italy

I'm not a parkrun tourist. I've done a handful of different ones over the years, but I've never gone chasing a tally the way some people do. Still, Sandy and I had talked for ages about doing an "iconic" parkrun abroad, the kind of plan that comes up over a pint and then goes nowhere for two years. When we finally sat down and decided, I think I got the better of him. I pushed hard for Mura di Lucca, five kilometres around the old city walls of Lucca in Tuscany, and he didn't put up much of a fight.
