W/C 6th October 2025

I am going to pop out for a final run before the Manchester Half tomorrow. I hadn't planned on running today but my legs were a bit stiff yesterday so I am going to throw in a gentle 5-6 miler just to keep everything loose.

It's probably all in my head, because I am ready, In fact I have been ready for a couple of months. At the beginning it was about whether I could cover the distance, which progressed to whether I could do it under two hours - but as I have answered both of these questions as part of my prep so tomorrow becomes about the enjoyment of the day.

It's fitting that this event should fall on this weekend, because one of the initial prompts for TFM was the fact I was sat at home, with an injury, unable to get out for a run. The importance of running in my life was evident then, and thankfully that hasn't changed.

Stay safe.

P.S thanks to Shane & Christine (they both know why...)

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
