Today was an okay run. I wasn’t very focused — losing an hour in the transition to British Summer Time can do that to a person; I still haven’t even changed all my clocks, so I’m living with one foot in the past — but that was okay. Sometimes being unfocused means your run is […]
Just a quick backdated entry: I did go for a run this week; just the usual 5K, but I waited until Thursday because I was knackered on Wednesday. And then I went straight to Bristwestival, the tonguetwistingly-named Bristol Twitter festival, so I didn’t have time to blog…

Turns out that it’s only a couple of months until the Bristol 10K, which is happening on 9th May. My very first race! So, as you might expect, I’m here, cap in hand, […]
