At the time of my last entry I was thirteen days into run-every-bloody-day January, had done far too many miles up and down the squidgy trails of Beckenham Place Park, joined a shit gym in an effort to take pressure of my legs, not used it, done more squidgy hill miles, and got totally complacent … Continue reading How RED January Ruined My Life
This is my second attempt to take part in the MIND initiative, RED, which requires participants to run (or exercise) every single day for a whole month in order to do something-or-other to do with mental health. You may recall last year's fell by the wayside somewhat when I caught a nasty disease from a … Continue reading RED January 2020
Unfortunately, with my terrible lurgy at the end of January, RED ended with more of a fizzle than a bang. I did make an effort to do some kind of exercise every day, but for a week I was too ill to do any of the things that I would normally count as a proper … Continue reading The end of RED
This weekend's activities have been Things I Would Have Done Anyway - South Norwood parkrun and a RunThrough 10k in Crystal Palace - and finally I find myself without enough time to post some musings on running and mental health, although that may mean I will not have time to post about South Norwood parkrun … Continue reading RED: How Running Saved My Sanity

January 6th: After staying up too late drinking cocktails with chillis in them and discussing the minutiae of running watches, I was in no mood to do anything and would probably have spent the entire day watching TV if it were not for this blasted initiative. Instead, … Continue reading RED: Days 5 to 10
This is a day on which I would not normally have exercised. A rest day, if you call getting up at 4:30am and doing twelve hours' work rest. I reached my 12,000 minimum daily steps target as I got home just after 8pm, a sizeable chunk of that coming from hunting vegan sausage rolls in Waterloo. (They … Continue reading RED: Day 4
This January, I'm taking part in the Mind (mental health charity) initiative, RED (Run Every Day). The name is a bit misleading, because the rule is that you actually have to exercise every day in January, not necessarily run. Actually running every day is probably a bad idea for a lot of people, especially those prone … Continue reading RED January
