Free parking for lycra clad maniacs

I’ve been sitting in the pub again this afternoon, supposedly revising for my PhD viva next week but actually reading the Independent.

North vs South Nike Race Report

Despite about 3 months of excuses and general complaining, both OGB and myself managed to get ourselves to the start line of the Nike 10k Runlondon event. I can’t say we were overly happy – we still maintained an air of cynicism which acted as a cover for our fear but we were clearly commited [...]

What a buzz

After last weeks record 6 runs and the weekly total of 26 km I ended up running myself into the ground because of my hip problem. This week I rested up and went stir crazy at home. This morning I just needed to get out and break free – it was fabulous! I was expecting [...]
