There are many downsides to being currently underutilised workwise, but one major upside is being able to run with friends on a beautiful weekday morning… a little like a male version of the ladies who do coffee, but without the challenge of parking prams in the coffee shop. The run this morning was also [...] After weeks of running once a week and on my own, I’ve now run with two different friends in three days. This morning I met the Bok at 6.30am (eeek) for a quick run around the local area… and quick it was too. We ran 7 miles in 1.01 which actually equates to an average [...] Bonjour tout le monde! After a particularly slow, frustrating afternoon yesterday, I actually contemplated going out for a run (and I can’t remember the last time that happened of an evening!), whilst dinner was cooking in the oven. Unfortunately I got sidetracked, but the irrepressible Bok must have picked up the vibes, as about an [...] After a Bank Holiday Monday feeling wan and lifeless (which didn’t stop me cutting the hedge, edging and cutting the grass, teak-oiling the floor of the tea-house and poly-filling some irritating holes around the place) I woke up with stiff shoulders and calves this morning. The only thing I could think of to start [...] With a delicious tell-tale stiffness in my legs after all the hills yesterday and to save myself from a repeat of last week’s silly walks, I returned to the running machine for the first time in ages this morning. 1 mile in 9 minutes flat followed by a whole ten press-ups (wow, but I have [...] It is a BEAUTIFUL day outside and I am in the process of taking the morning off, if for no other reason than to allow Kim to enjoy it vicariously when she gets back from work! Bearing in mind that I had to scrape the ice of my windscreen this morning, meeting Daren at Jack [...] My legs were only vaguely stiff from yesterday, but I thought it prudent to disperse the lactic acid regardless in view of the increased pace. Thus I ran an easy mile on the machine in 9:11. I’d not intended to run so far yesterday so I thought I’d better run off the lactic acid this morning. Slow start but my legs warmed up after a while and I completed a mile in 9:51. Rather than suffer the ignominy of walking like a 1970′s robot tomorrow, which may have been somewhat disconcerting for the team in the strategy session I’m facilitating, I jumped on the machine for a mile to disperse any lactic acid which may have accumulated. One big Monday morning smile in 9.46. PS. It’s Chinese New Year on [...] T’was the week before Christmas and all through the snow, the crazies were running shouting YEE, HA and HO; wearing bright lime green trainers or twee Santa hats, they dashed through the snow like a herd of mad cats. It was a whole day since my previous run, so I felt quite privileged to be [...] |
