Bath Skyline for me today. Nearly 3 mins off my PB of a few months ago. 
Felt rubbish from the start, it’s a long walk from the car park to the start line (around a mile) and felt tired and achy even trying to jog to warm up. I have eaten rubbish for the last couple of weeks, I’m blaming that

I read your first line and thought you’d beaten your PB by 3 mins and wondered what the Felt rubbish from the start, it’s a long walk from the car park to the start line (around a mile) and felt tired and achy even trying to jog to warm up.

That explains why I waved at you at Pomphrey Hill this morning and you didn't respond!

Steady run this morning, couldn't manage to run the whole thing again, had to walk after the hill on the second and third lap. I'll do it one day if it kills me...
I did my first Park run yesterday. Trentham Gardens. I only did it as my friend was over from Dubai and his family do it so I went with them.
I had been on the beer and had a horrific sleep the night before so felt terrible. My mate is fast and I did my second fastest ever mile according to Strava (6:54 mile) trying to keep up with him at the start. Very silly!
24:35 overall time. Considering the state I was in I think I did ok.

That would certainly have caused issues. Credit to whoever looks after this stretch of path, but the tree had been cleared by Wednesday I’m told.

The biggest misconeption with parkrun is that it's only for serious runners
I don't think that is a common misconception. They even got rid of the timings to try and get the serious runners to relax a bit.Work with a load of serious runners and the idea of doing a parkrun to them would be baffling.

I think as of 9pm last night, 60 out of 82 South West parkruns had been cancelled, number likely to rise further this morning.Plan B was to run a 5k in the local gym chain but they've closed all their centres in the area too.
Plan C is to sit on my arse all day instead as I can't see Bristol Rovers v Bolton being on.
Surprisingly not many cancelled over here in the East, if any. The National Trust often close their parks in heavy wind bit I don’t think is due to hit us as hard as the South West.
I was pacing 26 minutes, quite fun as it took my mind off how wet and miserable it was! Used pacepro on my Garmin, works well as it adjusts target pace for hills, if you want negative splits, etc but the screen is way too busy. Was one second fast in the end.
Felt a bit too early for Christmas cake so went for Victoria Sponge in the café.

I'm still in bed, everything local cancelled
Will go for a run sometime today
Everything local to me in Bournemouth was cancelled today. Except the one I couldn't get to given the time I had available. I was shocked, to say the least, to see the Durlston Country Park parkrun hadn't advised that it was cancelled. Surprised to see it went ahead, too. 85 finishers listed on their results page. Given its location, on a clifftop sticking out into Poole Bay, and with at least part of the course through fairly tall trees, I assumed it would be one of the more likely venues to cancel due to weather. They must be made of sterner stuff out on the Isle of Purbeck...Will go for a run sometime today
