Running won’t fix everything. But it’ll fix something.

It won’t replace therapy.

It won’t cure depression.

But when your thoughts are racing, your chest is tight, and you feel like the world’s closing in?

Running gives you space. Clarity. A rhythm. A reason to breathe again.

Stone and silence at Somerton Deep Lock—descending through time on still water. The canal holds its breath.

Typical #dukeofexpedition sitting waiting for a group to appear hearing them before you can see them. Now a run of expeditions 8 in total bronze, silver and gold.

Still cruising the cut. Stayed last night north of lower heyford and now on the way to Thrupp. We guess there were floods in the winter

Back cruising on the cut on NB Hawksmoor. After weeks of warm sun the wind and rain have arrived so a short cruise from marina. Time for life to slow down to 3 miles an hour.
