Yesterday’s stop-start running shenanigans where I started three separate runs in a short space of time have left me feeling pretty sore. There’s a whole lot of chafing going on, while by warming up and cooling down, I’ve also a bit of a sniffle… When the cat alarm (thanks Mini) went off this morning at [...]

1250 miles down and off to Frankfurt
Just a quick update as I’m off to Frankfurt for a couple of days to a conference but today I clocked up my 1250th mile…. not bad going. The run took me from home, around Tooting Common and back through Streatham where I picked some money up from the bank for the trip. On the [...]

Making the challenge much tougher
So with the 1095 miles done and with some 60 odd more days left, I’ve decided to up the challenge and try and cover 1,500 miles for the 365 days of running. As such, I sent an email out yesterday to try and raise some more cash for charity… which read like this: It seems [...]

Exams, new trainers and knackered
God, I am absolutely battered today. A combination of our loud cat Mini screaming at 4am (she wants attention as soon as it’s light) and a little stress before my first PT exam this morning had me not getting back to sleep. Did I use the time wisely? Well I answered some emails and did [...]

Coming back like a drowned rat
So another five miles this morning with a gym session in the middle of it all – I’m thinking of coming up with a mini five miles challenge but have not yet decided what form it’s going to take…. I might have more details in the next few days. What was different this morning was [...]

1,100 miles passed and "I can't wait for some chips"
So I know it’s not much of another milestone, given I passed my 1095 mile target just yesterday but today’s run took me past 1,100 miles so far. With the weather so warm, I’ve decided on gym days I’m going to split my run: run up to the gym, do some weights and run back…. [...]

Passing the 1,000 mile mark
I’d been planning for my long run this weekend to see me over the thousand mile mark and had also planned to meet up with my pal David so he could join me on the momentous run. Saturday saw him have to spend time with the family and so we moved the run to this [...]

The post-marathon blues – call for help
I’m not sure if there is such a thing as post,Marathon blues but I think I must be on a bit of a comedown, both physical and mental, from running the Brighton Marathon. The three miles a day I have to do have become a real routine part of my life. Get up, kit on, [...]

Missing the seventh month anniversary
I’ve been so pre-occupied with the Brighton Marathon over the last week that the seven month anniversary of the three mile a day challenge totally passed me by! (It was on Tuesday) I’ve been shifting at The Express today with a bit of a late finish so it’s too late now but I’ll do a [...]

The run before Brighton
The last run this morning before tomorrow’s Brighton Marathon saw we do a very, very easy circuit of Streatham Common – little more than a jog to get me through the last day without any problems. I’ve also had a good stretch out and am about to jump in a cold bath and then it’s [...]
