Really struck by the table in Krugman's latest.

Forget the comparison with NY (which is also striking). Florida has 1/3 the population of the UK, and twice the traffic fatalities, and almost twice the homicides.

Did a recce yesterday and the beach is beautiful with solid sand. The wind might be interesting but the scenery is gorgeous

Hafan Pwllheli parkrun. An out and back totally on sand (and surf). Flew through the first half then realised the wind was in your face for the second half and it destroyed me ๐Ÿ˜‚. Rupert loved it ๐Ÿถ

Quite pleased with this. Run to lampposts on a 7.5% hill then back down. Go to the next lamppost each time. 13 posts to the top โ›ฐ๏ธ

We are trying to do the top 10 hardest ones so we went for the hills. But the scenery was absolutely stunning. Youโ€™ll love it

On of the toughest parkruns in the UK at Durlston. Spectacular scenery, very loud marshals and 200m of climb! First dog and first in my old man category. A fantastic event ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Normanby Hall parkrun on a cold and miserable day. Huge thanks to the volunteers who cheered us all on. Then we got a dog sausage in the cafe afterwards. Rupert was ecstatic ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
