It could be age creeping up on me, or just a heavy think-load, but I appear to have forgotten to record my early Monday morning mile this week.
So, it was, er… a mile and it took 9.05.

Looking back on the day as I sit here towards the end of the evening, my run this morning seems like an age ago. I had sat looking at a business challenge from a fresh perspective (anything rather than run) whilst I tried to coax myself out of sleep with a couple of quadspressos. Ironically [...] I have a conference call scheduled for 9am and yet I am sitting here nursing my third quadspresso, showered, shaved, breakfasted (outside) and ready to go. I’ve also spent about an hour reading, twenty minutes practising my guitar and have run an anti-lactose mile on the machine in 9 minutes 45. A VERY good morning to you! Before I start, I’d just like to mention the beautiful aroma of honeysuckle and pinks in the garden at the moment. In the evenings, when the air is still, it is simply magical to walk out there, as is sitting in the tea-house in the mornings. I’ve had another one of those manic weekends. [...] The full results can be found here but the key data is as follows: Foster came 136th out of 293 runners in a time of 38.14 Colin, who I met after the finish, beat me by just over two minutes and 36 places. In first place was Louis Taub in a time of 26.41, whilst [...] Since last week’s short Monday run on the machine seemed good at negating the wobbly-walking after-effects of the previous day’s jaunt, I decided I had better do it again. Especially in view of yesterday’s odyssey. This time I remembered before breakfast… well, actually as I tried to negotiate my way down the stairs.. so I managed [...] Somehow (don’t ask!), after a round of toast, a shower and another quadspresso, and with the weather now remarkably cloudy and cool, I found myself back in Wivelsfield on the start line of the 4.5-mile Wivelsfield Woodland Wobble. The cooler turn of weather had been one of the reasons for me changing my mind, [...] After a slightly more intense (not to mention hot, as their air conditioning had broken down) than normal 9-hour immersion session with a new client on Friday, followed by an almost 2-hour return rail journey, I did very little yesterday other than read, relax and, um, sleep. And very restful it was too, laying on [...] I’m not sure whether half a mile counts towards anything, but remembering that I had been exhibiting signs of silly walks after my previous two runs, I ran half a mile on the machine this morning. I had inadvertently christened my ‘indoor’ running shoes in the mud yesterday (not strictly true, as I ran the [...] I was due to help a neighbour move a concrete shower tray (double-size) at 8.40am this morning so I got out good and early for a short run. I’ve not run for two weeks and I think that a combination of heat over that time and no exercise has been leading to a little unusual [...] |
