Probably very late to the party but I have to thank Oxford Stand Up To Racism for introducing me to the awesome Meryl Streek. Can’t wait for the Love Music Hate Racism gig in January!

Oxford Half this morning and #Runna training plan comes up trumps again. A new PB of 01:31:17

Plus six other PBs for 10miles, 10k, 5miles, 5k, 1mile and 1,500metres

You can still sponsor me for #Run1000miles here givestar.io/gs/2025-half...

I surpassed my #run1000miles target at Grove Fields #parkrun this morning. My birthday weekend too so a double celebration 🥳

Sun is out 😎 I’m too hot now

Covers coming off at The Oval. Glad I layered up and brought my brolly ☔️

A beautiful run along The Ridgeway this morning followed by a day of meetings in ‘that London’

Poorly thought through reference to sticking to your guns I think rather than anything more malign but it does show that our two-party system means that the smaller parties tend to lack the resources to prevent such cock-ups

Something that I’ve had the *privilege* of doing for over 40 years that still gives me hope (however misplaced!)

Lovely #Parkrun in #Winchester on Saturday… and always fabulous to catch up with friends in the process

Absolutely love the Arsenal fans protest against the club's Visit Rwanda deal. The genius 'Visit Tottenham' campaign is a great way to encourage a political discussion #GunnersForPeace

I was supposed to be taking it easy at #parkrun this morning – still recovering from two half marathons in quick succession – but got all carried away! Always enjoy #Knowsley because it’s friendly, it’s in a lovely park, it’s flat(ish) and the route map draws the picture of a face!

Lovely #Parkrun at Gunnersbury Park this morning despite a horrific hangover. Wine-tasting fourteen different wines got a little out of hand last night if I’m completely honest 🥴

Two weeks on from the Reading Half, today was the White Horse Half in Oxfordshire. I’ve been running with an Apple Watch ⌚️ since 2014 and this was a half-marathon PB at 1:35:58 over all that time. Absolutely delighted with the results from using the #Runna coaching app
#Run1000miles total: 320

Just got home from the Reading Half. Very, very happy with not one but four PBs in one race 🏃‍♂️ 🥇 😃 Fastest 5m, 10k, 10m and a half marathon time of 1:37:07 which is slightly better than I was hoping for. Nearly 470km (29%) into my #run1000miles target 👍

Delighted that I passed the 25% milestone on my journey to #run1000miles this year

First ride out in my new Salamon Spectur2, my race shoe for the #ReadingHalf and #WhiteHorseHalf. Amazingly comfortable and boy are they fast. My supposed “easy run” went out the window!

Sadly, our local #Parkrun was cancelled again due to flooding. I managed to log a few miles over the weekend regardless and I’m now nearly 20km ahead of my target to #run1000miles this year in aid of @hopenothate.org.uk

Lovely long run that finished in the dark

In the northwest to visit the in-laws. Sadly the local Parkruns were understandably cancelled so my milestone run will have to wait.

Ran up to Stadt Moers Park, home to #Knowsley #Parkrun which is probably the most beautiful urban park in the country

Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🏻 🎁
Just been for my Christmas morning run (one lockdown tradition I’m happy to keep going!) and now having tea before getting the turkey on. I hope you all have a fabulous day, whatever you are doing

What could be more Christmassy than a Bailey’s doughnut to accompany my cup of tea?

Power finally back on after 18 hours. Not cracking the red wine out at 3:30 this afternoon as it started to get dark was a real challenge!

Absolutely brilliant Advent calendar from Pact Coffee. Just savouring a beautiful Honduran light roast… I get the distinct feeling that this is going to be something to get very geeky about!
