BPTT Update for 14th July

This is just a quick update as I somehow managed not to run this again, opting instead for the comfy seat at the registration desk. I seem to have developed a fear of actually running at BPTT. The winning runner finished in a mere 15 min 55 secs, he had a massive lead but looked [...]

BPTT Update for 26th May

I tried to capture the essence of todays stampede but I just ended up getting in the way and the movie ends as the camera gets knocked out of my hands. Don’t you just hate home movies anyway? After the run (that I didn’t do – again), I went off on the bike in search [...]

BPTT Update for 19th May

Not much to report on the running front this week, it’s all been quite a struggle. Deege explains the runners eternal battle with the mind body dichotomy better than I ever could. I’m afraid to say that while Deege managed to win her battle, I just bailed. Out on my long run my body started [...]

Event T-Shirts

At the special request of Jogblog who always manages to pick great t-shirts with running events tagged on as a bonus, I have set up my own homage to the tatty duster material I get landed with. Maybe when I get a whole stack of them I might go really nerdy and have them turned [...]

Yorkshire Puddin

Missed yet another BPTT today as I was away on “family business”. Didn’t stop me running though. Dad dropped me off at Bridlington beach and my task was to get myself back home before my mum had vacated the bathroom. Its odd running oop north. Absolutely everyone I passed said hello to me. I have [...]

Sluggish Ticker

No BPTT update for today. I got up as planned, pushed the muesli to the back of the cupboard and opted for my new secret running weapon: the banana and hemp power smoothie. Packed bag, wired myself up with iPod and heart rate thingy and then grabbed my keys. On the way to the door [...]

BPTT Update for 28th April

Cutting to the chase, I have to announce that my pb streak has come to an end. I’m blaming the muesli. I’ve just started keeping a food log on my trainingpeaks account which means I have to weigh everything before I put it on my plate. I tipped the recommended 50g of muesli into my [...]

BPTT Update for 21st April

The popularity of the Bushy Park Time Trial is on the rise. With almost 400 runners each Saturday you’d think there’d be at least one or two as slow as me. Not a chance – how did all those new runners get to be so fast?! Hardly anyone to chase at all this week, I [...]

BPTT Update for 14th April

Another successful run today and a whole new pb! I don’t know where they are all coming from but it certainly helps when I’ve got someone to chase or even better when I have someone hot on my heels – I run and squeal like a girl when I get chased. I was battling it [...]

Break Out

Two weeks of working within a high security setting is starting to take its toll – talk about claustrophobic! I wasn’t sure if I could face another run this evening but after I made it through the fourth airlock to freedom, I just wanted to break free. I didn’t want to tie myself to the [...]
