When we say that transphobes want to eliminate trans and non-binary people from public life, it's not hyperbole, it's backed up by their actions. Threatening legal action against #parkrun a free-to-attend, volunteer-run event which encourages people to move their bodies, and if they can't do that then to get outside and volunteer. All because, why? They have so much hate inside themselves that they can't stand it if a trans or non-binary person completes 5k. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/parkrun-threatened-with-legal-action-over-transgender-inclusion/ar-AA21yg1A

UK transphobia, call to action Sensitive
The American #FarRight #AllianceDefendingFreedom, designated a hate group by the #SouthernPovertyLawCentre, has now come over to the UK and, emboldened by the climate of rampant transphobia over here right now, is threatening to bring legal action against various sporting groups that divide participants by gender rather than "biological sex" https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/great-britain-english-people-british-lisburn-b2963519.html This includes Parkrun, fun, non-competitive volunteer run events that you can run or walk. Yes you get your times recorded but no one gives a shit about them, I know I don't, their own bullshit justifications about "protecting female athletes" don't even make sense.

New(ish) #parkrun in Bridgwater (sneaky NENDY) now done. It has a very “new to parkrun” vibe, lots of walkers and young families. It’s also a PB potential course IMHO. I did a sub 9min/mile first mile 😱 then the wheels fell off and I hung on (walked up the hill on the second of three laps).

Back to my home #parkrun today. Warm in the sun, cold when not, drying underfoot and felt like a good turnout.

ParkRun 33 completed this morning, shaved six seconds off the last run. There was an individual treating the event like he was going for gold at the Olympics who barged through at one point (genuinely don’t get that kind of ParkRunner) but otherwise an enjoyable experience. Need to get the cadence down a bit though - twice in January, not at all in February. #ParkRun #EdenProject

Went up to Cotsford Fields for #parkrun this morning. I'm nursing a poorly knee so I volunteered as tail walker. Managed to get my highest ever finish position (40th)! It was a really nice course with an idyllic stretch along the cliffs overlooking the sea. Very small, very friendly, hope to return and actually run it some time.

With Victoria Dock #Parkrun having recently been permanently cancelled, I found this dig into the data - of other parkrun events that have permanently closed - an interesting read. https://www.richardgower.com/blog/permanentlycancelledparkruns

Another ParkRun in the bag today at the Eden Project and a minute off the time from two weeks ago puts me under 29 minutes which I’m exceedingly happy with. Apparently this was my ParkRun no. 32 (could have sworn it was higher but hey ho). Can I compete 18 more this year? I can certainly try. Soon it’ll be time to start running midweek as well and maybe train for a 10k. Maybe. Hmm… #ParkRun
