A short write up of my 2025 with my cycling and running stats. Also a photo view of the year.
And there goes August. Here are some photos of the month. As always, this is not exhaustive and some photos will be questionable. Why did I include that? I will probably look back in a few years and wonder what was going through my mind but for a fleeting second in August of 2025, it […]
Hi July! And goodbye. Another busy month with lots of cycling, running, gym, a pug event, lovely food, coffees, it was Nottingham Pride, and Olio amongst many others. Here are some photos from the month of July.
I am beyond apologising to myself. It is somehow nearly the end of July. I had the greatest of intentions to write this on July 1st but life is busy and as I realised the day of the month I nearly let out a sigh. I was tempted to stop doing this but it is […]
The month of February whizzed by. January felt like it would never end and as I type this we are already in March. The 1st March has been sunny and bright but a bit nippy. February generally was quite a grey month with the odd bit of sunshine here and there but cold interspersed with […]
It feels like just yesterday I was watching the fireworks on BBC One but simulateously feels as if the month of January was the longest ever. It just never ended! It is day 32/365. 8.7% of the year complete. Usually I am financially careful in my life but this past month I was particularly mindful […]
Last year, and for each year right back to 2016, around the final day of the year or beginning of the next, I have written a yearly blog post review and selected a lot of photos. I would always underestimate how long it would take and end up, rather bizarrely, getting stressed. This year, I decided […]
October whizzed by. It is now November?! Below are some photo highlights from the month. A busy month, as always. Cycling as much as ever. This month I had two bicycle punctures. I haven’t had one for ages. It may be the time of year or it may be that my tyre is wearing out. […]
With a coldness in the air and an ever increasing desire to turn on my central heating, it is certainly now October. September is over and in this blog post I shall put together a little photo review of the month gone by. As always I have been cycling a lot. And as I have […]
I cannot remember exactly when it was, but with a couple of months to go, I signed up to do my first ever half-marathon after hearing how many of my fellow attendees of Nottingham Frontrunners had already signed up to do it! I had already done the 10km back in March, so it was time […]
I would never have expected to write the following. I joined a running group! It is so strange that only this time last year I only ran for a few months and that was on the treadmill. Many years ago in Sixth Form, to get me up and well running – in the morning I […]
Dear Diary, Quick update. Today is 32/366. 8.7% of the year is already complete. It feels like I have blinked and the month has gone but equally, as it is January, the month after festivities and extended break of Christmas, it seems to have lasted a long time. So far this month I have kept […]
Dear Diary, The first full week of 2024 has come to an end and I can safely say I have abided by one of my New Year’s Resolutions – to be more active. I did set numerous others which I have broken, including getting to bed earlier, he writes at 1.40am, but increasing my activity […]
Wooah. That took a while. I have spent some time on the very last day of 2023, and in truth a few days after, reflecting on the year gone by. The main way this was done was by looking at all of the photos I have taken from the year. There were a lot of […]
I talk about joining a running group - Nottingham Frontrunners. A little of my history of getting into running and how Parkrun and Frontrunners have become a set part of my week.
