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 [...]
A couple of weeks back I went to Plumpton Agricultural College where the Principle, Des Lambert, gave members of BHBPA a guided tour of the facility. It was a really interesting evening, which started by him driving us up onto the Downs in a LandRover to show us the college from above. Once up there he [...]
I was planning to help my folks move some flotsam & jetsam and since it was likely to be another warm day, I went to bed early (after an energetic day cutting grass and polishing my car) and got up at 6am. This meant I was out running by seven and down at their place shortly after [...]
Bonjour tout le monde!
After a particularly slow, frustrating afternoon yesterday, I actually contemplated going out for a run (and I can’t remember the last time that happened of an evening!), whilst dinner was cooking in the oven.
Unfortunately I got sidetracked, but the irrepressible Bok must have picked up the vibes, as about an [...]
As I was busy working away on Friday, I had a call from Lucas (http://www.lucascookguitar.co.uk/) to say that he was going to chill out at Wakehurst Place for a while and could he pick me up en route?
One of the advantages of being a season ticket holder of ‘Kew at Wakehurst’ is the ability [...]
It was the day of the second Brighton Marathon and a rare thing happened. Despite setting off running at the same time, I managed to get to the 26 mile marker ahead of Cliff, albeit only by a few minutes.
I’m not seeking to mislead you though, so I should ‘fess up that my run [...]
After the hubris in the reporting of last week’s fast run, it seems only fair that I am forced to eat humble pie. I got it wrong.
One of the downsides of not having the latest satellite technology is that I have to measure the distances I run on an OS map, with the aid [...]
Tuesday was a great day… it’s just that this week has been too hectic to mention it previously! The day finished with a lovely meal with Nigel, Kristin, Kim and I, followed by much playing of the guitars… ahead of an early morning to drive them to the airport.
At the start of the day [...]
After my timing error the other week, Daren was careful to reiterate 8.30am to me when we spoke yesterday. So when he called at 8.30am this morning, I really thought he was playing a prank… fortunately he was just running a few minutes late.
We had agreed to meet at Clayton Rec again, and decided [...]
I think that it’s well worth mentioning that Kim’s daughter Karen graduated from University of Westminster with a BA Hons in Contemporary Media Practice and we attended her ‘Graduand’ ceremony last week.
She has long had a great eye for photographic composition and although she has become a first class photographer, her love is Art [...]
