🚨Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow. “This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better” My latest kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Another day of #peakbagging in the Lake District. Walked from Braithwaite up part of the Coledale Horseshoe. Causey Pike, Scar Crags and Barrow. Beautiful ridge walking with views across to Blencathra & Skiddaw.

Spent the last couple of days walking up a few more Wainwright's in the Lake District. Poor visibility yesterday up to Red Screes, meaning I had to resort to using a map & compass. But better weather today, up to Sallows & then a short skip down to Sour Howes.

1. This time last year, the US had only ever recorded 1 human infection with #H5N1 #birdflu, in 2022. With the confirmation of an infection in a Nevada dairyworker, there've now been 69 confirmed cases in 11 states.

This is one of my favourite books about running & if you are a runner, no doubt you will have read or know of it. It features a cast of larger-than-life characters, including the runner Caballo Blanco, (Micah True), and follows them through the preparation for a 50-mile ultra race in Mexico. 1/2

Disappointing decision whatever the underlying reasons, given that Liverpool's future economic growth is centred on Health and Life Sciences development.

Good 20mph stats - first full year: 10 fewer deaths 26% fewer crashes 28% lower casualties This represents a £58 Million saving to society in the first year alone - which more than pays for the £32m one-off cost of the signs! www.gov.wales/police-recor...

When terrible things happen it can be easy to believe the world is terrible; it's important to remember that there is far more good than evil. While there are a small number of people who commit horrific acts, there are literally millions of people who will save people from them.

I’ve mentioned a few times on here that I’m running the Liverpool half marathon in a couple of months - a big ask for me. Here is a bit more about why I’m doing it and the cause spurring me on. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

What are the best long-distance running challenges in the UK? The Bob Graham Round is probably the most well known, (approx 110kms, 8000m of ascent to be completed in 24h), but there are also similar rounds in Snowdonia (Paddy Buckley) & Scotland (Ramsey Round).

Still quite a few runners making their way along the final few miles of the Pennine Way in the @spinerace.bsky.social at Kirk Yetholm. Must be glad to get across that finish line.

Cold and icy morning in Birkenhead 🧊, meaning it was a bit slippy. Managed to pull out a sub 20min #Parkrun for the first time since 2023. Not sure where that came from!
