Six weeks since my last run due to – oh – everything and it was tough. I decided to ease myself back in tonight. Up 1.1kg since the end of July, but then I have been on holiday eating mahoosive dinners!

Fathers’ Day 32k Cycle Ride

A bit of a different route here having to be diverted out to the Blackwell Tunnel Southern Approach due to all the residential development there. The usual break for alcohol and snacks at Zizzi’s Canary Wharf in the sunshine.
