Last 2024 highlight… activating Fort Road parkrun back in the summer. In some ways easier than a β€œnormal” parkrun (certainly for land owner permission!) but in others more tricky. One thing seems clear though, custodial events do make a positive difference.

Just got student feedback from my Epi I class (very first time in-person teaching!) and it was across the board incredibly positive. Probably a quarter of the class commented specifically about liking my energy, but my favorite comment said I'm "a bit much." *Cackles* Oh, if only they knew.
