TweetIt’s been an irritating year in running. For whatever reason, I keep destroying running shoes. I’ve gone through 5 pairs in the last year. The most pathetic being 27km in a pair of Inov-8 Mudclaws that started falling apart after 2 runs. Done with them as a brand, a shame having used them on and off for the past 13… Read more →
TweetOdd year that passed, not as many things completed, but that’s the way for many of is. Projects put on hold. Goals set aside for a while until they become realistic again.

TweetA few photos from today, the rest are over on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmHDUnN8 All from the A7, mostly with the manual Canon 70 – 200mm but a few with the 18mm Sigma lens. It’s really soft, but it opens up some interesting options for what is a boring flat urban race. Doubt I’ll use it at any of the others this… Read more →
TweetBack on a real bike. Back in the summer part of the park. Back on the camera side of a fell race. Read more →
