Festive Planning and Knackered Crackers

I am fully recovered now, and no longer have excuses for missing training runs but nevertheless I am still managing to miss ’em. I’ve therefore been out on the search and found another ghoulish run to do, its called the Box Hill Knacker Cracker – an extremely hilly run on New Years day. OGB has remained strangely quiet since I emailed him the joining [...]

Fancy a Bottle of Dog, Pet?

Fancy a Bottle of Dog, Pet?

The Great North Run has got to be the most self-indulgent running event in the race calendar, I personally could handle this kind of ego boost on a monthly basis, I would say weekly, but as I’m still unable to walk so I think that might be pushing it. Look how happy I am barely [...]

Great North Run - Race Tips

This time next week I ought to be sitting in a South Tyneside pub celebrating the end of a half marathon. I’m pretty apprehensive about the event, the travel arrangements are just mind boggling and both me and OGB have decided to just arrive and hope we get dragged in the right direction. Every time [...]

Floral Running

Got home, and as is my want, flicked on the kettle while settling down to check out y’all blog updates. Jogblogs stream of consciousness post left me completely out of puff and I thought perhaps I could be excused this evenings training run as a result. I just started on my mug of tea, teeny [...]

Tag You're It!

Oh dear, I’ve been had, EatDrinkWoman tagged me the other day and although I did my best to ignore it, I now notice that Kathy got in on the act and tagged me too. Clearly no escape, I have to answer a list of questions, boring you all senseless in the process and then make [...]

Bluewater 10k – What No Cows?

Bluewater 10k - What No Cows?

It was a less than an auspicious start to my East London running debut. I took the carb loading to a whole new extreme and I was still bulging at the seams when I was dragged from my bed this morning at 6am. Knowing that it was a ridiculously early start I had travelled over [...]

BPTT Update For 11th August

Before I start, I have to get something off my chest – why on earth would someone choose to enter the search string “grotty old women” and double why on earth would google decide to direct them to my site? No grotty old women to see here – walk away from the computer, freaky google [...]

The Road to GNR – Week 1/10

The Road to GNR - Week 1/10

Something bad happened this week. I got rather too drunk (it was my birthday) and OGB took the advantage to turn the tables and bully me into a running event. I don’t know what came over him, that’s supposed to be my job. I wake up on Tuesday with a hangover fitting my extended age [...]

Better Late than Never

Better Late than Never

As usual I wake up on race day, filled with absolute dread. Looking back it seems quite an appropriate apprehension. The British London 10k had already been billed to me as being just about the worst race in the UK calendar and with just moments to go before the start I found myself enveloped in [...]

Boring Running Commute No 1

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 [...]
