Slump

Posted on July 4, 2016 by abradypus

I’ve got a slump on.  I could quite happily ensconce myself on the youth hostel sofa and while away the day with a book.  I won’t, of course. There isn’t a cat.

Bradford parkrun

Posted on April 30, 2011 by abradypus

I wrapped up my April goals today by completing the Bradford parkrun. Three laps that start with a long gentle downhill and end with a short, sharp uphill so no sprint finish for me today.  I really must build some hill work … Continue reading →

Return of the sloth

Posted on April 6, 2011 by abradypus
