I can say unequivocally that I did not want to run, such that I sat in the sun drinking coffee and avoiding it for a couple of hours this morning. The excuses that I offered myself included a stiff back from an uncomfortable night bivouacking Thursday, exacerbated by bending over a craft table mounting & framing ten [...]

Three of us ran off into the gathering darkness last night and re-emerged this morning, slightly damper and not so very refreshed from a questionable night’s sleep! We gathered at Dai’s place in Patcham for a weigh-in last night with both Daren’s pack and mine showing 7.8kg. Dai’s was 1kg lighter, but then he’s not [...] I visited RUN in Hove on FosterRuns 4th birthday last week (it always seems like an appropriate birthday treat) and Kurt very kindly ordered me in a pair of Saucony Progrid Guide 4′s, which I picked up today. So, despite finding it really hard to choose between the numerous different opinions as to the shoes [...] The run this morning was a repeat of last week, running to the Beacon & back with my 10lb+ pack. The pack seemed quite a bit heavier as I started out and whilst it might have had a couple of additional things in it, I think it was just me finding it hard to get [...] Happy Birthday to Foster Runs!

Stupid would have been closer to the truth. The morning had started slowly, with me sleepily escaping to the tea house with a quadspresso to [...] At the end of our run on Monday, there was a short exchange that has set some very particular wheels in motion. Well, legs really. Up until that exchange, Daren had been looking for someone mad enough to run the Tour d’Mont Blanc with. ‘Nuff said? Bearing in mind that the TMB route is circa [...] There are many downsides to being currently underutilised workwise, but one major upside is being able to run with friends on a beautiful weekday morning… a little like a male version of the ladies who do coffee, but without the challenge of parking prams in the coffee shop. The run this morning was also [...] After weeks of running once a week and on my own, I’ve now run with two different friends in three days. This morning I met the Bok at 6.30am (eeek) for a quick run around the local area… and quick it was too. We ran 7 miles in 1.01 which actually equates to an average [...] |
