sale Waterpark again, clocking 31:06. We should join forces at one sometime soon.
 
Been on a really long recovery after breaking my shoulder socket, nearly 4 yrs ago. Keep getting muscle injuries on that side of the body (think I am not fully balanced), but managed to get to 7.25 miles in an hour on Sunday. Not quite where I was at but its getting there. Aiming for 10 miles by the end of July (not in that time) and then look at half marathons in Sept / October.
 
I hope I'm ok posting this in here...

On the 6th of July, I'm running 25km as part of the Peak District Challenge in memory of my baby boy, Teo. Teo was born with a congenital heart defect in May last year but passed away during heart surgery the day after he was born. It's been a such a difficult year. Running has kept me sane at times and we've had so much support from a charity called Tiny Tickers. I've been wanting to do something in Teo's name for some time and booked flights back to England at the start of July. By chance, my brother and brother-in-law had signed up to walk 75km as part of this challenge the first weekend we're back so I've decided to join them and raise money for such a really good cause.

We set up a Justgiving page today (link below) and have had an overwhelming response already. I just wanted to share it with my fellow runners here on Bluemoon, not only for any donations you would like to give but also for the support. I'm going to need to find my hill legs because Valencia's so flat and I've only given myself a month to train!

Thanks from Teo's Team - Justgiving (I'm Matt for those that don't follow me on Strava)
A massive thanks to those that have donated. We've raised almost £4,500 (including gift aid) which is incredible and so much more than I could have imagined just 4 weeks ago when I signed up!

Arrived back in the UK yesterday and have the run this Saturday morning. Weather's not looking too bad in Bakewell but went out for a run early this morning and the cold certainly woke me up. Definitely not summer here! And when did it get light at 04:30 in the morning???
