16th November: Fulham 10k Finish on a low sadly. Poor Prep, niggling injuries and low mood led to what felt like my worst run this year. Good medal, shame about the stadium on it 1:05:20

7th September: Great North Run Toenail blister at the halfway mark and general fatigue meant this run felt like an utter disaster. And they put the wrong river on the medal... 2:31:26

#Parkrun with the wife yesterday. Due to Pride, our local one was cancelled so we became tourists. Might have found a new regular as it was delightful

Was feeling energetic yesterday so opted to run the 6.6km to #Parkrun before my actual #Parkrun 14 days until my next #HalfMarathon and leg feels good. Body feels good. #ChelmsfordHalfMarathon I'm coming for you!

middleagedrunner.bsky.social @middleagedrunner.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Thank you. I thought it had healed up. Still strapped it but felt it go. Was about 10th from last but was being either a. Determined (me) or b. A stubborn git (my wife)

First #HalfMarathon of the year in the bag. #GreatBentleyHalfMarathon. My calf decided to tear again halfway round and so I was left to Jog/Hobble the final 10k. Great Marshalling, Amazing Organisation... Hate the wooden medal though...
