Got my brain scanned. Learned some stuff about dementia. Now worrying a bit less about dementia. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

Ran 14k sure I was gonna PB, then 7k wondering if I would even finish. Grim.

Well, that was hot and horrible and slow. But, most importantly, it’s OVER!

45 minutes to the Ranelagh Harriers half-marathon. Bring it on!

Meant to run 14k this morning but ended up doing 18. Great practice for Sunday’s Ranelagh half-marathon, I suppose - but I wish I’d done another 3.1 so I could have just skipped the bloody thing

I can’t stop watching it

Another 100 push-ups in the bag, courtesy of Simon Lord 🇺🇦, who bribed me into another month of the 100-a-day challenge. I won’t be posting about the rest of them, but the ordeal continues. And I think you can still sponsor me! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Done it! That’s another 111 push-ups and I’ve finished the Cancer Research challenge. If you’ve sponsored me, THANK YOU. If you haven’t, there’s still time. GIVE GIVE GIVE! One more donation and I will do 100 push-ups a day for the whole of May. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 100 push-ups in the bag! Please sponsor me before the challenge ends. It’s for a great cause. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 130 push-ups in the bag. My brain says they must be getting easier but my body isn’t convinced. Some lovely money would help! If you can sponsor me for Cancer Research UK, please do. And if you already have, thank you! We’re up to £530 so far. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 131 push-ups in the bag - and still a few days for you to support Cancer Research UK. Dig deep! And thanks to all the generous people who have sponsored me already. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

That’s another 126 push-ups done, and £510 raised so far for Cancer Research UK. If you’ve already sponsored me, THANK YOU! If you haven’t, GIVE GIVE GIVE! If we get past £750 I’ll do it for another month (and probably stop banging on about it) fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 101 inelegant, rushed and bad-form push-ups in the bag! Sponsor me! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 105 push-ups in the bag! Please give generously! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

101 push-ups without a break! All with rotation. That’s the first solid stretch this month. Normally it’s 20/30/40, little pause, drink of water, coffee etc, then repeat. Remarkable what you can do when you just want the bloody thing done. Sponsor me! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

That’s another 126 push-ups done, and now I have an appointment at the … sigh … gym. You can ease the pain by sponsoring me. Cancer Research needs your £££, €€€, $$$, ¥¥¥ etc! fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

It’s me again! theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Another 134 push-ups in the bag! How about sponsoring me for the final 1,000 or so? Cancer Research needs your money! And THANK YOU if you’ve already given. £450 raised so far. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…

Another 121 push-ups done! That’s more than 2,000 since the start of the month. Thank you if you’ve already sponsored me; if not, there’s still time! Give give give! If it helps, think of it as investing in my discomfort fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/phils-giv…
