What an exceptional book this is / was. Remembering all of his stories during stand-up and a very emotional ending from #BillyConnolly. Highly recommended. #book #reading #comedy

Top tip: Don't trust google maps when it says a route is an extra 5 minutes with fewer hills. It omits the fact there is a mile long section through a very muddy field that causes you to carry your bike #bike #cycle #mountainbike #exercise #ride #commute #health #fitness #dad #dadbod

Planning out the month's meals. Need 2 weeks of clean eating before my 10k. Trying to budget and waste less too, all while eating better. #food #health #recipes #healthy #prep #foodprep #dad #dadbod

New trainers. Not a single person has asked how fast I can run in them. Boring. #trainers #nectarines #run #running #trail #trainrunning #karrimor #dad #dadbod #health #exercise #healthy #fit #fitness

There and back again, a commuter's tale from an idiot who bikes to work in the winter. #bike #cycle #mountainbike #commute #work #wrexham #chester #exercise #fit #fitness #health #healthy #mentalhealth #wellbeing #dad #dadbod

What a flavour this turned out to be. It was like drinking ice cream. Exceptional work. #protein #proteinshake #raspberryripple #exercise #walking #health #fit #fitness #dad #dadbod

Morning commute, haven't done it for 18 months and this is the best time I've ever done. Turns out that getting fitter has its benefits. #bike #cycle #commute #work #morning #cycling #health #exercise #pb #personalbest #dad #dadbod #fit #fitness

Good leg stretch today on my lunch break. Having that midday shower to tackle the afternoon is fully appreciated #run #running #exercise #lunch #lunchbreak #fit #fitness #health #healthy #chester #dad #dadbod

It was a bit shorter lunchtime run today, but the pace wasn't too far off, considering my right leg is making me fully aware it is struggling. #run #running #chester #exercise #lunchtime #training #10ktraining #health #fit #fitness #dad #dadbod

Well, I surprised myself with this on my lunch today. It was meant to be 3 miles. Getting closer to under a 10 minute mile. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️💪 #run #running #chester #work #lunchtime #exercise #10ktraining #health #healthy #fitness #dad #dadbod

#stormdarragh has finally passed. I'm love and hate that I've become a little obsessed with running. Felt good to get outside properly.

🔻 10kg
I'm 6 foot 3 inches tall, and my posture isn't great, so that's the focus now. I've always struggled with everything and everyone being lower than me (physically).
However, I am very happy with the weight loss

And there it is, cancelled. I see this as a chance to now get my run time to 45 minutes by the 18th January. #run #stormdarragh #running #cancelled #health #wrexham #10k #dad #dadbod

Well, this is not what I wanted to see. Good chance my 10k will be postponed or cancelled with this forecast. Got to love Welsh weather. In the last 3 weeks, we've had snow, then 14°C, now this. #weather #run #running #10k #wrexham #dad #dadbod #welsh #wales

And there we have it folks, the final training run before the main event on Saturday. 2 days of rest now, tiger balm at the ready, and a lean diet. Hoping to get to a 10-minute mile on the day. Fingers crossed. #run #running #fitness #training #exercise #health #wrexham #dad #dadbod #10ktraining

Took my youngest out to stretch their legs this evening. Just 1 more run tomorrow, then 2 days rest before Saturday. Feeling optimistic about thus 10k even if my legs feel like lead #run #running #exercise #health #fit #fitness #wrexham #10ktraining #training #dad #dadbod

Rest day today whilst working from home. Aim to do another 10k tomorrow morning at 5 before work. Rest again Thursday and a light run on Friday to get the blood flowing again. #Rest #restday #grinch #slippers #christmas #health #exercise #workfromhome #dad #dadbod #legs

Dinner time (lunch time for all non-Welsh or Northern folk) run. This felt relatively easy, considering I did over 10k yesterday. 3 more training runs to go until Saturday's 10k (rest day Friday) #run #running #lunchtime #dinnertime #exercise #health #fitness #training #wrexham #dad #dadbod

6 days to go, and I have done the first 10k practise along the route. It was tough, but I feel great. I can definitely improve the time. I'll be posting a lot this week in a final push to the race, apologies in advance #10k #training #exercise #run #running #health #wellbeing #wrexham #dad #dadbod

It's like drinking cheap sweets (Candy, for our US cousins) from the 90s. It also makes me see sound and smell colours #preworkout #exercise #caffeine #health #raspberry #run #running #training #10k #10ktraining #dad #dadbod #sunday

Superb morning, but weird for the last day of November as it's bloody warm, but running through the patch of fog was blissfully chilly. Cymru (Wales) really is an exceptional country #Wales #Cymru #Wrexham #Run #Running #Morning #Exercise #Health #Dad #Dadbod #Fitness #Sun #Fog #Happy

10k is a week on Saturday. Working a 12 hour shift today covering my US colleagues for #thanksgiving. 7 hours into the shift and the pre-work gym session has helped. #exercisegivesyouenergy #gym #exercise #health #treadmill #dad #dadbod

In the summer, I was 115kg, and today I weigh 100kg. It's mainly been done through exercise and cutting out a bit of crap from the diet (I had an unhealthy relationship with fizzy drinks). I'm sorry to disappoint, but my onlyfans doesn't exist #dad #dadbod #weight #health #healthier #exercise

Finally (pretty much) over a chest infection and covid. My 10k is 11 days away. I've managed nearly half the distance this evening. I may yet be able to do this. #training #10k #running #dad #dadbod #welsh #wales #garmin #wrexham
