A new blog!

Recording my running and other random rambling rambles of a forty plus bloke!

A bit of history,
I started running on the 1st May 2009 and have to date run two 10ks, six half marathons and one marathon. My PB’s (personal bests) are 49.43 10k, 1:43.35 half marathon and 4:18.29 marathon.

My aim this year is too run ten half marathons and one marathon (done it! Edinburgh 31/05/09) and various 10ks. I would like to get a new pb in the half of less than 1:40 and get under 48 minutes for a 10k.

Next race is the Stoke half on Sunday the 14th which is supposed to be a bit hilly but training this week is going pretty well did eight miles last night in 1:00.43 which is my fastest to date for said distance.

Tonight I am going mountain biking around Sherwood Pines a local country park and also the venue for quite a few 10k races throughout the year. Have not been cycling for a while but it will be a change from running and should be a good laugh. Am using my brother’ bike a very nice Raleigh Team replica which fingers crossed he will forget I have, though not if he reads this blog!

Will let you know how I got on tomorrow, Ta Ta!
