open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug... Really struck by the table in Krugman's latest. Forget the comparison with NY (which is also striking). Florida has 1/3 the population of the UK, and twice the traffic fatalities, and almost twice the homicides.

Used to watch this in the seventies on a Sunday night

Curry stop in the very cool Shimokitazama district of Tokyo 🇯🇵

Climbing onboard a Hello Kitty bullet train in Himeji 🚅. Japan is wonderfully bonkers 🐱

Hill reps day. Love this graph ⛰️🏃‍♂️

Ready for Inch Beach parkrun. Guinness really does taste better in 🇮🇪

Hafan Pwllheli parkrun. An out and back totally on sand (and surf). Flew through the first half then realised the wind was in your face for the second half and it destroyed me 😂. Rupert loved it 🐶

A glorious morning at Mount Edgcumbe parkrun. A challenging course with 141m elevation, but those views! Absolutely stunning 🐶🏃‍♂️

Quite pleased with this. Run to lampposts on a 7.5% hill then back down. Go to the next lamppost each time. 13 posts to the top ⛰️

On of the toughest parkruns in the UK at Durlston. Spectacular scenery, very loud marshals and 200m of climb! First dog and first in my old man category. A fantastic event 🐶🏃‍♂️

Quite a busy Saturday!

Morecambe, of all places. Almost tropical

We can see the start of Crichton parkrun from our hotel room window. This must be our shortest ever journey to the start line 🐶🏃‍♂️

First Zwift race in months. Thought I was going to throw up. Put out 3W/kg, though, which I was pleased with ⛰️🚴‍♀️⛰️🚴‍♀️

Normanby Hall parkrun on a cold and miserable day. Huge thanks to the volunteers who cheered us all on. Then we got a dog sausage in the cafe afterwards. Rupert was ecstatic 🐶🏃‍♂️

At Goole parkrun. The young lads who finished at the same time as us are all doing elaborate stretches and cool down routines. Me and Rupert are sat on a bench eating cake #oldschool

A pleasing graph from my progressive hill reps this morning ⛰️⛰️⛰️

Just noticed I completed the Pirates challenge today. 7 Cs and an Rrrr! 🏴‍☠️ #parkrun

Cake and kisses. A glorious sunny and frosty morning at Cannock Chase parkrun. One of those days when it feels good to be alive 🐶🏃‍♂️

PB for Rupert today at Selby parkrun (21:40). Loads of comments about how fast his little legs go. Cake right by the finish line so we couldn’t resist 🐶🏃‍♂️

With Rupert on a bitterly cold parkrun at East Park Wolverhampton. We had a ball 🐶🏃‍♂️
