As an introduction:
I'm a doctor working as an anaesthetist in the 🇬🇧 UK with too many extracurricular hobbies - 📸 photography,🤺 fencing, 🚴cycling, 🏏cricket, ⚽ football, 🚀 space etc.
As a medic, I'm interested in airway management, regional anaesthesia and simulation teaching.

#Fencing tonight: the one where quarte, counter quarte, septime, prime disengage riposte was actually the correct answer. After 20 years, it was finally the answer.
Sure, if the footwork was better, it wouldn't have been needed....

Beautiful day in the park before the weather blew in.
The DOMS is real.
The 21km of running this week is probably a record for me, plus the fencing session too!

First time I've run 10km - definitely feeling easier to get up and go, and the 10km easy pace is the same pace as my first full has 5km was earlier this year.
Who knew that training makes it better?

Easy run today before the end of C25Km this weekend.

Easy run today before the end of C25Km this weekend.
C25KM run 29 done (end of week 10).
Followed every session from my Garmin and I have already run a few 5k sessions. The consistency has been the good thing for me, forcing myself up and out 3 times a week and feeling much better for it.

@benaaronovitch.bsky.social Is there a "Rivers of London" Location list anywhere? Thinking about planning a trip down to the Big Smoke with a few friends who enjoy your books!

If the person who ordered the lightning storm would kindly own up and help read some emergency bedtime stories, that'd be swell.

Going through my attic and found my copy of the cheese and onion (Ohcm) signed by Alan Fletcher aka Dr Karl Kennedy from that neighbours programme.
Apparently it's what med students did back in 2008.

A C25Km run after a tough weekend at work.
Glad of the time to decompress outside of ye olde concrete box and get some air in the lungs and some time by the water.

The C25Km continues with week 7 now over and the successful long run of 6.1km.
I'm not sure I expected to get to this before the end of three months. Losing half a stone has helped too!
Might end up doing parkrun soon!

Week 6 of Couch to 5km. Run 16 of the plan. 2 miles. Relatively easy now. Lesson learned: don't do the run after a long day at work without fueling properly. Lesson 2: it's ok to have a lunch break

I cannot fathom the dread that CIG community managers felt pulling into work today. It has to be exhausting when CIG seemingly feels compelled to treat good will as a currency to spend and not something to foster

Seeing the air ambulance up close brings a lot of memories back for me.
I hope the person they flew for is doing okay!

Run 8 of C25km; Post work and about two weeks of broken sleep.
Found following a Easy run to 15mins impossible this evening; couldn't get going without feeling like I was maxing HR even on flat.
Turned the session into 2min30 Run / 2min30 Walk repeats.
Not every run goes to plan.

That EHRC guidance is laughably bad and totally unworkable. Will we see the introduction of a state appointed genital inspector, who cross references what’s in your boxers/knickers or whatever with your papers.

Sadly, we are once again in a place where this mashup rings out and isn't heard well enough.
It would be lovely if everyone could be nice to each other. Pleasant even.

Couch to 5km. Run 2 completed a la Garmin.
Not quite regressed to my 14 yo self being shouted around a rugby pitch by teachers.
Not quite.
Perhaps I shouldn't plan this run after the on call next time! 🫠
