Miracles do happen! A race photo where I’m not gurning (or looking faintly disturbed) and I’m actually looking at the camera. 😃🕺🏼

Marathon des Terroirs du Valais - 2:59:32. 13th overall. 1st in AG. 2 road marathons in 4 weeks is hard work, especially after setting a PB (2:56:41) 4 weeks ago. Another sub-three for the collection - seven in two and a half years now. 48 years old when I ran my first one. 😃

Thought for the day. #ultrarunning

Lake Annecy Marathon - 2:56:41 for a 14 second PB. Still getting (a little) faster at the age of 51. 😃 3rd in my age group. Fabulous race in a stunning part of the world. Very happy with that!

Seen today - the best running t-shirt ever and so French! 🇫🇷 “To run well, eat mushrooms.” You can’t argue with that! 🍄

Springtime in the Alps…. #chamonix

A glorious morning for a run. 37K with 4 x 5K at marathon pace (1K recovery). The highlight was during the third rep when it was tough going, The Sisters of Mercy’s cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton came on the playlist. I wasn’t expecting that and it was excellent! :-) #Chamonix

Mer de Glace 1969 | 2024 We are a world away from the 20th century climate, already in uncharted territories, and that's just the beginning! 😱 Losing glaciers through sole human emission should make us take action 🛑 But we are apathetic... 📷 @glacionaut

All of humanity’s problems,” Blaise Pascal said in 1654, “stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

Mittelberg Glacier 2011 | 2024 Only 13 years... 😱 Demise of the tongue of the 2nd largest Tirolean glacier (after Gepatsch), lying on the north side of Wildspitze (3768m), Tirol highest peak 🏔 📷 @glacionaut

Thought for the day - “People should exist not as interchangeable parts of an economic machine but as human beings who live and die, impermanent and irreplaceable, each with our own beauty.” (Shohaku Okumura)

The snow on the track has nearly melted. :-) #Chamonix

“I told you if you hold on to clothes long enough they come back in fashion” From the new Private Eye, out now.

You don’t get many better views than that on a road run. #Chamonix

Snowy winter running. #chamonix

The heaviest snowfall we’ve had in a while. And it’s still coming down! ⛄️ #Chamonix
