I just finished a 5.125km run that lasted about 34mm:46ss ! I will have to look back and see when I last posted a run. I think I've got a bit faster perhaps, the incremental improvement is slow, but then

On Saturday afternoon, the weir and footbridge on the River Wey just upstream from the Millmead Lock collapsed. It's a popular place for people to stroll at the weekend, so it's not surprising that there

Yesterday's Global Climate Strike included several hundred school children from the Guildford area. I was walking into town to see what they were getting up to, thinking they'd be at the top of the High

This white building is known as Centenary Hall in Chapel Street, but to those of us who attended Guildford School of Acting in the seventies and eighties it was "Scout Hall" comprised of two

I just finished a 6.165km run that lasted about 0hh:41mm:0ss !It was already warm when I left the house at 7.30am - almost enough to tempt me into the river for a quick swim... almost. There was or had

I just finished a 6.077km run that lasted about 0hh:42mm:24ss !Basically the same run I did the other day but this time I recorded it fully on Strava and probably didn't run quite as fast. One of my excuses

I just finished a 5.323km run that lasted about 0hh:33mm:38ss !Another personal record of 31:31 over 5k. I'm gradually getting there and I trust that one time I will just look at my phone and I'll be under

I just finished a 5.212km run that lasted about 0hh:33mm:6ss !Got out a little earlier and "only" did 5k/30 mins. I'm trying to get to that sub-30 min 5k but it's still elusive. I ran as fast

I just finished a 6.204km run that lasted about 0hh:44mm:20ss !Today the Surrey County Show took over our local park and I didn't know that until I got there. Never mind. I looked at the map and worked

Today I got the closest to 5 miles that I've ever managed. I stopped because I was back where I started, not because I had to and it turns out that was just shy of 8km which is therefore just shy of 5

I stretched my route again today, pushed further up and then along the by-pass. Not a great place to be running, I expect, next to late rush-hour traffic, but most of it is fenced off. It's just a long

I'm still running! Though I haven't written about it here so much. I get out twice a week at the moment, which I'm still pleased with, given sometimes it's bloody freezing and pouring with rain quite a

Today I ran north (ish) along the river instead of my usual southerly exploration. It's trickier because it's through the middle of town, or, more accurately, under the central one-way system (we're not

This morning I ran for 43 minutes and covered 5.5km - I noted it as "unsupervised" - the first 5k (only the second ever!) where I wasn't constantly in the gaze of someone else or chasing someone's

Yep. Did it. I ran 5 of your metric kilometres in the blistering heat (well perhaps 22 degrees) of Guildford Parkrun, twice around Stoke Park and into the arms of my beloved who was so excited she missed

I'm scouting new locations to work in. And trying to keep it light and easy going. I want to start feeling a bit more at home in the town. I'm avoiding the obvious food and coffee places that all feel

This one's a special for my old mates from Guildford School of Acting. Five (and the rest) of us lived here up until the middle of 1987. It's currently got an estate agent's board outside, but I couldn't

A good walk this morning gave me the chance to ponder on this a bit more. It seems to me there are a few things to do: Find the others (there are always others!) Find the places people gather together
