So I did a thing at the very end of the Warsaw Marathon. It was instinctive, I didn’t do it for the glory, and had forgotten all about it. Anyway, it was caught on camera, put into a Instagram reel, and here we are 400k views later.. #runsky #runchat #ukrunchat www.instagram.com/reel/Dd32WMI...

It’s been a tough couple of injury plagued weeks, but I made it to the start line of the Warsaw Marathon this morning and got my sub 4 (3:54:29). It was hot and there were Nuns on the Water stations. I was so delighted I actually wept. #running #runsky #runchat #ukrunchat #marathon

1:44:46 at today’s Great North Run, even though I was supposed to be taken it easy two weeks before the Marathon. My foot felt better, I felt good, and I got carried away. Hang this in the Louvre! Although, I still refuse to pay £25 for it. #running #GNR #runsky #ukrunchat #runchat

I WOKE this morning to
the wonderful sight of a
woodpecker in my garden. By the
time I had made myself a cup of tea,
it had disappeared. What kind of
society do we live in when people
are coming into people's gardens
and stealing woodpeckers?

As I’m now Marathon training, I decided to take away the temptation to run #parkrun by volunteering for the next 16 weeks instead. Was on the Funnel this morning and really enjoyed seeing everyone, of whatever ability and pace, coming in. Something you don’t see when you just turn up and run it.
