Early autumn morning 15km with some great mist near the river and gorgeous blue sky skies later. Got vaguely lost in an unfamiliar neighbourhood. Jazz funk in the ears. Perfect run ❤️

Lovely morning for it today. Bit of rain that gave way to cool blue skies. Did 12k with some 90s electronica in the ears.

Obligatory 10k in the Bathurst estate to run off some of the vast amount of public food I’ve had since being in the UK. Just seen 2 fully loaded bombers taking off from RAF Fairford, so expect Iran is gonna get hit again 🙄

Yeah, when she gets groomed we usually put her in her hoodie for a bit in the winter. When she's fluffy, she's warm enough...

Dusting of snow last night and subzero temps, so had a cautious, slippery 10km thru Marupe woods. 🎧 Joe Abercrombie- The wisdom of Crowds.

Out in the forest near Balozu with this little one this morning. Decent covering of snow and seriously cold.

Reasonable dusting of snow this morning and pretty icy. Slow careful 5km round the parks. Switched up from my Hokas to my Nike Goretex trail shoes for extra warmth, waterproofing and grip.

Yesterday’s snow just turned to slush and then dried out. 10km run this morning thru Marupe woods. Cold as hell with a realfeel of minus 4 but every day without major snow is a bonus now. 🎧 still on the audiobook!

18km run this morning with the audiobook for company. Started out sunny but deteriorated into cold ass rain by the end. Need to get as much running as possible done in the next couple of weeks before the snow comes.

Sat watching Shogun having inhaled all the worlds carbs as a bar snack because I did not have my glasses and could not read that the sharing platter was clearly designed for about 50 people. Myself and Dave put in a valiant attempt but couldn't finish it.

Ridiculously enjoyed Koh Ker the other day. A deserved addition to the World Heritage list.
