Of the various ways that I could have spent my birthday morning, few could compare with going for a run on the South Downs with Daren, followed by a late breakfast with my parents. Other than, perhaps, if Cliff had been able to come out to run as well! We met at Jack & Jill and took the [...] It had been hissing down with rain all last night and generally blowing a hoolie, so it was with some surprise that the day was glorious by the time Daren and I met at Jack & Jill. That doesn’t mean fabulously sunny, mind, but rather just that it was marvellous to be out in! We followed the [...] Earlier in the year circumstances conspired to prevent me from accompanying Daren on one of his new running circuits and rather than try to figure it out on my own, I waited patiently for his return. Today we ran that circuit. Daren was describing how amazing it was swimming in the sea this morning despite the low water [...] I’m finding it difficult to see what I’m writing on the computer this morning. This is not my eyes playing up, but rather a combination of a highly reflective screen and a bright Paul Smith striped shirt! I have a couple of good reasons to be stiff tomorrow, so I got on the running machine this morning [...] It could be age creeping up on me, or just a heavy think-load, but I appear to have forgotten to record my early Monday morning mile this week. So, it was, er… a mile and it [...] I have a conference call scheduled for 9am and yet I am sitting here nursing my third quadspresso, showered, shaved, breakfasted (outside) and ready to go. I’ve also spent about an hour reading, twenty minutes practising my guitar and have run an anti-lactose mile on the machine in 9 minutes 45. A VERY good morning [...] Since last week’s short Monday run on the machine seemed good at negating the wobbly-walking after-effects of the previous day’s jaunt, I decided I had better do it again. Especially in view of yesterday’s odyssey. This time I remembered before breakfast… well, actually as I tried to negotiate my way down the stairs.. so I managed to [...] Somehow (don’t ask!), after a round of toast, a shower and another quadspresso, and with the weather now remarkably cloudy and cool, I found myself back in Wivelsfield on the start line of the 4.5-mile Wivelsfield Woodland Wobble. The cooler turn of weather had been one of the reasons for me changing my mind, but as I stood [...] After a slightly more intense (not to mention hot, as their air conditioning had broken down) than normal 9-hour immersion session with a new client on Friday, followed by an almost 2-hour return rail journey, I did very little yesterday other than read, relax and, um, sleep. And very restful it was too, laying on the [...] I’m not sure whether half a mile counts towards anything, but remembering that I had been exhibiting signs of silly walks after my previous two runs, I ran half a mile on the machine this morning. I had inadvertently christened my ‘indoor’ running shoes in the mud yesterday (not strictly true, as I ran the marathon in [...] |
