Despite a stubborn wound not healing, I decided along with my nurse & fellow runner that I should try running again. #Colostomy Irrigation has been a game-changer & the parastomal hernia hasn't caused any issues. Here's how I've been getting on mynewbum.co.uk/running-with-a… #ukrunchat

2nd October is our #StomaAware day. We see it as an opportunity to tell the world what a stoma is, and the challenges #Ostomates face every day. The more society understands the easier it will become for people to lead fulfilling lives. Get involved colostomyuk.org/get-involved/s…

This is why I’m a paying member of @RamblersGB, 18 miles into a run and after a climb up a very steep hill, some well made steps are very welcome.

It’s official! @FastestKnown has accepted the 72-mile Tour de Newport route and recognised my recent run as the fastest known time for it. FKT’s are there to be beaten so who’s up for giving it a go? #ukrunchat /@TeamColostomyUK fastestknowntime.com/fkt/robert-gal…


Last Saturday I ran 72-miles around the border of Newport, but how did I get on with the stoma and parastomal hernia? The answer – really well. Having a #stoma doesn’t have to interfere with your goals! @TeamColostomyUK @ColostomyUK mynewbum.co.uk/running-72-mil…


This weekend I embark on the biggest run I've ever attempted (72 miles) and the number of runners who want to support me along the way is humbling. It reminded me of this quote I read in the excellent book by @Ultra_Damo - In It for the Long Run. #ukrunchat

Every runners nightmare! Having these charge towards you when you enter the field. #ukrunchat

A friendly robin on today’s walk was happy to pose for a few photos and I was impressed with how well this one came out. #shotoniphone

As it’s almost Father’s Day treated my dad to a 2004 Hardy’s Ale from the beer cupboard. Still tastes like a great barley wine.

Getting up at 0345 for a 4am run is often difficult but it is made easier when you have views like this to accompany you. #ukrunchat #4amrunclub

When I’m greeted with a sight like this on dawn run, I can’t help think of the excellent quote from @Ultra_Damo’s new book, In It for the Long Run. amzn.to/3x2dD5G #ukrunchat
