Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

With that in mind, it was time to get on with it! Months of training, changes to diet […]

I woke up Sunday morning, 6:00am to have something to eat. I was not going to get caught out again with the diet thing. I had spent the week, carb-loading and was feeling a bit stuffed. A Weetabix and a honey covered bagel were my poison before I slowly and reluctantly got […]

Its Sunday. Its 6am. It can only mean one thing…..I’m bloody knackered!!
So this it, all the training, the generous sponsorship by you guys and the final week of grumpy carb loading (sorry Suz!). I’d love to say I’m sitting here ready to go, feeling great and happy with the prep that I’ve […]

I’ve not given up or been eaten by a monkey - the lack of blogs is just due to a crazy-as week. Exam time at school, followed by Suz being a bridesmaid at a wedding up north on the weekend, made for a wee bit of a nightmare week.
But anyway, I’m back again. […]

I was speaking at the Rugby Club Dinner on Saturday night. Being honest, I have been very nervous about it for weeks as I had to stand up in front of around 70 peers and deliver a speech about the season. There were professional speakers there as well (and me) so I had […]

Even though its only 4 miles today, I couldn’t do it. I am too sore all over, too tired and various too many parts of my body hurt too much. I am going to rest again today and then do my runs Wednesday/Thursday/Friday. I am off to see Leanne (Sports Therapist) this […]

Teacher raises £2000
A TEACHER who is raising money for charity after almost dying from meningitis has smashed the £2000 […]

Went up to rugby training last night and did a wee session in the Gym with Mucky, Bawbag, Shrek and C-Bass. The gym at the rugby club is proper old school and consists of free weights (that hurt your hand when you use them), bars hanging from the ceiling (to do pull ups) and […]
