Kim and I saw Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland last night, which was very strange. Having seen Avatar a few weeks ago, I am already captivated by the whole 3D experience and physically ducked or flinched several times during the film and the 3D adverts that preceded it. But there didn’t seem to be [...]

Kim has been in NYC for a week and having collected her from Heathrow early yesterday, I drove into London and didn’t get back home until late. Hence my Wednesday 10-miler got turned into a Thursday 10-miler. Based on my run earlier this morning though, I don’t think I like running on Thursdays! Maybe it was [...] My plan had been to run the ten miles from Woodingdean to the old Shoreham power-station this morning. And then to run back again. But the forecast was for extreme inclemence, consisting of North-Easterly gales and heavy rain… and for once the forecast turned out to be right. The thought of running the second ten miles [...] Once again, the prospect of a ten-mile run on the machine was not a welcome one. I had planned to get it out of the way really early on this morning, but this didn’t happen because I sat up watching Deja Vu last night… and thus found it hard to drag myself out of bed! Following [...] It was the Brighton Half Marathon today and I crossed the finish line shortly after the winner had come in at 1.06.59. Sad to report that I was going the other direction and at a much slower pace. I had started from Woodingdean, bracing myself against a biting, rain-laden wind. My hands were frozen within 30 minutes [...] It was a beautiful bright, sunny day but fweezin cold outside, so I was glad that I was inside on the machine this morning. There are days when the miles just whir past effortlessly, but this was not one of them… in fact, each quarter mile felt like a whole one and since there were 40 [...] There was a larger number than normal against today in my running schedule and I was interested to know whether I was going to be able to complete it… and if so, what state I would be in afterwards. I’m waiting for Kurt at Run to get some new woollen Thurlos in for me and my mother had [...] So far this week we have seen three very interesting movies: Synecdoche, New York and 500 Days of Summer thanks to Karen and Avatar thanks to Jason. Synecdoche was supremely hard work to trawl through, but highly rewarding in that the point is worth getting, even if, as in my case, it was right at the end! [...] It was back down to my parents house in Woodingdean this morning for another long road run, though there wasn’t as much bounce in my step as last week. Maybe this had something to do with the weather, which was flat grey and though not quite as cold as last Sunday, still very chilly indeed. As [...] Part way through my run today I heard the inexorable approach of feet from behind and turned to find Kurt from Run in Hove just about the slide past me with his friend Ken. They were out for a 15 miler and though they were into the last stages, were clearly still running a tad faster [...] |
