I've missed a few Parkruns due to travelling on Saturdays recently. I'm currently in Llandudno, reminiscing many summer holidays spent here when I was a child, visiting my grandparents. And I managed to run one of my few bucket list runs this morning - 9km around the Great Orme.

It takes me 10 mins to drive to my nearest Parkrun.
So... I'm going to try Oasis tickets till 9:10 - get to Parkrun starting line for 9:23 and hopefully beat the tail walkers to get a official time.

Trigger warning: socks.
I have been unable to run for a week and counting because, well, I went out in the wrong socks.
Last week, I got up, got ready and headed off down the road. It was after only maybe a quarter of a mile that I noticed the skin around my Achilles felt funny. I then realised that I'd forgotten to put my running socks on, and was just wearing the little ankle socks that I wear during the summer when I'm in shorts throughout the day.
No problems, I thought, and carried on for a few miles.
It was only later when I was getting into the shower that my missus exclaimed in shock about the blood all over the back of my legs. I was equally taken aback when I looked myself. Massive gashes on the backs of both feet, simply from going for a short jog in my everyday socks!
I've been in pain since then. Even just walking about! I've had to be barefoot (which as an autistic guy I hate) and just had to wait it out. It's still too bad to go out running.
So yeah, wear the right socks, kids!
