TdF – Stage 1

TdF - Stage 1

The tour came to London this weekend and I was lucky enough to be on the marshalling team for Sunday’s Stage 1 from London to Canterbury, not that I felt particularly lucky when my alarm went off at 4.45am. I was shipped out to Woolwich, not one of the more delightful spots of the route [...]

World Naked Sprint-like-crazy-athon

I’ve just got back in from my run – it was a tough one. I’d meant to go out for a run with Shakti this morning but certain events, like the title of this blog post and then a rather large steak conspired to thwart me. I’ve been going stir crazy most of the day [...]

Deadly Serious Runners

I was out running the other day when a nutter nice gentleman blocked my path and after consulting with Mr Invisible behind his right shoulder, informed me “You’ll die soon!”. He then waited just long enough for me to think “oh bugger” before continuing his sentence, which in its entirety went something like “You’ll die [...]

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 [...]

BPTT Update for 7th April

Don’t know what happened this morning but I slept through the alarm and only made it to Bushy Park by the skin of my teeth. Actually I do know what happened – I was playing around with new gadget, putting myself through my paces by trying out one of the fitness tests. I love these [...]

What a Shambles

I dragged myself out of bed at some ungodly hour this morning so I could get to the registration desk for The Great Escape run. Arrived too early as usual and then had to perform jumping jacks for about 2 hours to ward off hypothermia while we waited for the finance society to organise 400 [...]

Good grief, has anyone noticed how flippin cold it is? I’m supposed to be running home tomorrow but I know I will lose certain extremities if I expose them to the chilling wind for 1hr 20 mins. I can feel the pain already. Last week I was worried about overheating in my long sleeved t-shirt, [...]

Bus vs Bike vs WoMan

Today was d-day – the running commute was upon me. Much forwarding planning had been involved as well as expenses incurred and I couldn’t really think of a suitable excuse to get out of it. Since I started working at the hospital back in September I have cycled in every single day. Most people ooh [...]
