Hi!

It’s been a while!

Not being able to access my blog at work is a serious pain in the glutimous maximus!

So what’s occurring, I have not been to running club since before Christmas mainly due to the weather however last night I played football. 6 a side and really enjoyed it! It is so much more fun when you are fit and I scored five goals two with my right foot, which is normally reserved for just standing on!

I have been averaging approx ten miles a week which is not that good especially when I was reminded today that the Kilomathon is only six weeks away. So next week I have running club two nights and will have to at least double my weekly mileage.

In other news, the harmonica playing is going very slowly, another woman has given me her email address!! (can I be bothered? Probably not!) and I think I am joining a gym! I have got a couple of council tax free months coming up so I may as well sign up! Will keep you informed!

Notts County (touch wood!) seem to be secure and they are playing well. Still have not plucked up the courage to go to another match don’t want to jinx them.

This weekend I just have my daughter so it is party time, wish me luck!

Still here!

Waiting for the snow to finally go.

Sunday Night!

All ready for work, today was spent on some groundwork for a few of my resolutions!

Threw some stuff away, a new year a new start.

Have finally worked out how to use my ipod thanks to my son! So I now have playlists of Lloyd Cole (my hero) and the Eels. Anybody else think they are living their life to a soundtrack?

Just me then!

My life seems to follow the career of the aforementioned Mr Cole, but hey, it has not been boring!

Too come,

Monday night, as long as it is not pissing it down or icy I will be running, at least three miles hopefully four. Got to get cracking again. Then at least 20 minutes harmonica practice and then some Viking basing (don't ask, another hobby, it is now a matter of pride!)

Tuesday, running again!(& harmonica practice)

Wednesday, running again and watching the Carling Cup semi on BBC1 (plus harmonica practice!)

Thursday, running club yeah running with people!!!

Friday, as Monday!

Repeat!

Repeat!

Hopefully I will manage to post with help from my Bro!

cheers

Back to running..

Now 2010 I am going to be a bit more choosy about the races I enter, definitely Mansfield (it is local, Clowne as it was the best route I have run and I would like to do Newark Again)

But for the early part of the year I have penciled in;

Grantham half 07/03/10

Kilomathon 14/03/10 (this one I have already entered!)

Retford half 21/03/10

Sheffield half 25/04/10

and

Hinkley half 09/05/10

I am hoping to run races I have not run before and later on in the year I hope to go a bit further a field, hopefully I want to manage at least ten half marathons!

Will keep you informed but I am getting quite excited, I am hoping for a PB (personal best) at Mansfield, not the most interesting route but a decent finish!

cheers

Thinking about...

...going to watch Notts tomorrow!

The only problem being I am a bit of a jinx, I have seen super Notts County four times this season and have yet to see them win, sooooo seeing as this is a very important game I might stop at home and practice the harmonica & watch Leeds beat Man U (I was a Leeds fan as a kid!, still are my second team!).

Plus I have got to get ready for that nasty place on Monday! I need a shave, a clean shirt and a drink!!

One day to go until the resolutions kick in!

I know it sounds daft but I can get a bit obsessed!

Anyway must go, last night in a warm house, see ya!

New Years Resolutions

Right here we go!, first of all 2010 is going to be a good year!

1, Keep on running
2, Join a gym (about June time!)
3, Learn a musical instrument, the harmonica my beautiful daughter bought me one for Christmas!
4, Paint 1000pts of Vikings (another hobby!!)
5, Drink less
6, Read more
7, Eat better
8, Run a half marathon in less than 1 hour 40 minutes
9, Get a tattoo! (I'm on my third mid-life crisis!)
10, Find my happy ending!

There we go! Ten, yes, ten New Years Resolutions how many of these will I achieve? Hopefully all ten!

So as I said earlier my New Year starts on Monday that means I have two more days to really BLOW OUT and GO FOR IT!

Oh, I am also thinking of writing a book, an auto biography, of course names will be changed to protect the guilty! I think my life story would make a great film, who will play me in the movie?

Well I have been giving this some serious thought, early years probably somebody like Paolo Nutini,


then perhaps Johnny Vegas,


finishing up with Hugh Grant,



Now I think some of the details may piss of a few people, but hey we will call it fiction!

Resolution number three, my first task given to me by my daughter is to learn the harmonica intro to Ryan Adam's 'Firecracker' so I have downloaded the track and am listening to it everyday it is surprising how many songs have the harmonica in! The key to learning an instrument is allegedly to practice daily for about 20 minutes this trains the brain and is much better than nothing all week and then two hours at the weekend!

Anyway will keep you informed of my progress. Not just the harmonica but all my resolutions.

Off now to think of a title for my book!

Currently....

....stopping at my parents house with my son.

Why?

Easy answer it's warm!

Anyway have been sent to bed to watch the telly, he wants to go on the xbox while I want to watch 'Sweet Home Alabama' I love that movie but apparently it is gay!

You can tell I am not at home because I can blog, posts might be a bit less frequent in the new year as work (bastards!) have installed a shield to limit access to non business web sites, but there is always a way around everything.

Running will start again soon weather permitting, it has snowed again, looks pretty but it is a pain!

Anyway must go the films about to start!

Three days to go!

To the start of my new year! Resolutions being written as we speak, until then.......

...oh go on then, pass me a cold one.

Happy New Year!

Same shit! Different date!
