EPO vs Merengue

EPO vs Merengue

Thanks Tanya for sending me this rather fine collection of legs to choose from in case my own shoddy examples aren’t on form for this Sundays British 10k. So far I haven’t resorted to leg transplantation as I have other options… No Wetsuit Girl has recommended EPO which seems to be de-riguer for all us [...]

Running Fettle and Leg Imposters

Running Fettle and Leg Imposters

I’m not in fine running fettle at the moment. My legs are misbehaving a little, they seem to have forgotten that they belong to a runner now and are firmly set in the slobbing out in front of the telly mode. The legs managed an 8.5 k circuit of Richmond Park today but I’m not [...]

Boring Running Commute No 2

This was a pitiful hobble masquerading as a running commute. I feel fit to quit running today. Throughout the tiny distance I managed to keep moving, I was sulking and stropping like a four year old. Not that anyone noticed. This time round I was looking at the garmin for permission to quit after just [...]

World Naked Sprint-like-crazy-athon

I’ve just got back in from my run – it was a tough one. I’d meant to go out for a run with Shakti this morning but certain events, like the title of this blog post and then a rather large steak conspired to thwart me. I’ve been going stir crazy most of the day [...]

Boring Running Commute No 1

I’ve been getting seriously bored with my daily cycle into work, it takes so long and the route is ugly, but for some reason I thought running home would add the spice missing from life. So today marks the inaugral boring running commute. I was mistaken in thinking that running the route at a sedate [...]

Deadly Serious Runners

I was out running the other day when a nutter nice gentleman blocked my path and after consulting with Mr Invisible behind his right shoulder, informed me “You’ll die soon!”. He then waited just long enough for me to think “oh bugger” before continuing his sentence, which in its entirety went something like “You’ll die [...]

A Half Commute

A Half Commute

My regular running commute has been on the back burner for a while. I started at my new placement a few weeks ago which has pushed the required running distance to 13 miles, part of which covers a portion of the West’s very own murder mile, or in fact murder 12 miles. Needless to say [...]

Juneathon Invite?

Juneathon Invite?

Somehow I managed to miss my invite to the Juneathon challenge, neither XFR Bear, Jogblog or Jogger blogger saw fit to let me know of the great event before it was too late and I was too pissed to join in. On the 1st, I managed an unexpected sprint home from the pub, as my [...]
