sober_socks 🦁

Nothing tastes quite as good as waking up ten years sober feels 🙌 Hands down THE decade of my life 👏 Ive met & worked with the best humans, achieved stuff I genuinely never thought possible and have finally learned that it’s ok for the authenctic me to show up 🫶 #sober

@DiBrander Oh Di that’s so sad. Hug her tight ❤️

We heard the desperately sad news tonight that one of my daughter’s school friends took his own life. I just can’t get my head around it. That poor boy. His family, friends…if I can’t comprehend it, I doubt they will. My daughter’s heart is breaking. Life is incredibly cruel and far too short at times 💔

@ChrisDSmyth Also .. considering Reform plan to strip all working rights and protections, there won’t be any overtime cos employers will contract people to work whatever they like!

@KBsArmy Such an economically stupid proposal. We need a system where people can work less not more - The level of terrible health brought about by our economic system and the terrible lifestyles that come with it is devastating

Actually THIS!

Shout out to @SteAssent & his Carb Load Mates 1st marathon; she followed it to the letter & concluded ‘it bloody works’ A novice w. no long term interest in running who trusted me to support her journey Ste’s carb load is part of the journey & needs to be part of yours!

Thank you lovely #twitterfam 🥰

So tomorrow I’ll slog myself through a marathon and mostly try not to die But in other news, got my first #sleepyslut badge in a while following a long period of day to day emotional spiralling #wemove 😬

@JayssonJay1 Thank you 🙏

@KBsArmy Well done! And good luck!

The great British heatwave is underway. The supermarket is packed. The sausage aisle is busier than a nightclub on New Year’s Eve. One man has no top on. A woman just said “How about some kebabs on sticks? Will they do?” A chap just muttered “mustn’t forget coleslaw”. Someone else simply shouted “BUNS!” It’s all go.

@scottroots @Brady_H @scottroots

@Brady_H I have a 2 hour commute. I run an hour of it, it’s as fast as road transport and not much slower than public transport in London.

In all seriousness. People wonder how I (and others) make time to train ~2 hrs per day. I work from home. Most have a 1.5–2-hr commute.

@TrailsAndAlesUK @nuddypants might be able to help 🙏

Looking for campervan site Yorkshire area ish recommendations for next week please. Toilets, electric, camp fires, dog and child friendly. Maybe a close by shop / pub, not totally off grid. Thanks 🙏

Low key crushing on Victoria Derbyshire 😍

@TrailsAndAlesUK @scottroots I’m depressed that you turn 40 the same year I turn 60. Between us we will be 100 years old 😭

@scottroots Almost a the big one! Cheers brother!

The easy house is back! ☀️ longest run in weeks…and pain free! 🙌🏼 Happy Bday to me!

@DiBrander Nah .. it was a constant joke around my team when I was Ironman training!!

I’m curious. Would you think it was cheeky if someone complained that you ate constantly? I overheard one of my colleagues say it to my boss today. Couldn’t believe my ears 🙈

@scottroots @Strava The de-load week dip has eased my OCD stress at needing to see de-load week dips 😂

It’s that time of the week before @Strava resets for the week… let’s see those mileage charts!!!

@JayssonJay1 @TrailsAndAlesUK I have looked at it as a possible but did wonder about the wind!!

@KBsArmy @TrailsAndAlesUK Nice n flat Boston Lincs but a bugger of a course on a windy day!

This is the honesty & transparency we want to see in running 💪 go check my results bell end. HG could learn a thing or two ;)

@DiBrander Not sure?! I’m a sucker for following the plan. She went rather rogue but I guess does have youth in her favour too 😂

@KBsArmy Inspired by Mum!

So middle child literally pulls off a ‘raw-dogged’ 2.16 half 🤯

@DiBrander I’m very impressed. See 12 week ‘training’ stats ….. 😱

@KBsArmy Well done, middle child!

Good luck to the middle child at Hackney Half 🫶 She’s pretty undertrained and hasn’t run for three weeks, yet set off at 1.50 pace. The youth refuse to be advised by old git parents 😂 Send thorts n prayerz 🙏 And if you are there, pls give her a hug from me 😍
