Running, cycling and reading now the kids have left and as long as my middle aged body allows.
Winter is officially behind us, and the March equinox has arrived! As Earth continues its journey around the sun, the seasons shift—sometimes so gradually that we barely notice. Get outside and embrace what our small world has to offer. #Running #SpringAwakening

A double run day Friday, #parkun Saturday, Nottingham 10k (plus run there and back) Sunday, the weekend was full of training for the #londonmarathon. Here's a commute video of the old canal, now an underpass at Crown Island. More info here about this daft bit of infrastructure: tinyurl.com/23j32aut

#parkrun reality check: Me pushing hard, giving it everything, then get lapped at the finish funnel. Him, effortless stride, animal grace, grabs the No.1 barcode, and speeds off for another lap (or two?!). I check my watch, shake my head, and cough. Some people are just built differently.

The thing about #running to work? You’re basically signing a blood oath to run back. No bus, no Lime bike—those are the rules. Today’s route? A detour through the Uni and a pitstop for a flapjack. Snacks aren't cheating. Besides, what’s the point of running if there isn’t a tasty reward on the way?

#Parkrun day! Well parkwalk for me today, I started training for the #LondonMarathon then promptly injuring myself. Today’s video is me being lapped, enjoyed the walk but really needed a dog on a short handheld lead. Podcast of the day was the excellent Backlisted: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Christmas #parkrun day. Record numbers out this morning at Rushcliffe. Santa hats as far as the eye could see, a deployment of the mythical triple funnel and the sun gave everything a golden tint. Thanks to Marc and the gang of volunteers for making it happen. Merry Christmas.

#Parkrun Day! I've long been impressed by the motivational effect a parkrun t-shirt has on me. Currently I'm chasing my 250, still about a year away from getting that grail-like, green garment. Today I'm now one run closer and briefly found myself literally in touching distance of a 250 t-shirt.
