And this year the very generous crew at Running Free gave me my outfit for my six star Tokyo marathon. It’s a beautiful cobalt blue by Ron Hill. But !!! As you can now see, I’ve turned into Super Mario 🤣🤣🤣
Appropriate considering my location I guess.

So I always wear a red hat so I’m easy to spot …..

So finally I have got to the start line of the Tokyo Marathon 2025. After a long journey of a mountain bike crash and subsequent spinal surgery. I have managed to get match fit this time. One year on after my first ever DNS last year. Thank you to Emad Shenouda. The surgeon.
Thank you to Eve Filmer, Oli White at running free for all the kit.
(although I now realise I’m going to look like Super Mario. Pictures to follow 🤣)
Thank you to Martin Yelling 😉
And thanks to Cath ‘Gertz’ Cruse-Drew for helping get me through the tough times. I’ll see you all after I’ve collected my six star medal. At last. It’s only taken 19 years !!!😱

Another storm is imminent and so it puts us on high alert as to whether it’ll be safe to host Poole parkrun this Saturday. We will do a safety check as early as we can on Saturday morning (bearing in mind it’s pretty dark in the mornings at silly o’clock). So please be patient and we will let you know via social media as soon as we know…..

⚠️STORM DARRAGH⚠️
We are keeping a close eye on the weather.
If there is still a forecast of strong winds for Saturday as currently forecast our event is at risk of being cancelled. With large areas of woodland on our course it’s just not safe. There’s high risk of branches and falling trees.

We do everything we can to go ahead but the safety of our volunteers, runners and walkers is always our top priority.

‼️We will update you all as soon as possible, so please watch out for further updates, and let others know.

Having secured a charity place for Tokyo 2024. I then had a MTB crash and subsequent spinal surgery and had to give up my place. Tokyo don’t allow medical deferrals. But through the 6 star ballot I have been given a place for 2025. All I have to do now is get back my marathon legs 🏃🏼 and lungs 🫁.

First snow of the winter. How exciting. But amazed how it affects our ability to commute. Just had a patient cancel. But it gives me a nice coffee break 🤣

Well this takes some doing. I hope Eddie doesn’t get any ideas 😳

The extreme challenge began at South Africa's most southerly point on 22 April, 2023.

Hi everyone. I trust you are all having a great summer. A client of mine has developed an app which enables individuals to create a walking bus for people who are commuting on their own and would prefer to have company. You have to create a group so you don’t walk with strangers. It is a new venture so I said I would share it so the net can get cast as far as possible. She is particularly keen for it be made known to schools colleges and universities where walking safely can be an issue. If you feel comfortable then please share with your friends and associates.

Time to get squatting and planking

All exercise is good for blood pressure but research suggests strength training is most effective.
