3-4 times a week is good going im impressed.
I don't run much through the summer i run more at this time of year, its dark around 4ish and once kiddo has hit the sack at 8:30 my Mrs picks up a book and im at a loose end so i go for a run possibly twice a week.
I take a (app free) phone just in case i fall on rocks and break my ankle but my watch annoys me jingling around my wrist so i leave it at home or in the car. Im only running for the fun of it, i don't want to loose weight or increase my times/fitness (although it would be nice) its just a pleasure to be running outdoors. I used to run with a headtorch but if the moons out once your away from light pollution, give your eyes a good 15mins to adjust and its amazing, like daylight. Once you get back to streetlights your as blind as a bat.
Feel free to start a running tread if you like sporky.

Im already sick of hearing about Meghan & Harry, who the flips paying for this wedding? will the Queen take a dividend out of her vast offshore investments which she's squirreled away so she doesn't have to contribute towards the care of the society which keeps her in the lap of fucking luxury? or will we be paying for a bunch of extremely wealthy toffs to scoff canape's while dancing the hokey cokey?
We need a re-think, the systems the wrong way around.
Alright ' it could be worse we could have Trump' i hear you say, but at least Trump is hilarious! his presidency is a total car crash, i was driving back from North Yorks yesterday listening to some debate on the radio re- his recent misjudgment, and i had tears of laughter rolling down my face, you just don't get this level of unintentional humour from the royals.

It sounds like i have a lot of axes to grind doesn't it?

Too true^
Ultimately we all seem to be corruptible by nice things, here's a perfect example...
Near us we have a couple of starkly contrasting cafe's, one is a wooden hut on the allotments where you can go buy excess produce mainly beans, potatoes and the like, you can get a decent cup of tea or coffee for 70p, chipped cups, wash your own pots 'donations welcome' type of establishment, the other is a stately home afternoon tea type of affair for moneyed pensioners in pastel trousers who've taken golden handshake retirement. Mini-soul likes to drop by here in the summer for a small tub of exorbitantly priced ice-cream, its served on a china plate with a really nice spoon, he prefers the plastic spoon you get free under the lid (you can get into the corners of the tub better with the plastic spoon) so when he's not looking my mrs has been sneaking the posh spoons into her handbag
When she calls at the allotments for a cup of tea she sneaks them out of her bag 'incognito like' and into their cutlery tray, and vise-versa she does the old 'spoon-switcheroo' for the tea-stained 'allotment' spoons when she goes for ice-cream (hopefully neither establishment has realised what's occuring) She likes to think of it as guerrilla-liberalism, 'why shouldn't everybody get the pleasure of using a well designed spoon damn it!. I like to think she's making the world a nicer place for everyone albeit one spoon at a time...
I digress, This morning i was making boiled eggs and toasty soldiers for us all and i found one of the posh spoons in our drawer, it stands out a mile against our £5.99 Ikea-spoonage my mrs said 'its been there for ages' but when i got three spoons from the drawer for our breakfast, i made sure i got the nice spoon for myself,  and why shouldn't i?
So now im feeling less like Robin Hood and more like Robert Mugabe.
