Yesterday was always going to be a bit of a rush, hence my delay in posting. I had a really interesting meeting in London late morning, spent the afternoon reading HBR and networking in the Alumni lounge at London Business School and then participated as a Judge (a pseudo potential early-stage investor) in a Trade Show [...] This morning Bill Faust and I had volunteered to be part of a Career Speed-Dating event for year 9 students at local Oathall School, which turned out to be a really fun event. As a result I didn’t get a chance to do my normal Monday morning short run, so instead I took a late lunchtime [...] Lately I seem to have been becoming a more reluctant runner and a conversation with the Big Man (Mr DP) yesterday highlighted to me the reason why. Where once the running used to be about fun and socialising, it now has a clear purpose. And since each of us has our own running program, mileage [...] 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 [...] After running 20 miles on the machine yesterday, I was unsure how I would feel about getting back on it again this morning. But after the inclemence of yesterday, the day that dawned was beautiful and with sun streaming through the window it was hard to feel anything other than upbeat. With a hasty espresso to [...] 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 [...] It’s late now, but when I climbed aboard the magic carpet to do my Friday run it was only just light. More to the point, I was hardly awake… and maybe I just dreamed that I ran. Who knows? Because it was early and I was half asleep (and also because I’m building up to a [...] 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 [...] In the context of training for a marathon, I have wondered more than once whether running three miles on a Monday really gives me any tangible benefit. As if to answer my question by analogy and knowing that I have no fee-paying projects right at this moment, one of my colleagues called me this morning to pique [...] Strange to tell, but my legs are changing shape… I noticed this morning. No, they’re not pear-shaped, although they may well be after the marathon, but there are definitely muscles developing that I’ve not seen before… at least on my legs! So I kept up the pressure earlier with another lunchtime run on the magic carpet. One and [...] |
