I am this old. #Bagpuss

I did not intend to run this far this morning as I was testing carrying 1.5 litres of water on my back for the first time, but then I do love a run in the rain! 😀🌧️ A water bladder followed by a Strava account, I've gone full running geek. 🏃👍 #running #runner #keeprunning #justrun

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker. Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”. He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was handed a suspended sentence. It comes up when you Google him. He won in the council election. A vicious domestic abuser is now a Reform Councillor.

Remember good folks of the UK, the majority of the 46% of the electorate who turned out for these elections voted for hope over hate. Reform are still a minority party with very few MPs. Do not underestimate them, but they are not a forgone conclusion and can be beaten. #hopenothate

" Ooh ooh ooh ooooh! " Me upon reaching the end of Episode 9. #MaulShadowLord #StarWars

Evening run. Back on it after a bout of migraines - four in 48 hours! - put me out of action. I think it may have been a reaction to using energy gels for the first time. Grrr. Back on it though. 👍🏃 #runner #running #justrun #keeprunning

Phew! Longest run yet. 😅 Wouldn't have got that far in the sun - it's my kryptonite - without energy gels! I found them pretty easy to use for a first attempt. Good luck to everyone running the #LondonMarathon today! 👍🏃 Maybe I'll be there, next year! #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

Obviously, I would prefer to read the book before seeing any movie adaptation, but it didn't work out that way this time. I don't think it's going to affect my enjoyment too much though. Not so far. #ProjectHailMary #AndyWeir #NewRead #Books #Reading

I believe I have a new comfort movie as this is my second viewing. Had to go just once more before it leaves cinemas. 👎 #ProjectHailMary

My first pair of walking trousers served me well! - see previous post. Great hike around Simonside Hills today. Thankfully, no sign of the Will-o'-the-Wisp - the Duergar - who entices and ensnares unwary travellers! #simonsidehillsnorthumberland #visitnorthumberland #hiking

I bought my first pair of comfortable walking trousers for a hike today. I may never wear jeans again. A moment of silence, please. This is middle age. Officially. #thisismiddleage #thisismy50s

4.11 miles. A morning wake me the hell up run. 😆🏃👍 #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

Balamory 2026. Comeback of the year. Biblical. #Balamory

This. #nufc

Weekend run. 14.11 miles plus 1 mile cool-down. Hit a wall. That's all the body wanted to do today. You have to listen sometimes. Could be time to experiment with energy gels for longer runs. I don't take anything currently. 😆🏃👍 #running #runner #justrun #morningrun

Sons, boys, men... if you're taking advice from anyone online, make it this from #HomerSimpson.

5k to end the day. #running #runner #5k #justrun

Great time at The Cluny in Newcastle last night to see #puppetfolkexperience. Such a sweet musical tribute to #TheMuppets. If you get the opportunity do go and see. puppetfolkexperience.co.uk #kermitthefrog

The weekend long run. Oof again! Push beyond my 13 mile comfort zone again. Wanted to quit at 17 miles, but got another mile under my belt. Getting closer to 26?! 😬🏃👍 #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

You would think after all my years of running, I would know what VO2 max is by now?! Nope! Not a clue. Well, not until I googled it just now. 😆🤦🏃I've never rated superior for anything... so I'm taking this as a win. #running #runner #justrun

A cheeky morning 5K followed by a 1 mile cool-down. Too bloody warm. Hated every minute. 😆☀️🏃 #running #justrun #runner #5K #morningrun

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, we may not be totally done as a species just yet. 👏🚀🌑 #ArtemisII #lunarflyby

I have decided, today's soundtrack will be mainly... #WolfAlice

Happy #FirstContactDay to all who celebrate. Also, what a film by the way. Had to be watched today. 30th anniversary as well this year. Yikes! #StarTrek #FirstContact

He is risen! Happy Easter! I'm not even sorry. #ETTheExtraTerrestrial

Well, thanks to a mixture of iPlayer, the Loose Cannon Recons and the BBC Audio collection I have finally watched/listened to the entire story... Episode 12 of #TheDaleksMasterplan. Wow. That is all. #DoctorWho

Oof! First time I've pushed myself beyond my 13 mile comfort zone. Gonna see if I can increase that distance... gradually. 😀👍🏃 #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

Here I go. Missing for over 60 years... until now. A bit exciting. I plan to watch and listen to the whole thing. Obviously! #DoctorWho #TheDaleksMasterplan

Yes, I purchased this for myself. I'm not even sorry. #nufc #joelinton ⚫⚪🇧🇷

Seems the perfect way to get in the mood for the release of certain missing episodes tomorrow. #DoctorWho

Never forget. "Because I didn't think March 31st existed. " #RonSwanson #AprilLudgate #ParksAndRec

The evening - blow the cobwebs away - run. #runner #running #justrun

I have discovered #From and ended up bingeing the first four episodes. I take it the suspense doesn't let up!

Ooh. That was wickedly good. Rachel McAdams is phenomenal. Top tier Raimi. Check it out. 👏👏👏👏🔪🏌️ #SendHelp #SamRaimi

The sun was out! ☀️😤🏃 Mixed it up a bit this morning. Warm weather training I'll call it. 😅 Don't want to exhaust myself or I'll just lose pace. 👍 #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

So, I happened to go see Project Hail Mary with a best friend of 33 years. It said everything. #ProjectHailMary

Yeah, I purchased a refurbished and retro brightened 1979 Kenner/Palitoy Millennium Falcon, because A) it looks amazing... B) it's the model I had as a kid and C) life is too f@#&#@' short. #starwars #millenniumfalcon

The weekend long run is done. HM. I'll take it after a tough week. 🏃👍 Also managed to set a PB for a 5K earlier in the week. Never managed under 24 minutes before, but got it done in 22:48. Sad circumstances, but a nice week of running. #running #runner #justrun #keeprunning

Not sure where that came from this morning, but I'm definitely saving for posterity my quickest HM time in 2 years. Actually, maybe I do know where it came from. 🪽👍🏃 #running #runner #justrun #halfmarathon

My father passed away on Monday. I'm going to tell myself he had some influence in spirit tonight. 🖤🤍 #nufc

My father passed suddenly this week, and I'm now an adult orphan. I'm still processing this, but I really needed to get out this evening and put a few miles in and clear my head. Running heals. #running #runner #justrun #runningheals

The weekend run. 10 miles followed by a 1 mile cool-down. The 5Ks in the week have paid off pace wise.🏃👍 #runner #running #justrun

Another early evening 5K. #justrun #keeprunning #runner

Bonus 5K this evening. #runner #running #justrun

I'm watching #Andor again, because well, it's Andor. And at the moment, it acts as inspiration.

Mixed it up a little this morning. 10 miles straight then a 1 mile cool-down. Made a change. #justrun #runner #running

So I'll be purchasing #DoctorWhoTheTVMovie for the fourth time I guess! Truth be told, I'm not even sorry! #DoctorWho

Anthony Gordon. Eddie Howe. Just saying. #nufc

A cheeky 5k to end the day. #running #runner #justrun
