In lighter news this is the second week I've been getting up early every day and going for a 40 minute walk before work. It's doing me the world of fucking good.

Don't skip, post you in another country!

EXACTLY! Either that or I'd pretend to be Karen Walker 😅

Definitely still growing, annoyingly it's mostly outside of the jar, but at least it's not dying. There are some leaves appearing on lower branches though so in the late spring I might snip it back down to be inside the glass since it'll have other leaves 😅

Málaga Half Marathon done. Not quite a PR. Wasn't going for one. Managed the goal I aimed for. I need all the water possible now 😅

Friends fear she's a very Saucy Boy

Might be a sweaty mess post run, but fuck me it was good to make the most of the warm sun for the first time in months and get some speed back. 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

This is my best meme work in a long time.

Your friendly gaybourhood spiderYam is still feeling a bit rotten and off sick. Please provide a modest amount of attention. (Not too much.)

Long run done. Slow 🐢, nauseated 🤢, achieved anyway ✅

Pit tax 😉

Had some potatoes that needed using up so decided on some impromptu wedges. (And then did a 40 minute workout while they cooked to burn off the calories 😅)

Begrudgingly awake. I'm not tired, you're just blurry 😴

The face of someone who wishes he was still in bed. (Featuring a beard that's desperately overdue a trim and messy hair from wearing a hood in the rain. She oh so sexy!)

My Garmin spent most of 2025 complaining my HRV was too low. And whilst I know a watch can't actually measure it anyway, it was very insistent. Imagine my annoyance now I'm sleeping better and it's complaining my HRV IS TOO HIGH. Like pick a lane bruh.

Anyway I had my hair done did yesterday so have a selfie 😎

Yes but it's bloody torture when I'm trying to get back my racing weight before my next half marathon 🥺

Got up early to do my workout before I start work. Pls may I just stay in bed instead? 🥺👉👈

When I say it was a muddy trail run yesterday for context these were my shoes afterwards 😬🏃‍♂️

In the last two decades I've only found one shampoo that doesn't hurt my scalp. (I have very sensitive skin and see a dermatologist every three months). Sadly it stopped being available a few years ago - Alphosyl - but every time I'm in a pharmacy I still look just in case it's magically returned.

Since those messages it's grown (at that point it was within the glass - so the top 3 inches is all new growth) So it needs trimming back but that would mean trimming off basically all the leaves it still has left because it's bare lower down...

The face of someone cold and tired and ready for the weekend already. Even though the weekend includes a 10 mile trail race.

8 years of running and I think this is the first time I've braved running in the snow. Honestly fresh snow is not too bad, I was doing much better than the cars 😬

I think this probably means very little running this week. Which is frustrating given I've put on a stone since November. I'm trying to focus on the positives more this year - so maybe this will be a motivation to do more strength work 💪

Since I'm starting to use this app again and I don't really have any media on here - have a highlight from November. Was fucking phenomenal doing the New York Marathon and set the bar very high for 2026 🗽

But I do have TWO hot water bottles under a blanket on my lap to keep me company.

PANIC STATIONS 😬 (seriously if you're charging me for delivery you should do better than Evri)

In TCG Pocket I'm getting the occasional pack with 6 cards. Is this supposed to happen or is it a weird bug? Screenshots of the two packs I opened this morning.

Paying £12 a month for Spotify and I mostly just play this for 8 hours a day to help me focus on work. (I also have running playlists but I now align most of my runs with other people and don't need any music if I'm chatting)
