I had a really lovely 6 mile run today along an old favourite route that took me out to Hundred Acre Lane. The run itself took 58 minutes (6.2mph), but I arrived back after an hour and a half… [...]

Crawling towards The Soul Katz

Managed to get back in the pool on Thursday night for 45 minutes and found that it’s easier to count in sets of four than singly. Three breast-stroked and a length crawled. At the end of the session I did an extra crawl, so out of 56 lengths I managed 15 crawlies. Still pretty knacked [...]

Now I know

A few weeks ago I pondered why everyone else seemed able to swim faster than me, before realising I could actually keep up with them if I crawled, like them. Tonight there was a guy that I don’t think I could have kept up with even if I had been running.

Towards the end of [...]

Splashy mud

I had a genuine desire to do something other than run this morning.

I’d got into a creative zone on a work challenge last night & ended up sliding quietly into bed at gone 3am. Not quietly enough though, I’m assured! It was nice & bright this morning and easy-ish to get up, but it was [...]

You may have gathered from my post earlier this week that we disappeared off to Holland last weekend to see our friends Adam & Sandra, celebrate their son Thomas’s second birthday and deliberately surprise Thomas’s grandparents, Tim & Anna, [...]

Loosening shoulders

After a hard afternoons work lobbing snowballs at the energetic kids in the close yesterday, I had to go swimming tonight to stretch my shoulders backout. 35 minutes including about 8 or 9 crawlies, I think… I REALLY don’t seem to be able to count straight in the pool!

Tyres in the snow

PLEASE can someone point out to the news agencies that the answer to their question, regarding the reason why we are apparently so unprepared for the current driving conditions, is TYRES and TRAINING.

Tyres

Scandinavian counties have snow & ice for a large proportion of each year so they have both summer tyres and winter tyres.

Their [...]
