Beside the Canal, and Wythenshawe parkrun #612

 
March 26, and a daily walk by the Bridgewater Canal reveals a subtle greening of the tree-lined waterway.

A training boat is often moored near the ginnel that leads to our street.

March 29, and this is my only picture from parkrun #612. Some 20 minutes after I finished, Sue came strolling home in 50 minutes or so, with Alyson and Freddy in tow. Freddy's refusal to run was the excuse for a modest time...

The courtyard was full and the coffee van was doing a roaring trade. Conditions were dry and fast, so there were some happy runners with good times. Full results are here. As the oldest man taking part, I was delighted to finish in position 186 out of the 352 participants.
