http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride! Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:45:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As promised earlier, here's the route map for the London to Brighton 2009 Bike Ride, courtesy of RunSaturday. I've also added the speed splits from Sporttracks just to illustrate how painfully slow the process was. I've currently got my log set up to show running and jogging paces but its quite ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/06/27/london-to-brighton-geeky-stuff/ Call that a bike ride....? At one point I thought we were actually going to be walking all the way to Brighton. Experienced L2B'ers had warned me to start the event early but I'm too lazy to get up for a 6am start. I may have had a leisurely 8:30am ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/06/22/london-to-brighton-2009/ Suzan and Carol the two founder members of the Surrey Housewives Set (SHS) have been relentlessly running the Bushy Park 5k time trial over the last 2.5 years and this Saturday they finally reached the 100 runs milestone. 500 kilometres ticked off (each) by the grim determination to get out of ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/05/04/done-a-runner/ Easter is about chocolate, lots of, and family stuff and as the latter involved a weekend at the in-laws with loads of artificially enhanced kids, it also turns out to be fairly conducive to running. I haven't been very successful with my running recently so I was grateful that we were ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/04/12/running-from-the-in-laws-with-the-sony-w-series-walkman/ 52.897407385378365 -0.6681060791015625 My general lack of running has been noted and rather strangely rewarded by the nice people at fitnessfootwear, who kindly offered me an alternative route to fitness in the form of a pair of Fit Flops. If you check out the website you'll find it littered with comments, from happy ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/04/08/fit-flops/ I have had a long held, yet chronicly resisted urge, to run around a muddy field under the command of some fella wearing army fatigues. Today I caved in and signed myself up for a trial run of the british Military Fitness experience. A very weird thing. It's like an S&M version ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/03/30/tight-tabards/ The new accessible job arrived and sucked away all my handy exercise avoidance excuses.....time to resurrect the running commute. My first attempt was an unwelcome struggle, my head was in a seriously moany place and my feet were doing that teenage scuffing thing. I made it past two commons lurching in ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/03/11/two-common-by-half/ I think I may have suggested a little while back, in a pub somewhere no doubt, that I would put happiness to one side and actually start running again in March. The arrival of the month also coincided quite nicely with the delivery of a damn fine pair of running ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/03/02/white-rabbits-and-grey-shoes/ 51.38142216329961 -0.7362556457519531 http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/02/26/british-airways-greatbritons-scheme/ Some of you may have noticed that I haven't run an awful lot of late, in fact if you want to be reasonably precise, I have run only once in the last month, which also happens to equate to once this year. How neat. If we want to be 100% precise ... http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2009/02/01/while-not-running/
