All weekend, as I am completely broke the gym is going to be my main activity this weekend.
Except for Sunday when my daughter and I are off to see Plan B in Lincoln which I am very excited about.
Talking about my daughter she has won the Duke of Devonshire’s art bursary for students reading art at university. I am as you can imagine very proud.
As I am of my son who had a great time at a foam party last night!!!!

Took advantage
Of the nice weather yesterday and ran eight miles, need to get plenty of miles in just in case I enter the Worksop half at the end of the month.
Running five tonight and then going to the gym rubbish night on the TV so might as well.
Reading ‘Runner’s World’ magazine and I am really looking forward to entering some cross country races this winter. My club is in a league so hopefully lot’s of races!

A weekend of rest, reading and rest!
Looking forward to doing nothing.
Current reading obsessesion is the Crimean War, at the moment I am totally absorbed in a book about Louis Nolan the guy who delivered the message ordering the Charge of the Light Brigade. Fascinating stuff!
Will probably run approx 15 miles over the weekend with one trip to the gym the only bit of work to do is cutting the lawn.
Now all I have to do is get through the rest of the afternoon here at the happy place!!
Have a good one

In work early! Again!
And probably stopping late! Again!
Did force myself out last night for a steady five mile run just to blow the cobwebs away.
Tonight I think a trip to the gym still working on this six pack, will it ever appear? I can feel it but unfortunately it is under about half an inch of fat which refuses to leave me after all these years. All I want is to get a six pack take a photo say to myself there you go! You did it! Then forget about it!
Weather taken a turn for the worse it is getting chilly and it is quite windy. Had to wear a long sleeve top last night.
It is the Great North Run this Sunday and I will be watching it on the telly. Having competed in it the last two years both times not fully fit. I don't think I will do it again. Although a great event and one I am very glad I did it is I think too big and the route is a bit dull. But I will be watching it on Sunday morning and probably wishing I was there.
It is and hopefully you have noticed the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and there are some great TV programmes on at the moment better than the usual rubbish. Lots about the Spitfire hopefully they won't forget the good old Hurricane.
cheers

12/09/10 Nottingham Half Marathon Race Report
FANTASTIC!!
The best half I have done loved every minute of it. Was not my fastest but it was my best. Felt good from beginning to end. The picture to the left is me at mile 13 (number 5160) and I managed to sprint to the finish.
Loved the route!
Loved the atmosphere!
Am even thinking of doing the full marathon next year!
Was a perfect day and a perfect race weather could not have been better there were plenty of drinks stations the organisation was faultless and I really like the medal.
Great running in my home city only wish I had started running years ago.
cheers
