Having been goaded into it by @maxrushden.bsky.social, I am doing the London Landmarks half-marathon in April for Great Ormond Street Children's Charity. I am 52, overweight, hideously unfit and I hate running. Please donate, if you can spare a few quid ...

Boring Running News: I ran my first proper 5km today in 37min. A mere 24m (plus change) off WR pace. Keep an eye on your rear-view mirror, Joshua Cheptegei!

It's going well. It was a fine performance this evening but you could have saved yourself a lot of time by typing "11th" instead of "just three points off fourth place".
@barryglendenning.bsky.social Hi Barry! Everton just beat Man Utd 1-0 away after playing with 10 men for 80 minutes. They’re now above big spending reigning PL Champions Liverpool & are just 3 points off 4th place. How’s the ‘Everton for relegation’ attention seeking thing going for you?👋

@23carra.bsky.social Please ask your MNF guest Roberto Martinez why he keeps picking Cristiano Ronaldo when his presence in the Portugal side is clearly detrimental to their chances of winning next year's World Cup.

It would be fair to say lessons have been learned from Wales' dismal opening 20 minutes against England last week. If anything, Clive, they've started *too* well and scored *too* early.
