Blimey, I went for a run this morning around 6.20am, thankfully recovered from yesterday’s hangover, came back to blog about it and realised that today is day 355… I have ten days left and for some reason, thinking about it and putting it down is putting a little knot of panic in my stomach. What [...]

So last night, some of the loveliest PRs in London celebrated the launch of their new collaborative effort The Travel PR Experts with a dinner at Theo Randall’s fabulous restaurant at the Intercontinental Park Lane.

First of all, apologies to anyone trying to read today who could not get onboard – but we’ve been migrating the site to the new, fresher design that can do some cooler stuff like actually displaying the Garmin/Google maps on each post so you don’t have to click through if you just want an overview [...]

I managed to get myself in a right old tizz this morning. Late last night, I started testing migrating the blog from being hosted by wordpress.com to wordpress.org. While most people will now be going ‘huh?’ it’s quite a big change. WordPress.com allows you to host blogs on their servers but in exchange for the [...]

Day 345, just the 20 to go and I’ve reached 1,450 miles, though this morning’s three miler was one of the toughest… aching from upping the mileage yesterday, I took it veeeeeeeery slowly. Click here for a link to Garmin Connect for a map and details of the run Miles today: 3 Target: 1035 Miles [...]
