The weather’s hotting up, the running’s been continuing and I’m making reasonable progress, having run 61Km this month in all kinds of weather. The low point was a particularly windswept 7k in Finsbury Park in which I got absolutely soaked and shat on by a bird with greeny-coloured poo. Today’s run was the longest so [...]
At midnight on midsummer’s night, I’ll be attempting the midnight sun half marathon in Tromsø, inside the Arctic circle. The sun will hopefully be shining. There will only be a few hundred other people running. We may have to run across a runway. Inspired by David’s marathon blog (and success!), I thought I’d post up [...]
I nearly cried when I found my iPod shuffle had been through the washing machine with my skanky gym kit. When it came out I could hear soapy water sloshing around inside it. Big sad face. However! I am now a happy gym bunny and my iPod shuffle is well again. Here’s my advice for [...]
I’m no artist, and design is not my thing (this site is testament to that), but in the craze over the 2012 olympics logo (which looks like our old patio on speed), people might overlook the fact that the London 2012 landing page is even worse.

It was tremendously hard going – I found it difficult to deal with the adrenaline ups and downs caused by the volume of people inflicting lime green and bright orange [...]
Three months ago I decided to put myself through 10,000m of bewilderment by signing up to Nike Run London in Hyde Park. Funny how time flies: the run is next Sunday. My weekly training regime has mostly consisted of: 2 runs per week around the leafy parks of Ealing, becoming progressively more lengthy 2 hour-long [...]
In a slightly rash move, I’ve just signed up to take part in the Nike 10K on October 8th. I’m on Team North (because we all know that North is best) and I’ll be in the second wave. Now I just have to get fit enough to actually run it…
Is what they’ve forecast for Wednesday. I am concerned. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced temperatures hotter than inside my own grumpsome, turbulent body. What will happen, I wonder? Will the tiny air-con units give up the ghost and cause mass hysteria? Will I involuntarily climb into the fridge? Will I pop? It’s a worry. [...]
