Welcome to my blog!

I’m Gary

I like to code, run marathons and ultra marathons, play squash, I love running in the hills and forests. In fact I love running - full stop

I decided to start a blog to share my thoughts and experiences.

Mostly around running but I might chuck a few coding posts in too.

A blog, I hear you shouting, a blog!!!

I know….

blogs are so 2006!

Hang on! nothing wrong with 2006. There were some decent bands out there. I ran my first Köln Marathon in 2006. Maybe I should blog that but I probably can’t remember how it went. Mostly because of the Kölsch .

I could have just popped all of this on one of the popular blogging sites but I decided to hatch my own blogging site. I had a webpage until recently running on a framework called NextJS , it’s great but I wanted something a little more simple, less reliant on upgrades.

So I’m giving a mini shout out to Hugo

and Markdown because it’s so easy to create content with.

It’s so nice and simple.

Here’s the posts .
