Nike Humanrace and Waterlogged Gadgets

Saturday evening, after entertaining my family with a slightly charred roast lamb joint but a perfectly acceptable bottle of vino (or two), I get an email from Nike. Apparently, if I could resurrect the long dead Nike+ Sportband, and push my sorry arse out of the door, complete with Sunday morning hangover, to complete a [...]

Another Commute

Another Commute

This grotty summer weather is doing wonders for my running. It just needs to threaten drizzle and I’m grabbing my trainers, or at least I’m thinking about grabbing my trainers as I’m the world’s worst procrastinator when comes to running. I’d scheduled a run for first thing Saturday morning but although I kept putting the [...]

Great Capital Run

As is usual for race day, I wake up grumpy as hell and immediately text OGB to remind him that he is entirely responsible for all that is wrong with the world – he replies with something outrageously abusive. A quick look back over previous race reports ought to be enough to remind me why [...]

Running Over Old Ground

Running Over Old Ground

The race packs seem to be dropping thick and fast through the letter box this week, after the painfully slow 5k at the weekend I came home and opened an envelope to discover I was entered in the Great Capital 10k in just 2 weeks time. Goodness knows when I signed up for that, I [...]

Pilgrim’s Progress

Pilgrim's Progress

With only 2 days left to cover off 3 tube lines the pressure was on today. All started positively as my hacking cough ensured I had a spacious seating arrangement on the tube as it transported me across to the other side of the metropolis. I started to feel a bit more jaded as I [...]

Garmin Forerunner 405 – The Review

Garmin Forerunner 405 - The Review

As you all know, I think the Garmin Forerunner 305 is the best thing since sliced bread but I’m so fickle it’s taken barely a thought for me to stick it on ebay and swap it for the new version – the Forerunner 405. I’d like to say the new and IMPROVED Forerunner 405 but [...]

Piccadilly Line Complete

Piccadilly Line Complete

For the last 4 nights I have left work with the declaration, “Right, I’m off to do the Piccadily Line”. Tonight all excuses escaped me and I finally had to knuckle down and get it completed. It wasn’t as grueling as I expected, Garmin reported a total distance of 11.6 km but there were a [...]

Pink Line Down

Pink Line Down

I completed the Hammersmith and City line today. I had initially planned to run it as a single long run but in the end I took 3 attempts at it. I’m trying to take it gently with my back but today it was seizing up every time I stopped to take a photo and then [...]

Afraid of my Shadow

Afraid of my Shadow

Smack talk from the direction of JogBlog had me climbing out of my pyjamas and into my running shoes, ready to head out into the cold wet night. I thought a quickish blast around the block would be sufficient to stop her thinking I was anywhere close to slacking off yet, and also I could [...]

Frottering in Stepney

Frottering in Stepney

It would have been nice to lie in with a cup of tea and the latest omnibus edition of The Archers but unfortunately I have about 200 tube stations to visit over the next 30 days. Still, if you have to follow any tube line on a gloomy wet morning, it may as well be [...]
