I've spent late summer/autumn running in Hilly Marathon fresh socks which I love, great wicking and super fast drying but they are anklets (Hilly don't seem to make crews) and very little cushioning, so wanted something a but more padded and thicker for winter. Balegas always get rave reviews whereever I look - certainly the quality is there. No complaints this morning and the extra cushioning was nice but it was 15c out so probably a bit warm for them. Think they are usually between about £20-£25 a pair because of import costs but got then on Amazon Prime for £16 quid. Might give the Silvers or Hidden Comforts a go when the warmer weather comes back around. I have found spending the extra money on running socks has made a lot of difference for me, comfort wise. I'm prepared to spend on Socks and Shoes, everything else I'm not too fussed about. As for shoe upgrades - nothing more annoying than when you love a shoe to death and then the new release completely moves away from the version you are used to!

I should have stayed in bed, but a pair of Balega Blister Resist crew socks landed with me on Thursday night and I've been desperate to give them a run out. Yes, I'm so sad now that I get excited by running socks.

Well that was ****ing hideous. 5.5k in just under half hour - no matter what direction I turned it was a headwind. Like running through ****ing treacle.

****s sake. Edit - right, off for a slow 5K because its better than nothing.

Pipes knows something

Atmosphere is wank because most of the fans couldn't give a flying fook about football, let alone the club. Just there because it's something to do, prawn sandwich willy pullers. They'll all **** off if we start dropping down the leagues again or end up in the Championship for a few years.

Its pretty clear at this point that the people running the club have no idea how to run the club. It's also clear now how much of an active role in our success Vichai played. He ran the club, he was also always visible, he had real friendships with staff and players, he was clued in to what was going on both on and off the pitch. Top, well, Top is ****ing useless and anybody still in denial about that is deluding themselves.

People saying keep makes me bring up sick in my mouth. I can only imagine what their day to day lives must be like with such little expectation.

He's ****ing shit just get rid.

So much for the ****ing gormless twat being a former youth coach.

Absolute dinosaur. Zero game plan today.

Dreadful

I'm going to do my long run tomorrow as normal in the pissing rain and wind as punishment for being a wimp today.

I've skipped Parkrun today and already feel guilty. I've managed two 3.5k pre-work morning runs this week, that's it. I'm going to have to run in the god awful weather at some point this weekend.

Chelsea without Bueno and Abdul. Fml.

Dis you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning Para?

We're truly shit at them too.

This club fml.

Best thing about BlueSky is the Starter Packs. Great way to follow likeminded people associated with specific and niche interests. Have also found I've randomly been added to some Starter Packs by other people which means I'm getting good quality followers in return. A great idea.

At its peak during John Parrott and Ally McCoist.

It's only good when British Politics is a parody of itself. Sadly the reason we aren't getting anymore Thick of It - Politics was so bonkers during the last decade that it couldn't even be satirised.

Two big ones always come to mind for me The late great father of ecology Edward O Wilson: E.O. Wilson And the late great Aldo Leopold with my favourite of all time and one that will always resonate hard with me: Aldo Leopold

She knew Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in a previous life, clearly.

Cracking Marathon and a surprisingly quick and flat course apparently. Second fastest course in the world apparently!

The One Show Being spoken to like I'm watching cbeebies gets a tad tedious after all of 3 minutes.
