Lots of people running London Marathon a few weeks ago were fundraising for charity, but not everyone can afford to donate. If you wanted to help Jordan Adams (with the fridge), let this video run in the background. The ad revenue will go to his foundation, to try and find a cure for FTD, a form of dementia that he has lost over 12 family members to (including his mum) and that he and his younger brother carry the gene for (over 99% chance of developing it) https://youtu.be/URfFYrg-WVI #running
Another chilled half marathon distance on the delightfully flat railway path. Lots of people out doing their last efforts before the Great Bristol runs next week. 53.3 miles (85.79km) for the week. #running #RunnersOfMastodon #Bristol
It's very odd not to be preparing for London Marathon this evening (after 8 races on the trot), but glad I'm not facing yet another hot year (late April is too late for me and anything over 10° is too hot). Go out slower than you trained for, and hydrate well (if you can carry electrolytes to add, all the better). Take it all in, finishing and not ending up in the medical tent is the aim. #running #LondonMarathon
Artemis was so excited that it's #Caturday that she woke me up at 05:30 to tell me, and is now a little sleepy #CatsOfMastodon
Proud of myself. My interest was piqued by something, so I did some research and educated myself on the topic. I did not, however, post how somebody else was wrong, using my new-found knowledge. I know what's correct, that's enough.
Oh dear. Life of a pro runner. One of the runners I follow has just changed watch sponsor and they have put out a video to showcase it. It's clear the video has been done by the company rather than the runner's usual team. It is 45 minutes (instead of 15-20) and so dull - it's basically just footage of him running in real time with a ticker of time and heart rate (no music). It's so much worse than his usual content, it'll put people off. But they're paying the money, so what can you do?
I got the rear camera on my phone replaced (and the dying battery too). First subject: durr, one of the cats #CatsOfMastodon
Another glorious run with club. Just about managed to unlock the Summer 8 mile route. It was more the day's torrential rain making the off-road bits slippery than losing the light. Still coming back via the zoo instead of across The Downs. But yay! Summer routes! #running #RunnersOfMastodon
Ah, personal growth. So far today I have taken apart a single duvet cover, ironed it, and cut out all of the pattern pieces. Sewed a dress bodice and attached the first tier of the skirt. Next step is inserting the zip. I am stopping for the day. Zips are not a thing you do at the end of the day (I have learned). They are something to have first on your list when you are fresh. #sewing
