Tonight I'm at the osteopath (Keith, very nice man) so I ran this morning after the briefest of dog walks. Lovely to be back in the park again and it's receiving some much needed and overdue tlc. 35 minute base run at 6:55/km.

Tuesday night is hills night for me. I did nine and a half, well I wanted to make it up to 5k, so that's why I did another half hill. 😁

Daily mail beware the green menace

Didn't expect Daily Mail to be doing free branding.

Lower bills, protect the NHS and fund public services.

Can imagine why Lord Rothermere isn't so keen....

Granny's Bay Challenge 8th March 2026 Granny's Bay Challenge is organised by Preston, Fylde and Wyre Running or PFW for short.

I did Granny's Bay Challenge today.

Garmin screen showing the route of my 2.95 km run. The total time taken was 26:31

Picture of a flat lay for a race. There are running shoes, toe socks, shorts with a paw print pattern, a trail vest, two energy gels, a t-shirt and a base layer.

Today's run was a lovely chatty jeff 60:30 with Emma from the gym. We left the other runners behind and ploughed our own furrow.
Tomorrow I'm going Granny's Bay Challenge, a six hour event. That's what the flat lay is for. I should have added headphones and Zombies, Run, as I'm doing it solo.

Definitely run more. Cook from scratch and stop eating UPFs. Play the piano and accordion again. Probably start sewing again. Do loads of fell walking with my husband. Play with the dog. Clean and redecorate the house. The list goes on.

Apparently it's almost impossible to cancel your membership of Reform UK, so I wonder how many of those 268k actually want to be members.

such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"

Tonight's Garmin offering. A forty minute base run accompanied by Zombies, Run! I recently updated my races on Garmin and marked Run The Raid in August as my primary race. Now my Garmin runs are longer. Great! That means more cake. 😋

OMG! #OMG

Lord help us all, in this dick wagging contest of world dictators.. The U.S. has drawn the shortest straw

Can we have a few more Goodwin/Badloss jokes please?

Hope won the Manchester By Election in Gorton and Denton.

Hate came second.

Lies came third.

FFS, the plumber just cancelled.

I'm truly saddened to hear the news of Jeff Galloway's death. He made running accessible to so many people. He was by all accounts a lovely man and I really got a sense of that in his Garmin training videos. RIP Jeff, you'll be missed.

Another Tuesday, another hill session. Eleven last week, twelve this week. Not sure about next week, there's a nice hill sprint session on offer: 15 seconds going at top speed and 90 seconds recovery. Sounds like the sort of thing I'd really love. Watch this space. 😁

I did the Fylde Coast Runners Stanley Park 10k today. Here's a link to my write up on Substack.

I don't want the richest people to be richer, I want life to be better for everyone.

If we have to make the richest people poor to do that.

That's fine with me.

I went for run with the lovely ladies from Em's Fitness Hub first thing. It's dedicated to the wonderful Jeff Galloway who's currently in ICU. Get better soon, Jeff, we're all rooting for you. ❤️

Garmin stats page for a strength workout showing which muscles have been exercised. Pretty much every muscle is highlighted, most in red (primary) and some in yellow (secondary). The workout lasted 1 hour and 25 seconds, I burned 262 calories and lifted a total of 2,535 kg - just not all at once. 😁

Gym this morning and I got a deadlift pb. 30kg. It doesn't sound much but I'm new to weights and even newer to deadlifts. I also worry about my back so I won't be overdoing it. Still, seeing that little 🏆 symbol on Garmin is very gratifying.

As America gets closer to war, here’s your reminder that every military member killed and every Million $ spent for every missile fired happened so that Trump and the Republican Party can protect themselves and their pedophile friends from accountability. #EpsteinFiles

The Royal Family represents the very worst of the UK, the tip of a disgusting iceberg of poisonous greed, stolen wealth and outrageous arrogance.

They should have been abolished 400 years ago.

It's time to finally do it now.

Another benefit of not having a Royal Family, is that they would stop killing Canadian bears to make stupid hats.

I'm not a historian. But I can think of no precedent in modern Britain for what is being done to trans people. The media, public institutions, Government and (too often) the judiciary are combining to attack or exclude a marginalized group and its allies - with really no significant demurral.

Tonight Garmin wanted me to do a 38 minute base run but I wanted to do a slow chatty run with my friend Stephen for his first run in 4 weeks. I would like to say we compromised but we didn't. Garmin spent the whole time telling me I was too slow and I told it to shut up.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Tonight I did hill repeats with BFR on Devonshire Road. I did the slightly shorter distance but racked up eleven of them, so I'm quite pleased with myself. It feels like it's coming together again after my fall three weeks ago.
