These last 10 days have been tough. Tiredness, motivation, work and family life means I’m behind on the target of 50 half marathons in 2025. There’ve been moments where I’ve wanted to give up. There’s going to be tougher days ahead, but by this weekend I will be back on track.

Really kind gesture from Serious Sport to donate these tops for my 52 Half Marathons next year
A massive thanks to the generous team at Serious Sport for the Wick running kit. These will be worn on ALL 52 of my half marathons next year to raise money for Hampton Wick Royal CC

First run for a while - bloody overnights! Still, pretty pleased with time… it’s a half marathon not a sprint. #hitting50

There seems to be a “thing” about sharing nonsense from X on here and saying “look what’s happening over there”. I chose to bin off X to get away from it!

Deciding not to run on Sunday has brought it home how tough a half marathon a week is going to be in 2025. #hitting50

Absolutely love the battle between bowler and batsman. Nothing wrong with a few well-chosen words. Siraj v Labuschagne an example of when a team sport becomes a fight between two individuals.
