It's #CarersWeek this week — and the theme is equality. But for me, after over a decade as a 24x7 unpaid #dementia carer, the issue was always time. Here's how we could give many carers the time they need to work, to study, to follow their interests ... to be equal milesposts.com/care-combine...

5-year-old grandson Benny's 1st tennis lesson — he's excited about Wimbledon coming up. Even though the racquet's big for him. he mastered the forehand grip and flat swing quickly, and learnt not to try to smack the ball too hard. Roll on, Wimbledon 2040!

Carrying an Achilles strain, unfit, overweight, but I at least finished the Manchester 10K, my first big #race since 2017, in 57 mins 44 sec. 10th of 46 in the 70-74 age group. Pleased with my #fundraising effort for St Ann's Hospice, hitting my £1000 target as the race was about to start.

So close to my #fundraising target of £1000 with 4 days left before I'm #running the Great Manchester 10K. Thanks for helping me support the wonderful folk at St Ann's #Hospice in gratitude for their stellar support. Full story at ajbellgreatmanchesterrun2025.enthuse.com/pf/alan-miles

It's getting real! My Great Manchester 10K race number arrived in the post today. No the number's not my birth-year. Or the last time I ran a 10K event — that was 2017. Wish I'd had time since then to get myself properly ready.

So the day I chose for my first #parkrun since 2017 was also the day when almost 800 runners came to Peel Park — with tomorrow's Manchester Marathon. A bit hazardous with too many feet but managed not to fall into the Irwell, and finished in a decent 26:22 - 2nd V70 (out of only 3 😀)

My first parkrun since 2017 at Peel Park tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
