Wincing at a @herring1967.bsky.social whale-bone-in-a-penis podcast story at 5am and grabbing my crotch … just as two horrified women walk past.

Popped over to Dulwich Parkrun for a fitness test and aimed for sub-22. EVERYTHING went wrong. Came home in 22:28 and got absolutely scorched by an under-10 in a #CrystalPalace jacket to complete the experience. 😭 #ukrunchat #runchat #running

My 3-year-old just asked me if I wanted to play with her yo-yo and then told me I’d have to pay her! 🤣

A race organiser has cancelled two races within a month. The first was due to “low numbers” and the second one “due to circumstances out of their control.”
Just be honest and admit it costs too much for a Northern company to put on events in London!

PB at an XC race, lovely pub across the road (Cock Inn, Cockfosters), #Millwall winning, no kids or missus (they are having a girls night and I’m banned from the flat), both horse bets have won. THIS is the best Saturday ever!

Going to compete in my first XC race in about 3 years on Saturday. Last time I was barged off the course, causing me to severely roll my ankle. #ukrunchat #runchat #running

So, I see on the Hackney & Leyton League site that Bow Badgers are playing Bbow Bbadgers next week in the cup. Might head over with a few cans of Tyskie for that one. As a former player of both teams, do I have to switch sides at halftime? 🤣 #football

I went down The Lane market for the first time in 35 years.
It used to be heaving and you could find anything you wanted (even your bike that some scrote had nicked).
Now there are about 6 -8 stalls and hardly any customers.

Boy: “There’s a sock in that bush.”
Dad: “Don’t touch that!”

Day 4 of my running break and I was rudely woken up because I was “violently moving” my legs in my sleep.
I was basically doing the human version of a dog chasing a cat in his sleep.

Lots went right at the Middlesex 10K - even pacing, no blow-ups, finished about 50s under target - but the real win? My 3-year-old one-woman cheer squad yelling “Go Daddy go!” at me - better than any medal 🏅❤️ #ukrunchat #runchat #running #daddydaughterrelationship
