Nike+ Sportband

I’ve taken my time to write this post because I’m not sure whether to come clean about my sins or to attempt a bluff. I was sent the Nike+ Sportband to try out at the beginning of the week but as I don’t have holes in my running shoes I couldn’t possibly go running before [...]

Sozzled after Stella

Sozzled after Stella

There seems to be a new and somewhat concerning military theme developing on this blog, not content to just run along with the US Marine Corps choir, yesterday I decided to head out and run with the SAS. That’s SAS as in Sweet as Swans rather than Special Air Service but it’s almost the same [...]

Death by Garmin

Death by Garmin

It’s true, my Garmin is trying to kill me. While the BBC are issuing warnings for the UK softies to stay indoors for fear of catching a chill in the forecast cold spell, my Garmin thinks it would be fun to give me hypothermia. It has me standing outside, scantily clad in running gear, hopping [...]

Running out of Stella

Running out of Stella

Today was a day for making amends for last weeks limp lettuce training efforts. I had a fairly heroic route in mind but given that it took me over an hour after the garmin had locked on to my window ledge accessible satellites, to actually push myself out of the door, I couldn’t be sure [...]

Tag You’re It!

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 [...]

Recovery Drinks

My long run in the Road to GNR program was booked in for tonight, so of course that means one of those grotty running commutes. My requirement was for 8 miles. I’m still unsure why I set my plan in miles when I can only run in kilometres, on either scale it meant I had [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

More Playlist Mayhem

As I mentioned earlier, my Saturday has been pretty much ruined due to a wasted day waiting for a delivery from M&S. The delivery was to be expected anytime between 7.30 am and 6 pm. Its gone 8 now and I’m still sitting here, pee’d off, no parcel and no run. I’ve given up now [...]
