November 1st 2020 Today I was so enjoying slip-sliding around an aging, autumnal forest on my run this morning, that I began to regret imposing this arbitrary distance restriction on myself. I’ve committed to running 5k every day, and so … Continue reading Arbitrary
October 6th 2020 Today the Cheltenham Harriers crashed my run and made me feel inferior as hell. Bastards. I’m 155 days into my streak of running 5k every day (which is like, quite impressive, right?) and this evening I was just running my route up to and around Pittville Park like I always do and suddenly literally a fucking hundred runners come speeding past me. I’m assuming it was the Cheltenham Harriers (which is a local athletics club, if that wasn’t obvious) because they’re all fast as fuck. There I was, running at my 5 min/km pace, and 100 of … Continue reading Harriers
October 2nd 2020 Today I bought a new pair of trainers for the sole reason of motivating me to go for a run. I finished work at like 5:30, and it was raining, and it was miserable, and my feet … Continue reading React

August 5th 2020 Today I found it really strange how the time of day affects my run. I run the same 5k circuit every single day, and have done for 94 days now. For the first 70 or so of … Continue reading Circadian
July 19th 2020 Today I had a run, a roast, and a round of golf. That’s pretty fucking close to a perfect Sunday. There’s not much missing from that. That’s the holy trinity of Sunday activities. I woke up at … Continue reading Trinity
June 22nd 2020 Today I’ve made it halfway to 100 consecutive days of running 5k. That is to say, I’ve made it to 50 consecutive days of running 5k. I phrase it like that for two reasons: To pad out … Continue reading Milestone
May 31st 2020 Today I completed four straight weeks of running five kilometres every day. There was a brief stretch of leg pain a few days ago where I wasn’t sure I was going to make it, but I seem … Continue reading They
