The numbers running Parkrun are just amazing. It was a new Tuggeranong record last Saturday, I don't know how they all fit on the path! The total number of ACT parkrunners was a record too. Parkrun (Gungahlin) is my plan C: if one week I were to miss Thursday night track I will run Customs on Friday; if I miss both I will probably go and run Gungahlin. But it is great to see running booming in Canberra, in Australia, and around the world wherever parkruns spread to.

But: Why music is my biggest passion.



So thanks Ewen for my (belated and unexpected) Christmas present, a book about music. As it turns out, I like reading too.
Plans for today: do some reading, listen to some music, do some running, and go and see Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
