This is more a mental note for myself, but you might also find it interesting. Number of posts: 110 ( 102 in year 2, 156 in year 1 – I’ll report the figures this way around below to make it easy to see any progression) Number of runs: 92 (63, 67) although to be fair I did lots of [...] The full results can be found here but the key data is as follows: Foster came 136th out of 293 runners in a time of 38.14 Colin, who I met after the finish, beat me by just over two minutes and 36 places. In first place was Louis Taub in a time of 26.41, whilst last place was taken [...] 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 about 70 [...] 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 [...] We often don’t get the opportunity to give credit where it’s due… particularly for the really simple stuff in life! So this is a really quick thank you, in no particular order, to a few of the people who have encouraged me to run over the years. My dearly departed friend Mike Spencer and the rest of the [...] Well now! This time tomorrow, we will all hopefully be in the closing stages of the inaugural Brighton Marathon and if the weather is a facsimile of today, it’s going to be a fantastic run! I thought I would unveil my running gear (my thanks to Matt Ingram at Sussex Sign Centre) in advance in case anyone wants to [...] I had a strange ambivalence towards running this morning. It wasn’t a case that I didn’t want to: more a case of not being bothered about it. This is possibly something to do with the fact that the hard work is done and the next three weeks is about comprehensively sorting out my niggly injuries and recuperating [...] I’ve not much to say for myself this morning. The thought of running outside briefly crossed my mind before I climbed aboard the machine… would that the Bok was here to force me out! I varied the speed much like Wednesday and finished five miles in 39.24, average 7.6mph. There was no drama and the only frisson came from [...] Kim has been encouraging me (with a pointy stick) to increase my mileage as part of my pre-marathon training as the it’s only 11 weeks away now. I just brought my mileage record up to date (since August last year) and am happy to confirm that I had my biggest month since starting to write my blog in [...] YES indeedie, two years have passed since I started writing this blog and if you’ve been reading it all this time, you probably deserve a drink! To celebrate, of course! Without the enigmatic Bok to keep me going through the winter, my results have been down on the first year, but only a touch. In fact, I have been [...] |
