K stood on the steps of her childhood home, staring down the driveway that led to the road. Her morning routine had changed little over the years, ever since she’d started jogging to clear her mind after starting university. It was on these early runs, when the town was still asleep, that she felt closest to herself. But this morning was different. Today, B was coming along. K hadn’t seen him much since the summer before...

It was a bright, sunny day in early January. I had just come back from a work trip to the Capital which was productive but the weather had been awful. My flight bag had been accompanied by a chilly bag from Le Gourmet containing 1kg each of Grey Slate Venison, sausages, and mince. Half was for my freezer, the rest for friends. It also contained a 600g Valley Bakery Rye and Multi-Seed and some Le Chocolat single-origin bar...

Research shows that women are aerobically superior to men, according to a running podcast to which I subscribe. I’m sure the usual disclaimers apply, but this came to mind as we were running a local 10K on a Sunday and she was long out of sight ahead of me. Soon enough, the finish line was in sight and I saw her standing there, with a post-race glow and her medals around her neck. I finished and she hugged me. We walked h...

“Have you packed your gym kit?” Jade asked me the following Saturday morning. “Well, I have packed my running kit, I was not sure if we were going to do any training whilst we were down there, but thought if the opportunity arose, then I might squeeze in a run.” “Oh good, I have done the same. I thought tomorrow morning we might go for a run around the park first thing. I have booked a restaurant for tonight as well.” “Oh...

Maya placed one sneaker-clad foot against the tire of her car and stretched out a toned leg. She tipped her head back, enjoying the early morning sun caressing the skin of her bare shoulders. She wore a low-cut tank top over her sports bra and tight running pants that hugged her round ass. Switching to stretch the other leg, she turned her music on and placed a headphone in each ear. Giving her leg one last stretch, she s...

The sun was baking everything not under shade. Some individuals such as myself enjoy feeling baked. In addition to the warmth permeating every part of me, it does wonderful things like tan the skin. No matter what people say, the skin helps get the boys’ attention.It is because of the boys that I go running so often. Sure, it keeps me fit, but that is not the goal, it is merely a way to achieve my goal. Regular schedules...

I've known Sarah for a number of years. She'd gone through a bit of a challenging start when she got pregnant at 17 but she and Robert decided to get married and make a go of it. Despite working two or three jobs at a time and raising a child, they both managed to make it into college. Robert pursued business and now worked in the world of investing. Sarah followed her passion and became a teacher. Another child had follo...

I ran through the woods enjoying the rain filtering through the trees, keeping a steady pace. I rounded the edge of the woods, crossedover the bridle path and on to the final road down to the Bed& Breakfast (small hotel for the American readers). We were staying there for a few days as my wife and children visited the grandparents (their place was too small for us). I had the day off from all that and was making the most...

As I continued to run, I noticed that my body started to get a little more toned and I could run a little farther each week. One night my daughter's friend was over and I was walking out of the house to go for my daily run. She looked at me with my running garb on and told me that the running agreed with me. I just looked at her and laughed. She then reminded me that she ran cross country and that an old man like me could...
