Engineer, bad runner, fan of lively south London and its hills that look like Tuscany.
It was truly beautiful in there this morning - sunny, cool and quiet.

Got to love Lee Bay and the Grampus Inn - this time enhanced with Otter Black stout. In a world of its own.

It’s a great design and colour to be spotted a mile off. Saw two on today’s run and exchanged knowing nods!

Looking for some inspiration for marathon training - a visit to Karl Marx is just the ticket!

Loving a bit of running in freezing Berlin. Trying not to fall over since I forgot my EHIC card!

London Marathon 2025 - I’m in and running for Sarcoma UK in support of a colleague who’s had a desperate battle for the last 5 years. I’m privileged to team with 100 Sarcoma UK runners with incredible stories of bravery, resilience and, sadly, loss.

A chilly and wild night out in the Surrey hills - a great annual event.

Ten miles around South London this morning - nippy and beautiful in places like Norwood Park.

Erm isn’t that Stow rather than Burford?

Winter sun in Bath.

Winter tyres only in Eryri! (Not my Landy btw)

Little jaunt down the Waterlink Way to Beckenham Place Park this morning. Tree in the background mimicking my running form 😤

A Christmas tree at the Blenheim light show.

Super long run - Evenlode valley, Cornbury and Blenheim estates to Woodstock to celebrate the solstice. Weather typically drizzly and windy.

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind summary by Coauthor.studio:

Our focus must be on accelerating grid infrastructure development through clear policy frameworks and innovative implementation approaches. The climate clock is ticking - we need action, not just ambition.

This festive pub in Aberdeen has a special place in my heart. Sadly didn’t survive COVID but might live again. 🤞

A bit less wind on Sunday for a run up Icomb hill, but -8c with wind chill and the damage has already been done. Fresh!

It’s up - no complaints this year, it’s a really lovely tree. We can still be friends with Norway.
December 5, 2024 at 11:24 PM
Queuing to Lordship Lane this evening - it’s really pretty bad.

It’s a few weeks old but I still think about that tree in Dulwich Park. No gentle surrender to winter for me.

Saying it here and now - I'm going to run 1,000 miles in 2024 - because I really need to pull my finger out!
