Running Diary closed gracefully last year after 19 years of bringing runners and races together. Thanks for your support along the way. Still running so decided to keep the Twitter account with slight change to the name. Hopefully we’ll 'race' again this year. Happy New Year all.

Anyone into long-form instrumental music? If so, I recommend a listen to and hopefully a purchase of Astronomia, the new album by Brett Lewis, which was part recorded at The Beacon, Mike Oldfield’s home back in the 70’s. brettlewis.bandcamp.com/albu…

It's not "Christmas Eve babe", but before it is too late and we start the New Year celebrations, here's something my band 'Kite' put together for a bit of fun, just before Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well over a year now since my last run due to knee injury. A first world worry I know as there are many many worse things, but anyone else going through this frustration?
