Lovely lovely #ParkRun, as per. Cold and not easy, but affirming and joyous. Loads of people and I saw loads of people I knew. Quite weird when you're a me and you've sort of cultivated this internal persona of someone who (when not on the Internet) is a loner, a rebellious lone-wolf type, and then you've got a bunch of people cheering your name. Felt like I might be actually part of some kind of community? Or possibly I'm just imagining it. Yeah! Loads of people just cheer for me by name wherever I go! Yeah, actually that must be it. No it was really very lovely and I'm genuinely quite fond of some of those guys. I suppose this is what happens when you get older and your kids grow up and you don't have those sort of work-based relationships. You connect with other like-minded people and find friendship in unexpected places. I feel like I'm waxing poetical a bit, but it was just a nice morning. Feel great, laughed with some people I liked, went through a shared trauma/challenge with a thousand other people. Urgh. I regret to inform you I might actually be..... what is this emotion?......'ow you say?.... errrr.... huppy? Ploppy? Snoopy? Happy? Well it's good whatever it is. Strong recommend. 5 stars on Trip Advisor. Power to you, friends. May your weekends be as magnificent as you are, you bloody ruddy gorgeous utter bastards. X
