Wk52 – I ran 1,300 miles in 2011!
Phew… that was hard. I had aimed to do 10.8 miles (after running a marathon yesterday) but didn’t have a route so ended up doing 11.25 miles. If I was really OCD I would have rounded it up again or … Continue reading

Last challenge of 2011
I’m a sucker for round numbers. When I run distances, I like to try and round it up to the full mile, half mile, quarter of a mile, or even a tenth of a mile. Perhaps a little sad, but … Continue reading
Wk52 – 6M loop de loop then lower weights
Thursday morning, 3 days before the end of 2011 and I went to Bella. Last minute I’d arranged to run 6 miles with Twinkle Toes and Cat. I was going to give blood this morning but I realised that as … Continue reading

Two week food test
So… I’m not one for diets and I’m not one for restriciting what I eat… but I thought I’d try something new. New year and all that. In the last 6 months I’ve changed some of the things I eat, and I’m all … Continue reading

Wk52 – 5.1M Tempo Queens Park
Wednesday morning and as it’s the only day I’m at work over the Festive Period, I thought I’d squeeze in a wee run before work to get it out of the way. I didn’t do anything on Tuesday apart from … Continue reading
Wk52 – 4.95M Boxing Day around Clyde Bridges

Wk51 – Christmas Eve 16 miler
I wanted to run long on Christmas Eve morning… it was a Saturday morning when I normally do my long runs and I thought I’d aim for running for around 2 hours. I didn’t really have a route for once, … Continue reading
