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 […]

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 […]

2632. That’s my number. No where near as good as Ed’s number, but it has instantly become my new lucky number! Not that I had a lucky number before now.
Just to say that my 4 miles today was replaced by the best part of 3 hours playing football in the sun for […]

After the last couple of runs, I am still pretty down but doing my best to remain positive. Since Monday morning I have eaten like a dream, no bad stuff, in fact, super good stuff and I am feeling better for it. I headed out today to do a 5 miler and had […]

First of all, before I get into it, a big congratulations to Chris for his run. He did really well to manage as many miles as he did. Well done mate.
So here I am, the Beast has arrived. Three varying warm-up runs for it (1, 2, 3), one average, one great and […]

After not making it out on Thursday I thought I would catch up on Friday. Friday came and went and since it was a nice night I ended up going out on Friday night, just after 8pm. What a truly crap idea that turned out to be.
It was only a fiver but I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
