Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 14/10/2026The idiom ‘run for the hills’ describes the act of decamping to avoid an unpleasant situation. However, running hills is itself not exactly a bed of roses, as I was reminded just now. 🤨 191
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Starting line for this afternoon’s eight mile run thoughtfully included a motivational mantra, in case you forgot to pack one. 091
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It is no coincidence that sports massage and sado-masochism share the same initials. 171
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Commemorated this year’s international day of the girl child by going for a 5 mile run in the local nature reserve. It is my go to mode of commemoration, tbh. 030

Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Me, at a hospital: Doctor doctor Doctor: that’s not my name Me: ok, but gimme the news Doctor: you’ve got a bad case of .. Me: .. loving you? Doctor: No Me, strumming air guitar: .. no .. pill's gonna cure my ill I've got a bad case of lovin' youuu Doctor, flicking syringe: this will hurt. 081
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Solstice at the industrial estate run club, when the sun rises fiery and raw along the axis of the main drag. 0100
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Chilling in the bay after today’s five miler. Pace was quicker than usual for my easy run, possibly an artefact of the recent short duration intervals. 1120
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There’s still hope! I also listened to episode 139 (on the Norwegian method) and tried the 45/15 second repeats workout. It was fun way to escape the usual heart rate and pace. 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Rogue, rogue, rogue your bot, gently up the (data)stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, laws are but a dream. 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Visited coffee roasters this morning to get first run on the board for month and pick up some beans. A misty morning kept the numbers down. 340
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Happy monthly mileage reset day to all who celebrate. Time to lace back up those running shoes this boulders not going to roll itself. 140
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Currently at Maxwell Smart (86) miles for the month. So, would you believe at this present moment that you are surrounded by a squad of highly trained running-ninjas? No, well how about believing that I am in striking distance of a 100 mile month three-peat?! 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Not so much a policy position as yet another honeypot for political donations from the mining sector. (If paedophiles were millionaires these guys would be promising to lower the age of consent.) 020
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Tallied 21.2km running this afternoon under a blue sky, made a day of it and headed down to the bay, many people about as well as a sea breeze. 1100
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Another run done in the afternoon sun, didn’t pass any other runners, feels like they all had a party and didn’t invite me, again, only possible explanation with the lovely weather. 140
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Today’s run was 3km easy on the flat path and 4km hills. The hills made me work a little harder on the way up but much easier on the way down, like slow motion intervals. 060
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Wearing my 25 finisher T-shirt from the local Parkorgy. 040
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We have the exact same number of winter days as other cities although ours aren’t consecutive, we like to shuffle at least a few into every month of the year. 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Camouflaged against the skinny trees on today’s run along the trail. 060
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Big chef’s kiss on this story. I eagerly await the next chapter in which we might learn more about the identity of the poster. I’m currently on the fence as to whether it was the phone AI (mistaking an innocent voice command as ‘post lewds’) or the penis wanting its ‘De Mille moment’. 000
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026My local coffee roastery hosts a running group at 7am on. Friday morning. It’s in an industrial estate, absolute garbage place to run. Trucks, driveways, narrow, cracked pavements, dumped tyres and trash, electric substation, workers in hi-vis huddling about smoking, big Cormac McCarthy vibe. 420
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Mixed it up and did some fartlek today, if the name sounds a little amusing to our ears it is because it has been borrowed from the ancient language of the Speed-play tribes, who anthropologists learned used it to refer to the landmass that today we call Sweden. 1110
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Look hear me out. Only the true messiah denies its divinity, and Barnaby can turn anything into a whine. I mean, maybe he’s not the Christ but would it really be that much effort to crucify him to be sure? 000
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Springtime, the season when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and old men turn to thoughts of interval training on loamy trails, dry again after the winter rains and a bit easier on the joints. 150
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Pipped at the post in tonight’s bananagrams challenge, was too slow getting my last tiles down on table to spell c o m e, very ironic now I think about it. 100
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Six more miles of sunshine today, although I seem to have developed a little cold as a treat for the end of winter. 🤧 130
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Unfortunately, ninja-vandals will now work tirelessly to turn the ‘even greater lake’ an algal green. Sad! 020
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 27/08/2026No run today however I reenacted a scene from the 1970s motion picture “Marathon Man” during my visit to the dentist, i.e., had a filling without local anaesthetic, so consider I remained “running adjacent”. 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 26/08/2026What gets my goat with these people *waves hands vaguely* is how they think it is perfectly legitimate to load the political tables in their own interests even when inconvenient laws stand in their way. 120
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Clocked up 100 miles for the month, very much a stretch distance for me, and for the second month *running*, on the back of a series of longer days on the trail. A nice sense of achievement to offset the stiff muscles. 050
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Slipped in a puddle on today’s run. Left me with a numb leg for a minute must have struck my ‘funny bone’. Very happy that the feeling when it returned was more benign than ouch. 110
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Hit 7000km logged on the running app with this afternoon’s tootle along the creek. Started in 2020 when I ran during the outdoor hour that we were allowed while the city was locked down. 130
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Maintained a steady pace running this afternoon for ten kilometres, the secret for me is listening to a playlist of old favourites, it keeps the enthusiasm primed but under control. 050
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 17/08/2026This tall horse statue with globe reminds me of the old saying that many hands make light work 2122
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Grateful for another hour on a trail today, an out and back on the urban fringe, passed a man riding a horse, twice, they are much bigger than I remember when they are coming toward you on a narrow path. Managed to clock my 10km target time after a slow start. 060
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Sure, this rates well for its puerile sexism and the gormless denial, but let’s not forget the stupidity to perform for a YouTuber in the first place and the mid-beige-norm-core of this cretin’s hello fellow kid’s act. 110
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A welcome splash of sunshine during today’s 7 mile trail run, stayed just long enough to take a selfie. Vitamin D always lifts the mood I find. 0110
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Stopped during today’s 10km run to pick up a lemon from a give away basket, remembering they are $2 at the shops, and carried it like I was legging it in a fruit-baton based ekiden. Citrius, Altius, Fortius! 260
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The announced budget airline carry on fee has me like, but tbh I would pay upward of 20AUD if the crew were cosplaying characters from Carry On Up The Khyber.static.klipy.comMan's Surprised Reaction: Ooh MatronALT: Man's Surprised Reaction: Ooh Matron 030
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 05/08/2026He was probably just wanting to shoot a couple of birdies, what’s the big deal? 110
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Various acacia trees are now in bloom, a good reason to slow down on the trail, and keep close to a waddle (wattle) pace. Also, the path is a slippery customer after the rain. 040
Reposted by TuupplopCoach Bennett @coachbennett.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If you can go for a run… go for a run. The run won’t fix what’s broken but it will help you. The run won’t heal all the wounds or solve all the problems but it will help you. And we need you… to help do all the things that running can’t do. This is about running. This is not about running. 0202
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The contentment of a ten mile run lasts longer the earlier you start. 060
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 01/08/2026An 8 mile lunchtime run to welcome the last month of winter. The clear sky made for overnight frost but crystal blue daytime. 190
Tuupplop @tuupplopp.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Completed Run-22 to cap off a high volume month, taking comfort in fact that if you are crazy enough to run this often then you are not crazy, according to J Heller’s seminal work. 040
