Its just as well I handed back to Michelle for April as technical hitches and a break means I'm 6 days late! It wasn't me having nothing to smile about and here are just some of my reasons to be cheerful this week:
1) Parkrun tourism
Thanks to my son running a race at Threkeld I managed to make it to my 6th out of 10 Cumbrian parkruns as part of my RMR Challenge. A lovely there and back again route along a disused railway. I chatted to some other lovely tourists and even realised I was in the same race as Carl Bell one of the current top UK fell runners!
2) Proud Mum #1
My son's race was the opening event of this year's FRA Juniors with my son having moved up an age category. Despite being one of the youngest he wasn't last and finished really strongly:
3) Proud Mum #2
There was no rest for my son as on the Sunday he tackled the Elterwater race up Silver Howe with slopes like this:
4) Sherlock
This little whirlwind is growing up so fast and shows us all such love and affection:

This left him in 14th place out of 41 for the competition despite again being one of the youngest. Next year he is aiming for top 10!
