Andy Fletcher and now Terry Hall, it’s just too much. What a huge loss. So sad, can’t speak. x

So, long time no tweet. But so happy to be back running #LondonMarathon  today. Glorious day, not my best performance, but still loved it. Crew, volunteers and crowd were amazing. Thank you!

Any biomechanists out there use Visual3D to analyse Xsens data? I'm looking for a guide to help me through it. I've tried their wiki, but not enough Xsens specific. #biomechanics #running #Xsens #Visual3D

Odd thing happening with my #garmin #forerunner235 data from today (Sat) and last Sat not syncing with my phone. All other days have. Tried all the switch off and on things. Any ideas? @GarminUK #running #runner #ukrunchat

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this happen. I've been taking HRT for two months and my psoriasis has massively improved, like it did when pregnant. Anyone else experienced this change in hormone link - and does it last? #HRT #menopause #psoriasis

So happy to have run 5km today on my road to recovery, although a bit sad as for the last 10 years or so I’ve run a half marathon on my birthday. Still, not too bad for forty-eleven. #(not)parkrun #parkrun #run

OH has gone full Scottish after that result. #SRBSCO #Scotland
Any PhD students tried having a writing buddy? A friend - from a different discipline - has suggested we give it a go, checking in what we're going to do and have done. How have others gone about it and was it helpful? #PhDchat #AcademicChatter #PhDlife

Tentative run today, just half a mile, but felt so good to be moving again. I properly warmed up, post-stretch and ice the Achilles. Got London 2021 to aim for now!

My OH has put the heating on. It must be seriously cold.
Oh my, just learned about the passing of Shere Hite. One of her books had such a profound impact on me. I thank her for that and wish all her family the best.

Right now, there are people parkrunning in New Zealand. So happy for them - and ever so slightly jealous. Our time will come. #loveparkrun #parkrunuk

Fantastic bike ride along the canal from Hackney to Waltham Abbey. Lovely seeing the families of swans, 2 types of geese and 3 types of duck. Bit muddy on the way back but well worth it. #LoveHackney
