WMWMarathon

Another Monday night run - good reason for that though! It was our first wedding anniversary this weekend, and having gone back to the Atrium restaurant for out meal I was in no state to run on Sunday. Or maybe that was just due to the champagne.

Route
Pretty similar to last Mondays - I […]

Went out for a run this morning, meant to be 12 miles but ended up as 12.8 miles. I reckon I spotted around 50 other runners today. As the gathering approaches, folk are beginning to train, train and get ready for the big day. I saw all sorts today, fit, fat, hotties, […]

Great run - Really like the 5 mile runs at the moment. I think the biggest problem with the training is the amount of time […]

I am sick fed up of running on Portobello Promenade, in fact sick of all the places I am running. Lets be honest, running is boring, repetitive, tiring and hard. Doing it in the same place(s) all the time just makes it exponentially more dull. I think next week I am going […]

Short and sweet post.
First of all congratulations to Chris who broke the 200 mile barrier on Monday night. Now up to a whopping 209.2 miles ran so far, well done dude. That in itself is an achievement.
Secondly, congratulations to us, sometime yesterday we broke the £1666.67 mark, which is exactly one third of […]

With all the fuss (well deserved of course) about the leak at the Sewage Plant (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) I decided to take a run along today to see what I could see (and see if I could get myself into a News Report Not much luck on either front to be […]

At least it is for me!
Having spent the weekend up north, I didn’t manage to get out for any runs. Whilst it was nice and relaxing, it wasn’t really the best in terms of training. So, Monday night saw me setting out for a long run. The longest so far…

Route
Garage at Musselburgh>> […]

Less than 18 hours after the last run I was back out again attempting to put right what once went wrong, i.e. run bloody Benidorm and its associated side effects out of my body. Even though today is a rest day, I figured a wee jaunt would be better than a rest, I have […]
