Welcome to my personal blog where I share my adventures in running and my passion for craft beer. As I’ve hit the big 5-0, I wanted a space to log my experiences, stories, and the occasional musings – often with a cold brew in hand. It’s unedited, unfiltered, and just for the sheer joy of it.
This blog is a personal project, a digital diary of sorts, where I combine two of my great loves: running and craft beer. Not always at the same time! Think of it as a chronicle of my physical challenges on the road and trails, followed by the rewarding exploration of unique and delicious craft beers and how I sometimes join them together.
You won't find perfectly polished prose or meticulous proofreading here. This is raw, authentic storytelling, capturing the immediate thoughts and feelings of my journey. While it's primarily for my own enjoyment, I hope you might find a tale or two that resonates with you.
Dive into my most recent ramblings about training, races, beer reviews, or anything in between. From the triumphs of hitting a new personal best to the discovery of an exceptional new IPA, this is where I share it all. Stay tuned for regular updates, and feel free to join me on this adventure.
Well, it's been a while since I last ran through a blizzard. For once, the weather forecast had actually got it right. I stepped out of the door just after 4:30am for my usual morning run, having made the unusually sensible decision to trust the forecast and wear my waterproof running jacket despite the fact that the sky looked perfectly clear.
I recently mentioned to a colleague that I'd started a blog centred around two of my favourite things: running and beer.
My aim with this blog has never been to post every day. Quite the opposite, in fact.
As the evenings steadily grow darker and the temperatures finally start behaving as they should for the time of year, I tend to see it as a signal rather than a deterrent. Summer mileage is all well and good, but autumn and winter are when I usually start upping the ante. The morning runs get a little longer, the Saturday adventures get a little more ambitious, and before long I'm convincing myself that running ridiculous distances in near-freezing temperatures is perfectly normal behaviour.
