The last week has been tough, carb-loading is hard. I can only equate it to a turkey getting ready for Christmas. Eating bread, pasta, oatcakes, oat bars, lucozade, water, etc. all the time is tough going and I reckon I have put on about 4 pounds!
Thank you to all the messages of good […]

Its been a while. The last time I did a run was on 4 April 2007 and I finally made it out last night (22 April 2007). A shocking and embarrassing 17 days no running. Ouch. I missed 9 runs totalling 88 miles. Wow. The more I work this […]
