Back in the time of the prosperous, when Kim and I both had London jobs and London flats and escaped to Sussex at the weekends, we each had a personal trainer too. In fact I would go to the gym in London Bridge at least twice or three times a week and it would be [...]

I received a lot of verbal comments from readers about the Sports Ball Shop competition (pictured above) in November/December… in the main from friends professing weakly to have too little time to write a few short sentences on a running theme! But two people did submit stories and so, by default, they each win [...] Mindful that my regular readers might be concerned (or maybe overjoyed!) that I have had a Forrest Gump moment and suddenly forsaken running for some other activity (leaving this blog high and dry), I hasten to report that I’ve merely been continuing to suffer from a bad back. With luck (and some help from Hanne [...] Having sported a painful back for about a week, I couldn’t face a repeat run with Mark and Mach 2 yesterday, so I opted instead for a relaxing day in the garden… wasn’t it a beaut?! Relaxing day in the garden is an oxymoron for me, of course. I cleared out the tea-house ahead of [...] Happy Birthday to Foster Runs! Once again, this post is more a mental note for myself, but you might also find it interesting. Number of years: FOUR! I doubt if Dai Thomas expected it to still be going after four years when he helped me start it back in 2007! Number of posts: 83 (110 [...] It is seldom these days that you will catch me watching the news. I subscribe to the view of author Nassim Taleb, who says it is ‘full of noise’, in contrast for example to history, which is devoid of it.

One of the advantages of being a season ticket holder of ‘Kew at Wakehurst’ is the ability [...] I awoke feeling particularly groggy yesterday morning and sat nursing first one, then another cup of quadspresso before I could smile enough to go out into the garden. I had intended to get out for an early run before the heat of the day started to ramp up, but alas, it was already 8am and [...] Observant readers will have realised that the East coast to which I have referred in the last few posts is not in the UK. Geographically it is probably closer to the Eastbourne that Captain Daren has sailed off so comprehensively. As I boomeranged back to the UK from my time away, I managed to catch up with Kim [...] Sad to report that it’s my final week up here on the east coast. I have done so little exercise whilst eating SO much that I MUST now be heavy (yeah, right!), whilst a litle mental & physical tiredness mixed with more than a little conversational wine has left me feeling weak more than once! I [...] |
