The Weakly: welcome back

Normal service is resumed in the Running Sucks house. Here are some updates on what I've been doing, writing, and reading.

Welcome back. It’s been a nice month off. What’s been going on?

I was in ‘Europe’ for all of August. I put that in inverted commas because primarily I was in east London, in my parents’ spare room, but I also popped up to Scotland (more family), and over to Greece (various mythological temples).

While I was in the UK, I immersed myself in the rich running scene that has been cultivated there. I even organized a panel discussion at Knees Up - the wonderful new running space (cafe, events, activities, shop) from the creators of Your Friendly Runners.

If you look closely, you’ll see some microphones and cameras. You’ll be able to watch the best bits of the panel as soon as that all those enormous files get edited. You’ll find some bits on here, and some on my Instagram.

What else? There are 2,000 people reading this newsletter now. That’s a nice round number to say out loud, isn’t…
