I haven't run since lockdown, but in 2018 my children started doing these 5k weekly parkruns with my wife's auntie. Soon enough I ended up going and getting right into it, lol. My first time was 29mins 29 seconds and I was almost physically sick at the end which spurred me on to get fitter.

After that I ran 2-3 times a week and got my time down to 24mins 04 seconds (official parkrun time) and 23mins 45 seconds (unofficially on a 5k non parkrun) before the lockdown was enforced.

I am hoping to get back into it when my kids go back to school.
Also congrats on a time 3 hours 33mins, that's a good time for someone who's only recently started running.

I am hopeless at dates. Within the last decade, for sure. Ten years maybe?

Literally woke up one morning & declared myself vegetarian. Was never too keen on meat though I ate it, but studying factory farming online made the decision for me. I am not vegan & I see no harm in an animal having a nice life & then being speedily killed for its meat (though I couldn’t do this), but I don’t want any part of animal cruelty.

Vegans are hyper-judgmental, but many farmers make a living out of raising cattle, etc. so I try to stay out of that debate.

It just occurred to me that you may be vegan?

yep lol

Try to draw something next time.

I respect anyone who is vegan, but it’s way too complicated for me. No wool, no leather, no sugar. Just to name 3 things vegans avoid.

Vegans on Twitter are awful. Never come across such a sanctimonious bunch.

All I know is if they are using gasoline to power their car then they ain't a true vegan. Think of the dinosaurs!

Ha. I was thinking this morning on my walk as to whether every vegan really is vegan. I bet a ton of them don’t know sugar is not vegan.

Try the Twitter knitting community. Those people are total savages.

Okay, so 13 miles (more or less) is the length of Manhattan north to south. Amazing you could run that in 90 minutes. You’re faster than Über!

(Nice job!)

Adam was vegan. Eve was made from one of his ribs, so...animal cruelty.

Thanks Stirchley. Will take that comment on board re. Uber. Might be a business idea there somewhere.
