They treat those who seek peace as a threat to the public realm, while throwing a defensive cordon around those engaged in genocide. They treat environmental protesters as if they were antisocial thugs, while the antisocial thugs of the fossil fuel industry get a free pass to trash our lives.

I cycle to work past a castle slighted in the 13th century, along a river Vikings traded on, through a village that predates the Norman invasion.

My old Honda CRF250L it was better than the sum of it’s parts, it took an absolute beating and kept running, upgraded the clutch and levers, added a bash plate, bark busters, haul loops, mousses instead of tubes, but was otherwise pretty standard.

Me on a Fazer thousand following my friend who crashed, time lapse photos as I was trying that mode out on my new camera, he was mostly fine, broken collar bone. Around 2011. Local IAM used video on a training course. As video shows, crash helmet saved him from serious harm.

Me in 2014 on a 105km hike, I did it in 20hrs 29 minutes around 900 started and under 500 finished, hottest day of the year. Between checkpoints 7 and 8 i started hallucinating on my own in the dark. Said “never again” then signed up to hike Greensands Ridge 🤣

This weekend’s Bedford Running Festival .

Mark Brown 🏃🚴🚵 @senthx.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Lying in, sore after my fastest 5k of the year, i can hear the running festival on my doorstep and the start of the HM and 20miler, and am experiencing no FOMO, just a quiet contentment that i went running yesterday, might even go watch the podium medals, usually im still halfway round the course.

Mark Brown 🏃🚴🚵 @senthx.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Well, did the running festival 5k in around 26minutes, not sure of chip time yet, didn’t stop watch till i was way through the finish tunnel. Probably ran too fast for my current fitness, but I enjoyed it.

Mark Brown 🏃🚴🚵 @senthx.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Entered a 5k race later today, modest target time of 30mins. Psychobilly playlist through my bone conduction headphones, with Rick Astley 🥴 to come on at 31minutes, motivation to pick up the pace in the last 800 metres. 🤭

Well, first run after illness, not fast, but did a 5k without stopping, only a little sore. Never missed the local running festival since it started in 2016, it’s next week, I’ve entered the 5k instead of my usual Half Marathon.

Once in a forest, something fell out of the trees. He was laughing so much he couldn’t get up. A lone wolf saw him fall, went in search of a ladder. He bit into the ladder, used it as a spear… and something died laughing.

Well, i am cured, balance and hearing returned NHS ENT surgeon sorted me out, was not the rare ear disease I had been diagnosed with. Too out of shape to enter the Half Marathon at local running festival (assuming there are places left) so will do a 5k. What a relief, was in pain for months. 😀

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

This is an outrageous failure from Andy Burnham and this Labour Government. He says they "don't know the remedy." It's obvious to almost anyone. Nationalise water companies. Tax fossil fuel companies. Invest in renewables. Labour selling us down the river to please their donors as country burns.

On my single speed to allotment to water plants with last of my rain water (we do have a communal well, I try not to need it) deliberately took a hill route to test new easier gearing, worth the loss of top speed. Very hot, effort felt greater than stats show.
