We're all a mess Everything hurts Nobody sleeps Bodily comfort is for the lucky Large boy has been writing couplets and sets for a rap at school. I think he'd be utterly horrified with my spontaneous attempt at letting out my frustrations with our physical defects through the medium of Sunday morning poetry. Well, himself… Continue reading A litany of injuries

At the start of 2021, I did a round up of 2020 and included some running stats. In 2022, I wrote a whole post about it because my running had got a bit more serious I suppose. However, 2022 did not go to planning on the exercise front. Total Stats Comparison 20212022Active Days278165Total Time239 hours113… Continue reading Running Review 2022
Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas. I'm taking a few days off to enjoy some cuddles, laughs, and lots of food with my family. I might be back on 30th or I might not. I hope everyone has a joyful and peaceful few days. But I know Christmas can be awful for some of us… Continue reading Taking A Festive Break
I'm very thankful to know many lovely folks from the USA. Some are friends from my university years, some are ex-colleagues, some are current co-workers and some are virtual friends I know from blogging. I'm thankful for them all.

I recently wrote a post about 6 reasons to get into running. The lovely One Dot Short of a Smarties Box pointed out that I made it sound like "those of us in the latter category have some puzzling glitch that needs to be fixed". Sorry! So here's a list of reasons not to go… Continue reading 5 Reasons not to go running
I was out running and thinking about why I run, about why other people run and why they might not want to. If you're in that last category, maybe these reasons will inspire you. 1. Outrun others when the zombie apocalypse comes Or outrun any other disaster. Indeed, I have a couple of tee shirts… Continue reading 6 Reasons to Get into Running
I haven't blogged about running for a while. There's a reason for that, as I've mentioned on my Instagram feed lately. #smellysockscantrunanymore I had a dreadful cold in February - himself had COVID, I was testing daily and negative throughout. One false negative I might understand, but not 7 in a row while I felt… Continue reading My running playlist 2
Seriously, who voluntarily sets their alarm for 7.30am on Sunday morning? And why? Sleep Surely it's just not a sensible move. I mean, once upon a time anything before 10am on the weekend was "early". Then kids happened and now any and all sleep is precious. Even six and three quarter years since small boy… Continue reading 7.30am on a Sunday
