Two years ago this week, at the age of 35 I ran my first ever 10k race. It’s never too late to start, just get out there, keep going and you might just surprise yourself! #TransformationTuesday July 2017: 11stone 10 July 2019: 9st 13

A friend (I will name depending on the response) has a bath by getting into the *empty dry bath* and then letting the water rise around them. I think most people get into the tub when full. They say that at least half the country does it their way. Pls help resolve this 🛁

A windy, but fun #Brighton10k down on the south coast for our @racepacing team. Local guy and great comedian @gillinghamjoe was kind enough to join us for a pre-race piccy.

@London10K today with the teenager and my bestie from HK. Bumping into @GailSeal at the start, always a treat. My running club @harlowrtc managing the start funnel and the teenagers club @Innovationmulti were superb on course marshals 🙌🏻 Post run pint 🍺👌🏻 #running #ukrunchat – at London, England

Hoping the power of Twitter can help find ‘Lillian Phillips’. I have found her London Marathon bag and bib number - Blue 48918 outside Canary Wharf Station. I’d love to reunite her with it tonight if possible! Please share! @LondonMarathon @CanaryWharfLive #londonmarathon – at London, England

Here we go! Bib picked up for this Sunday’s Chicago Marathon! Now, a couple of days to explore the city - starting with a downtown pizza crawl tonight. So glad to finally be here after two years of Covid cancellations #ChicagoMarathon

parkrun no.172 today in 27:56. Absolutely beautiful morning for a run and an extra lap with my tailwalker friends. Drove past all the London Marathon barriers and mile markers being set up, can’t wait to cheer everyone on tomorrow! Happy weekend - hope you had a good run today!

Incredible performance today!
Limits are there to be broken. By you and me together. I can say that I am beyond happy today that the official world record is once again faster. Thank you to all the runners in the world that inspire me every day to push myself.

Very appropriate finish token for my 100th run here at Walthamstow! 300laps and 500km around these playing fields - and many happy memories! As much as I love touring, this is home 💛. How was your parkrun today? Wishing you all a happy weekend! #parkrunuk

Well..the week of running all the miles has had a bit of a change of plan as I’ve been at home since yesterday with a fever and aches. The planned 20miler in the morning will have to be a gentle parkrun jog/walk now. C’est la vie. Bobby cat making sure I get my rest today 😻
