Little video from the trail when I saw my wife and the dog! (Early on the run before I fell to pieces)

Day 2: Hell on the Fell (Friday 19th June) 6-mile course through Stalybridge then up Hobson Moor. My support crew would see me start then again at the finish. Very challenging with lots of climbing & steep descent before the finish. I only nearly fell once! Total ascent: 278m Chip time: 53:19

Pic of me and my dad before the start. I took a vest to carry water for this one knowing the climbing would be harder.

Photo of me just crossing the finish line.

On to the actual races then... Day 1: X-Trail 10k (Thursday 18th June) This first event featured somewhat more climbing than the elevation profile suggested. But it was a good turnout and very enjoyable with some evening sun coming out. Total ascent: 168m Chip time: 45:43

Blurry-ass photo of me running in a Prostate Cancer UK vest.

Possibly even blurrier photo of me running.

Stop. Calling. Them. Protesters. They are setting homes on fire. They are terrorists.

Headline from The Guardian reads: "Anti-immigration protesters in Belfast set bins and vehicles on fire amid unrest over knife attack"

Updated now thankfully but still poor and still includes "asked for kiss" in the headline. Really diminishes the crime.

Updated BBC headline that now includes "Man who grabbed woman's hair"

Not now weird freeview channel!

"Open the strait you crazy bastard"

Authoritarian theocracy you say...?

A group of people appear to be praying around Donald Trump in the white house oval office. Many are touching him or reaching out with one hand woth their heads lowered.

Sooo.... these people are really important and you will give them better pay and conditions then Wes...?

Guardian headline: "Strikes could collapse flu-hit NHS amid worst crisis since Covid, says Streeting"

Good to know our media treat war and death as an opportunity to roll out an arguably terrible play on words...

Front page from the Metro newspaper with an arguably terrible pun about Donald Trump and armageddon.

Seriously, what kind of argument is this? The material is available TO BUY worldwide. BBC News - The AI copyright standoff continues - with no solution in sight - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Clip from the BBC article reads: "Others point out that material made by the likes of Elton John is available worldwide"

Obviously it seems weird to "like" a post like this but I appreciate the reporting and wish you solidarity against the Russian war criminals. It's also pretty jarring to see these posts next to each other:

Like, you're not going into an election. Why are you talking about "beating" another party? How about enacting some policies that help people? Actually govern.
