Nice turnout for @goodgym.bsky.social hosted ‘run between the stations’.

Not used to running in the evening. I was worried I’d not have the energy left as I had already run that morning and done a day of work. Fortunately, I surprised myself, albeit it was a social, chatty pace. 😁🏃🚇

Annoyingly I didn’t get my phone out quickly enough. There was a little bit of argy-bargy this morning #RichmondPark - must be that time of year!

Another 21 miles done today and day 231 completed.

Saw these at work today: Pieris brassicae (Large White butterfly) alongside Euplagia quadripunctaria (Jersey Tiger moth) increasingly seen in southern UK. Both active pollinators. 🦋🌸

Saw an unattended fire near #BostonManorPark by the #GrandUnionCanal on our morning run. @sarahkern.bsky.social called 999, I gave the #what3words location. A mile later, #LFB rang back—lost. I sprinted back to guide them. Chiswick crew put it out with buckets + bats. Got a thumbs-up at the end. 👊🔥

This footage was caught by one of the regular patrons (Ewa) recently, an incredible encounter!

A morning of newborns - fortunately I had my #GoPro.

Running early really does afford me opportunities to observe the crepuscular activities local to me.

Day 135 and 1190 miles covered.

After several long and intensive days of work and feeling quite tired, I decided to have a morning off and go for a long, slower run.

This was 128 of my streak with a 15 mile run. (1126 miles this year).

Yesterday we got to see the bluebells in Perivale Woods. The scent, colour and peacefulness of this ancient woodlands is quite profound.
