Caitriona Jennings of Ireland sets new women’s 100-mile world record of 12:37:04 in her first attempt at the distance. Amazing! www.irunfar.com/caitriona-je...

Last one. Couldn’t stop looking at all the autumn colours. Getting out today was the best thing I could have done 🍂

Lovely times with the youngest 🧡

Rectified my lack of Autumnal woodland walk this morning. And it was wonderful 🍂 🍁 @dribelad.bsky.social @darwendashers.bsky.social

The book that many publishers said people wouldn't read because it was about women and ultra endurance has just been shortlisted for Sports Book of the Year. Yes, @emmajourno.bsky.social and I are feeling smug this morning. Just shows how good women are at persisting against patriarchal nonsense...

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

In the shaded labyrinth of the souks with ever-present scooters Some stall holders have a touch & it’s yours policy. Some are very assertive in their sales pitches! But the vast majority sit & smile or nod as you pass All offer a ‘very good price’ which is usually 3+ times what we should pay

Desert shenanigans #Marrakesh

The incredibly beautiful Madrasa Ben Youssef 🧡 #Marrakech

Backyard Ultras are devilishly clever. Running 4.1667 miles in an hour every hour looks easy. With a national record and PB of 59 yards going in, Sarah Perry 🇬🇧 has today set a new female world record of 95 yards before stopping. 396 miles. 4 days. No chance to really sleep, or even eat a meal. 🤯

Nothing better than adventures with these peeps ❤️ #Marrakech

Museum & gallery visit this morning The sun is now incredibly strong so we are relaxing indoors until it calms enough to head out again!

Another lovely morning in the Riad. Heading out to explore #Marrakesh

Rather grainy, but taken on our evening walk and trip to the Kabana bar #Marrakesh

Jemaa el-Fnaa comes alive at night! #Marrakesh

Morning wanderings #Marrakesh

Marrakesh from our rooftop during the Adhan, or call to prayer, yesterday #Marrakesh

Our hosts made us a feast for breakfast today 👌🏻 #Marrakesh

An exhausting but wonderful first day. We left home at 2am and arrived in Marrakesh at 9am. We’ve spent hours wandering the streets of the Medina, soaking up the sights, sounds and smells. We are now relaxing in our Riad, where we were welcomed with some wonderful mint tea and pastries #Marrakesh

Projector screensaver sending me all the memories today 🥰 #IsleofHarris #OuterHebrides

Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra 2025 Individual World Championship begins tomorrow morning at 0700 Central Time (US). You can follow along on YouTube, Facebook, Insta; links are at bigsbackyardultra.com. I’ll post the live tracking link tomorrow morning. #bigdogultra #backyardultra

Splendid walk on a warm sunny day, appreciating the last of the summer meadow flowers

Ok, so the answer here is to eat some food, be it flapjack or otherwise. The key to warming up is all about the calories, despite the tea feeling so much more comforting. Obviously in reality you can have both, but don’t stick to just the warming drinks. Have high cals with simple & complex carbs

NEW: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize.

Burner, hound, brew, rota It’s a cosy day doing Spine stuff #SpineRace #CosyAutumn

Endurance runners: If you are struggling with mild hypothermia during a race and have only 2 options to choose from, which would you go for to help you warm up? You can only choose one A. Hot tea OR B. Flapjack

Classic GP waiting room chat between strangers yesterday: Man 1: I’ve just had root canal Man 2: Oof. Sounds awful Man 3 to wife: You had yours cleaned out didn’t you? Woman 1: No, that was my carotid artery (Laughter) I’m now wobbly & have no taste Man 1: Sounds like having a sinus infection

Well this felt pretty good This year, for the first time since my teens, I felt utterly disillusioned with politics across the spectrum (with the exception of LDs) But @zackpolanski.bsky.social has been so inspiring & so clear on his ethos, that he has rekindled some of my hope #GreenParty

So, “plenary authority” is a new hefty phrase in our glossary of US madness tonight

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation. Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Sunset views, the hound and some Netflix made rowing rather delightful this evening

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

Courtney Dauwalter finishes seventh at the Twin Cities Marathon in a massive PR of of 2:49:51 (chip time).

This never gets old and sadly doesn’t seem to be any less relevant than the day it was made. How are we still having to fight the insane idea that withdrawing from this is ok, let alone a good idea? #ECHR

World event antidote: I would like to submit this to the Bluesky tea council as my entry for a crackin’ mug of tea Marks out of 10 please 🙏🏻 Please show me your better offerings if this is deemed any lower than a 7

Thousands hit the streets of European cities after Gaza flotilla is intercepted 🇵🇸

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla. We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices. This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

It’s that kind of day

I definitely had no complaints about the view from my van when I woke first thing this morning What a wonderful place my home county is 🧡 #NorthYorkshire

Who knows where we are this weekend? 🤔 #SpineRace

Rather lovely views on my walk this morning before the spine summit began. Now lying in my van, cosy and warm, listening to the rain pattering on the roof 🥰 #SpineRace

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Prepping for the Spine Summit this weekend 🤩 #SpineRace

I’m a bit late to this party, but @lucygossage.bsky.social has smashed the self-supported fkt for the Southwest Coast Path trashing though 630 miles & >110,000 feet of climb in 11 days 9 hours 6 minutes shaving a HUGE 2 days off Sarah Perry’s record Superb! 🙌🏻 Congrats Lucy! Pics from Lucy’s FB

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain. England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem. With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

It’s pear and apple central chez Lygo
