The London Marathon Show 2025 opened yesterday, so I headed down to the Expo, collected my race number and t-shirt and made a short video about it. #londonmarathon2025

Bank Holiday madness in the UK. I've just been to a rubber duck race. 😂

Yesterday saw my last long run ahead of #londonmarathon2025 taking in Henlow Bridge Lakes #parkrun to see a club record being set for the VM80 category 🎉

I also waffled on about the benefits of a #parkrunsandwich for doing a long run youtu.be/QfN7d4kXoaQ?...

Not often you see a hattrick and a hattrick of assists at a match.

Quite often you wonder how the sponsors arrived at the man of the match verdict, and that was no different today.

Dusting this thing off and giving it another whirl - let's see if I stick with it.

Adventures from an icy Letchworth #parkrun this morning. Amazing work from the event team to get this on this morning 🙌🙌🙌

Amazed youngest jumped out of bed demanding to do parkrun this morning 🤣❄️.

Lovely run round Letchworth #parkrun and well done to the amazing event team for getting it on despite the ice 👌

Very tempted to do some #parkruntourism tomorrow, but suspect the prospect of icy courses and late cancellations means its more sensible to stay local... #parkrun

Beautiful day for the run, if on the ❄️ side. #londonmarathon2025 training continues with a lovely 5 more miles in the bank.

N is for Northala Fields parkrun. Mounds made from the rubble of the old Wembley Stadium. 7 more letters of the parkrun alphabet to go, and 1st week of London marathon training nearing completion. #londonmarathon2025 #parkrun

Wycombe were good and deserving of the win, but we didn't need to gift wrap it with a bow.

Bring on Sunday and Bristol Rovers.

Not sure the pair of glasses found were actually lost at the Boro.

Reckon the owner couldn't take what they were seeing any more.

London marathon 2025 training starts today. Upper body gym session to get going, trainers get dug out tomorrow for the running to begin. #londonmarathon2025

Got stuck on Part 2 of this one and no idea why. Was using the C# Point class. By removing it and using x and y, all works. :shrug: Might try adding it back in and see what happens?!

Nothing quite like the mud and hills in a XC run. Attempting to fight off an afternoon snooze though 😴😴😴

Game of the day is at Ayr today. Up the honest men. ⚫⚪

Busy weekend so playing a little bit of catch up. Got most of this done Saturday morning but didn't get round to running it.

Not sure why my Part 2 didn't work - found the same approach on YouTube that got me through - now to compare and contrast because on the face of it, my non-working code is pretty similar. :(

Not sure why my original solution to P2 didn't work - I'll see if I can find time to compare/contrast. Ended up restarting and doing from scratch, more efficient way with single Regex. #csharp

Was lazy with Part 2 so struggled and went round in circles for a bit. Once I'd done some sensible refactoring, all fell into place quite quickly.
