Herewith a brief overview of the categories I use to help you find what is most relevant to you. There is a degree of overlap, and this is very much work in progress.
Psychology+Philosophy
A repository for my more thoughtful and serious observations about life and the world that do not fit suitably elsewhere.
These categories come under the Running tab:
Dr Derek – here you will find my more irreverent and humorous posts. Definitely not to be taken too seriously!
Psychology in Motion – posts with a predominantly psychological theme.
Technical Bits – mostly posts with a focus on the technical aspects of running and training. I wanted to avoid the use of the word “advice” because that feels too presumptuous and patronising.
Training Log – accounts of my running and other training ventures, with occasional insights and a bit of humour.
Solo 100km – the story of my challenge to run 100km in 28 days during the first Covid lockdown. A tale of its time.
The following have a traveling vibe:
Big Trip – about my hitch-hike across Europe in 1973, told on a mostly daily basis as if it was happening now.
Bulgaria Life – observations and tales about being in Bulgaria.
The following come under the Humour banner:
Natasha and Elsie – sheep discussing and gossiping. The names come from (I Don’t Want to go to) Chelsea written by Elvis Costello. These posts take the form of captioned photographs.
Woolly Filosofer – a rather wise looking sheep (possibly a ram) on the Isle of Skye contemplating life and other stuff. Again, the posts take the form of captioned photographs.
