The Other Side of the World

Its great to read blogs from folks on the other side of the world, but have you ever wondered where exactly, the other side of the world is? This is a fun google maps gadget that allows you to dig right the way through to the other side. I end up in the ocean, slap [...]

Weightloss for Nerds

Weightloss for Nerds

I’m building up for another assault on my weight. Over the last 15 months I lost 20lbs! Unfortunately no whooping and a hollering is deserved as the net position sees this 20lbs declining to a mere 7lbs loss. I went through 3 clear weightloss phases and as the chart shows, I don’t have too much [...]

Cold Bugs

Cold Bugs

I’ve had a cold for a few days so if I were the sensible type I really wouldn’t have run today. Trouble is, my runners world mag turned up yesterday and I’ve just finished Ultramarathon Man so my motivation level is at its monthly peak and I can’t afford to waste this free energy because [...]

What No Headache?

So my new site has launched and I have to say I am seriously impressed with wordpress. Movable type used to leave me on the verge of a nervous breakdown every time I attempted a significant update or even a minor design tweak. With wordpress I have been able to do a complete server installation, [...]

Worrying Developments

Worrying Developments

I am slightly concerned about two new obsessions that seem to be gaining a foothold. Firstly you may have noticed that a whole load of ultrarunners have suddenly gatecrashed my blogroll and therefore my regular reading list. Yesterday my new book arrived, Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes, and I stayed up til 3am to finish [...]

Snow

Did I mention it was cold? snowpond Originally uploaded by warriorwomen. To be fair this was an early morning snap and by the time I hit the road this evening, all the snow had long since thawed out. I needn’t have worried about developing hypothermia either, true to form I puffed along like an overly [...]

Good grief, has anyone noticed how flippin cold it is? I’m supposed to be running home tomorrow but I know I will lose certain extremities if I expose them to the chilling wind for 1hr 20 mins. I can feel the pain already. Last week I was worried about overheating in my long sleeved t-shirt, [...]

Where’s Wally?

Where's Wally?

Why is it, when you run a circular route in a gale, the wind just never seems to be in your favour? I was running on the spot for at least half of my route this morning. The rowers looked to be suffering too, I witnessed a few near collisions as they got buffeted around [...]

Running with Everytrail

Running with Everytrail

I’m still intent on running home once a week, so today I repeated the exact same running route as last week. I again finished the 10k distance in 1hr 20mins, and was strangely within 15 seconds of my previous time. Given that it was direct replay of last weeks route, there isn’t much point me [...]

Muddy Shoes

What a lovely morning, it felt like a real treat to be out running and it seems like the rest of running London felt the same way and chose to join me in Richmond Park. I chose a new track in the park but as there must be about a thousand to choose from there’s [...]
