Black Sheep by @sabrunsmiles is a deeply honest memoir exploring identity, belonging, and the lasting impact of racism and exclusion. An insightful and moving read for anyone wanting to better understand racism, and the transformative power of sport and human connection.

As a coach, you can only take someone as deep as you’ve been yourself. Nobody embodies that truth like @steven_cristien, Sharp’s Head of Coaching. Join us tomorrow on @ShawnRyanShow as he shares his powerful story, from a childhood marked by tragedy, to serving as a Navy Recon

I might not have done as much running as usual this year, but I’ve stayed active and walked almost every single day. My little run/walk buddy is very happy about that too. ❤️

Collected 8 bags of litter this morning in the woods. A tent had been abandoned there too (which included a pair of crusty undergarments 🤮) 8 bags full in the end, Poppy enjoyed her extra sniff time. Logged on @trashfreetrails as mostly single use plastic bottles @pawsonplastic

Old books, with a sprinkle of magic? The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods is just my type of cosy bedtime reading. Loved it, but do wish the ending hadn’t been so rushed. Still so many unanswered questions.

Jenny Colgan’s The Secret Christmas Library is light, predictable, and charming in places — an entertaining story wrapped in plenty of Christmas warmth. Nothing groundbreaking, but pleasantly festive and captivating enough to keep me turning the pages.

Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan is a quiet, beautifully human tale that whispers rather than shouts, but leaves you thinking for days.

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt is very science-heavy - I skimmed a fair bit - but it’s packed with information and ideas. It has definitely made me reassess my own social media habits.

@NiallHarbison A tender, unsettling, and thought provoking novel about AI. I finished it last month and still can’t stop thinking about it.

The tree is up - as tradition dictates - on the eve of my birthday. Not feeling especially like celebrating after what has been a very difficult week but the show must go on, as they say. Sending love to anyone struggling at the moment, and my inbox is always open.

Today’s walkies. We’re so lucky. Watched a majestic heron glide in circles over our heads as we walked, and saw a kestrel hovering above its lunch, which it caught then flew away to devour. Poppy also flushed out a pheasant, then did zoomies when I told her not to chase it.

Just done my Christmas book shopping on @bookshop_org_UK - you can choose to support your local independent bookshop rather than line the pockets of Amazon and the like. I’m supporting my lovely local @ebbandflobooks in Chorley Happy Christmas, and remember to shop local 🥰

Are @Strava really locking their Year in Sport behind a paywall? Think they’re missing a trick - must get a lot of advertising when people normally share it like they do. #ukrunchat
