Rainbow on today's easy run ππ
The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trumpβs illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

Reform are in denial about why they lost by 12% in Gorton & Denton (60% white, 80% UK-born) after losing by 11% in Caerphilly (98% white, 98% UK-born) to Plaid Cyrmu
Both seats unusual in seeing more people vote than at last Welsh Senedd/last GE: more voters turned out to stop Reform than supoort

What the actual fuck is going on right now?? πππ€¬π€¬π€¬
This escalation risks plunging the region into devastating conflict.
There is no substitute for diplomacy and respect for international law. UK Government must press for de-escalation and oppose any unlawful use of force by rogue states.
Excellent indeed π
The good news is that I got a 1st in my degree!! I now have a BA, a PGCE and a BSc. Two career changes: Office Manager to Teacher of Outdoor Education to Paramedic. You're never too old π
After not being ill for 6 years (including Covid) I was convinced I had an immune system of steel, particularly considering my line of work π
This cold is refusing to go completely though and running feels sooo hard π« 90 mins run/walk was all I could manage today.

Shame on the BBC.
βOur classrooms are empty because the graveyards are fullβ: Iranβs students on why they are protesting again
Rain on plastic.
Cold Tennessee air.
And the architect of chaos watching it all unfold.
Repost for a chance of winning a 4x6 print. Iβll select 40 at random to celebrate the 40th edition of the Barkley Marathons.

I invented a new snack on night shift. I call it the Walkers Dairylea sandwich. Genius.

The 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. That's over 35 Million people. Let that sink in.
I sometimes feel like I'm completely alone in my circles. While I'm getting angry about genocide and ethnic cleansing and power hungry paedophile dictators and politicians that are owned by oil companies, my friends/colleagues are busy buying shit on Amazon and Shein π€·ββοΈπ₯Ί

Today's run along the coastal path ended up being a little wetter than planned. Can't believe I decided that waterproof socks would not be required π€¦ββοΈπ¬

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100
The only joy of my shift overrun tonight is being able to keep checking for updates π€£
At 3:26pm a runner was seen smiling after seeing a French flag at the fire tower. #BM100
Phew!
When does the search party go out? π¬
I must have dozed off or something, but somehow I missed Max King dropping a couple hours ago, after making it to book 4 on loop 3. Two runners remain on loop 3; 1 remains on loop 1. #BM100
Mathieu Blanchard quit on loop 3 due to cold and is tapped out. #BM100
