It’s probably the cumulative effect of all of the London/Manchester marathon posts in my feed but I’m definitely feeling the itch of trying another marathon. #running

Finally, some finish line photos where I don’t look like a bedraggled mess. Overall position for yesterday’s half was 90/464 - happy with that. #running #norfolkhalfmarathon

Definitely be adding this to my reading list.

The things I do in the name of fun. Up at 05:00, out the door by 05:20, 2.5 hour journey just to bully myself around another hilly half marathon course - this time in Cromer!

Norfolk Half Marathon 2025 - got it done in 01:50:15 - second fastest currently.

Up at 5am on my weekend to drive to Norfolk for a race. Why do I do these things? #running

Sniped.

15 kilometres done today, bringing the weekly total to 67 kilometres for the second week running.

Just spied a segment that I’m actually on the leaderboard for…strongly considering an assassination attempt on it. #running

I know they can be highly ridiculous, but the new Cradle of Filth album is actually really bloody good!

I do love these early Spring sunrises. #running

Dartford Half Marathon ✅
My tenth half marathon! Finished in 1:45:54 - dead happy with that. A personal best despite some rather disgusting hills.

My Forrest Gump era continues. #running #halfmarathon #dartfordhalf #dartfordhalfmarathon

Two runs in the bank today. 4.5 kilometres with Mademoiselle Spaniel and then 6 kilometres solo. #running #runningwithdogs

Yeah, not icy or anything, just cold!

2 miles with the dog this morning. Cold but she seemed to enjoy it! #running #runningwithdogs

Looks like great scenery to run through

Well done!

Well done!

Nice one!

Also got a good 3K in with this little lady yesterday, and she aced it. #running #runchat #runningwithdogs

Got a good 10 miles in today. Felt good to extend the distance a little bit. Although I’ve just done a half marathon and have another one in two weeks, I’ve been really slack on longer runs at the weekends. #running #runchat

I’ve done similar with a slow cooked chilli that I was really looking forward to, but neglected to stir. Some bizarre smells later, turns out it had burned to the bottom and tainted the whole thing.

Devastated.

I’ve just discovered The Running Channel’s podcast and I’m absolutely loving the banter. #running

Facebook isn’t what it used to be, and I’m not a fan of their new values being lined up conveniently with those of the Trump administration. Seems like a backwards step.

Bluesky seems quite pleasant so far. Hope that continues!

Cheers mate!

Scenery looks decent for a Parkrun!

Great choice of sounds there

Watford Half Marathon well and truly done, and my fastest one yet (despite the hills). Chip time of 1:51:12!

Legs feel pretty battered now so an afternoon of loafing awaits… #running #halfmarathon #watfordhalfmarathon

Watford Half Marathon tomorrow morning. Really looking forward to pushing myself through it, first one of the year. #halfmarathon #running

I deleted the X app from my phone a couple of months back. Based on the last 24 hours I downloaded it again and actually deleted my account. Don’t really want to be a part of that platform any more.

Really neglected my reading last year and my book pile has…grown somewhat. Need to correct that this year.

Got through The Silmarillion, now onto @hardestgeezer.bsky.social’s book about his run though Africa.

After that, @dannywallace.bsky.social and conspiracy theories is up. #BookSky

Two weeks until my first half marathon of 2025. Trying to go to new race locations this year, even if it means getting up at a godawful time to get there on time. #running
