I’m a professional cynic but my heart’s not in it
Not a bad start to the week!

Had another crack the dreaded Jenkin Hill this morning, one of the steepest streets in a city famously built on seven hills.

Failed again and had to walk.

Next time, my old foe, next time.

Felt like I’ve been coasting a little recently, so tried to chew pavement a little harder this morning. Seems to have worked too.

So long daylight, see you next Spring

Had to take a few days off; with work, a stiff thigh and Mrs Silent’s birthday.

Great to be back!

The 80s. When throwing bananas at John Barnes and other black players was just light hearted banter.

Yesterday evenings run along the canal. First time over had to stop and wait for a level crossing too.

Morning run in beautiful crisp autumn sunshine.

And the Philadelphia on the map isn’t the one in Pennsylvania, didn’t run that far!

Gorgeous run into the countryside and back this morning.

Second pic shows Venus above the pylons (not the best photo, she was a lot brighter in real life).

One last run in the sun before heading back to the UK tomorrow.

As a bonus, a photo of me passing by, taken by Mrs Silent from the balcony of our hotel room.

As a kid, PE lessons would sometimes involve running round Norfolk Park, positioned on the hill next our school.

All our class dreaded it, as it always seemed to be raining.

Chose to run round it this morning, and it’s lovely!
