9pm last night I’m looking forward to a lie-in…

10:30pm last night a message comes in - do you want to go #Running in the morning?

6:30am this morning I’m up and getting ready to go running! 🤣

I’ve not actually registered for the Half Marathon yet and I’ve already got myself a Bee Card so I can use it for travelling around Manchester! 🙈🤣

I think I need to do some #ParkRun tourism as well on the Saturday.

Next step, actually sign up for the Great Manchester Run… eek. 😃

It’s probably very boring to non-runners but my improvement in my #ParkRun stats is a personal source of inspiration to keep #Running

Just under 46 minutes back in August and I’m now under 34 minutes.

Next week I’ll sign up for my first half marathon and see where 2026 takes me.

Another PB!

I’ll have a look at the stats later, but I’m so proud of myself.

#ParkRun number 9 and I’m under 34 minutes for the first time.
November 29, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Wowser. Garmin and Strava are saying that I set a new PB!

I’m waiting on the official email from #Parkrun but it looks like I managed a time just over 33 minutes. I’m massively proud of that time; considering that I only started back in August and my first Parkrun was completed in 45 minutes.

Good morning world! How are we all feeling today?

It’s an early start for me as I’m doing the pre-event course check for my local #Parkrun

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
