If I am to keep on running on this little oblong of synthetic black stuff, I realise that I’m going to have to report something more interesting than ‘ran again’ to hold your attention. I will have a think about this.
Today I was interested to see that my heart rate seemed to be a little [...]
In our garden, in the midst of the ‘burbs and surrounded by trees, houses and tall hedges, the beginning of the GMT half of the year was heralded by a gloriously calm, warm and sunny morning. (you have remembered to put your clocks back, haven’t you?). I felt that the Gore jacket and beanie hat [...]
The proximity of the running machine makes it pretty tempting to use, even on days when I could easily run outside. But it is unlikely that I would venture out for only half an hour and if I did I would have to run around the local roads.
Today I paused in the work I was [...]
I was reminded last night that I’d not done any speed work for a while… so I took the opportunity at lunchtime to go on the walking machine.
I’ve already given up on the idiosyncrasies of the in-built programming, so I opted for a set of manually adjusted intervals, based around the visual 400m track that appears on [...]
I was in no hurry whatsoever to go running this morning and I sat reading The Week for a second quadspresso while I waited patiently for the heavy frost to melt on the windows of the cars outside. As a result it was 10.30am before I closed the front door behind me and set off [...]
The last week went as follows:
Last Wednesday I was in Southampton for a networking event in the evening, back at late o’clock. Thursday we went to Brie’s in London for dinner and got back even later. Friday night, Karen & Kit came to dinner with us. Saturday night we were at Tim’s 60th birthday party [...]
After a highly entertaining dinner with friends in London last night and the subsequent 1am homecoming, an 8am meet-up at Jack and Jill was always going to be a little bit of a struggle.
I was actually there early and was reclined comfortably in my car when Cliff pitched up. We chatted for a while through open [...]
If I had not already planned to run this morning, I don’t think that the view from the window would have encouraged me to do so. It was a dingy grey day, with rain threatening in every direction.
Actually, when I got out there, it was really quite warm and the threatened rain didn’t materialise… although [...]
It was comparatively chillsome as I stood waiting for the guys at Falmer this morning. It was clearly not that cold though, as Andy and Cliff arrived and stripped to shorts and t-shirts. To be fair, I was also wearing shorts, but my Gore jacket had snuck itself on to my person and I didn’t [...]
