It was one of those days where if I wasn’t actually taking part in Janathon then the run wouldn’t have happened. It was a full day teaching followed by a Samaritans evening duty.

So it was laps of the school field as soon as the bell went for the end of day. As I was doing about half mile laps I took the opportunity to turn it into a speed session: alternating between slow and fast.

3.1 miles in all. Another day done.

‘The Beresford’ by Will Carver

The first book of the year is one of my Christmas presents. I love Will Carver.

This book is great: you should definitely give it a read.

You’re not going to get any spoilers here. All I would say is that it is horrific, funny, intense, brilliant and everything in between.
