Running in the Midpack – learning on the run

April 27, 2021
Running has taught me so much about myself but sometimes you need something to challenge you. Running in the Midpack has done just that.

In my latest post, I talk about racism in sport and society. I was ten years old the first time I watched my dad being racially abused on a cricket field. Thirty-seven years on, we are societally still in denial and a social media blackout only begins to address a much bigger issue. Read “From Kirkstall to Keyboard Warriors” by clicking the link in my bio and then clicking LATEST POST. #noplaceforracism #racism

These words are so true and it’s a wonderful and timely prompt for me. My smile has been absent and it’s time to remember my why and walk away from the things which erode the gratitude I have for my journey.

Four years ago today, my 10k PB of 39:20. I wasn’t even meant to be running as it was just a week after having completed three marathons in 22 days. However, I learnt on the morning that my friend, Sarah, had taken her own life earlier that week. Four years on, it still feels surreal. She was in my peer recovery group after my final suicide attempt and became a very special part of my life. It saddens me deeply that I’m the only one left of five, two by natural causes, two for whom life was just too much in the end. It also drives me. I don’t live for them, that’s not possible. However, I’m driven by the opportunity to make sure that future generations will never feel that this is the only solution, that their lives and legacies aren’t for nothing. The effort on my face tells more than my words ever could. RIP mate, always. #mentalhealth #suicide #bipolar

I reckon we probably left some of our cares and anxieties behind as well. Lovely, relaxing day 🙏🏾❤️

The train out of London was perfect. The train back seems to have a disproportionately high number of passengers exempt from masks and an equally high number of idiots who think you wear a mask either under your nose or, worse still, your chin. All in all, good job by @sw_railway making me feel safe for much of the journey, my first public transport in over a year.

As we are in #MHAW2021 , now seems a good chance to let you know that I’ll be on @BBCSoP on 23 May talking about #mentalhealth, running & Jesus.

My faith underpins everything I am & is the real joy that drives my running, fundraising and campaigning ❤️🙏🏾

Very excited to be going ‘into the building’ at @HTClapham for the first time since leading prayers in December at our Christmas Carol Service.

The team have done amazingly to keep things going remotely but being there in praise with our brothers & sisters will be so uplifting.
