Today’s jog took me out along the Portway, mostly because the weather has been so utterly crazy in Bristol today that I figured I’d stick to a route where there were likely no puddles and I was fairly unlikely to be struck by lightning. We had the most enormous thunderclap I’ve heard in my life […]
I’m going to try to get out twice on weekdays this week, because it’s been ages since I’ve done that. I seem to have degenerated into a one‐midweek, once‐at‐the‐weekend pattern, mostly since the Bristol 10K. I think I need to start building the average miles up a bit again, and get out when I can.

My feet seem to be a bit achey after running recently. It suddenly occurred to me that, even though it only seems like a few weeks ago that I bought a new pair of shoes, it might actually have been rather longer. And that’s where a blog comes in handy. I first bought proper running […]

Just a token effort, really, my first since Thursday’s 21km epic, and I took it slowly. No problems, though. […]
I had a day off work. It looked like a nice morning for a little jog. So, I went out for a little jog. Which turned into a longer jog. Which turned into a bit of an epic. I did set out with the idea of going for a longish run. I set off with […]
