On the way out to catch a movie last night, Kim asked if I was running with anyone today and the answer was a forlorn negative. But on checking my phone having watched the excellent Salt with Angelina Jolie, there was a text from Mark asking if I wanted to run in the morning. I’m not really [...] I’m clearly exaggerating, but it was (just) a little like running out into a swimming pool this morning. It was warm and humid and everyone who said good morning to me spoke in a soft tone as if they didn’t want to disturb the surface of the water any more than they had to. I ran over to [...] I’ve got a little behind. So says Kim. It’s late and we’ve been out for a delicious dinner at Cliff & Nessie’s place but I need to quickly write about today before it passes and I get behind again… you may have noticed that the previous post, although dated Wednesday, has only just hit the airwaves! So this [...] I think there must be something decidedly odd about my mind. The short trail of words that links Manila to manilla to envelopes to antelopes via envelops (which is what antelope poo does when you tread in it), is indicative of how my mind views the world given half a chance. Which it often gets. And I shudder to even [...] It was just like the old days… I turned around and there was Mark Johnson, least where I expected to find him. Of course, having chanced across him so many times in the past I’m seldom now surprised to bump into him when I’m out running, although I might have been if he had been sporting [...] 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 the reason [...] 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. You know [...] Life is seldom dull and this week was no exception, especially as it ended with a performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream performed in the open air near Wivelsfield for the benefit of St Peter & St James Hospice. It plays until the 26th June and I highly recommend it, although if you go, I hope for [...] Broken: Well this was how I felt as I ran the last few miles to the finish line, knowing full well that not only was I going to miss my target time for the day, but that I was also going to be slower than my previous marathon time, by a full twelve minutes. [...] Having had eight days off running, hoping that my ankle problem would go away, I finally gave in and went to see Remedial & Sports Massage Therapist Andy Swan yesterday. He identified and explained the reason for my pain, before giving my legs a really good stretch-out and thorough massage. I can highly recommend him for [...] |
