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 [...]

The hangover runs are the worst
I was very silly last night. It was Stephanie Boyle, PR manager at Visit Britain’s leaving do and I’d said I’d pop in for a couple after my course as I had to be up early to go again. Best laid plans and all that… I ended up leaving at 11pm, a mixture of red [...]

Today should have gone smoothly…
… but it didn’t Today was meant to be a nice easy run – just a three miler after yesterday’s 14 miler and associated fuel tank problem. The idea, as I was on the PT course in Southwark was to knock off there at 5pm and head to Hyde Park for a 6pm meet and [...]

14 miles, 1,400 miles and running out of gas
As part of my training for the Athens Marathon, I had to do a 14 miler today… No problem I thought, after doing just over a half marathon last week. With more DIY and some paid-for writing work to complete, I decided to set off early and was out of the house for 7.30am, fuelling [...]

Mums always think you're the best
Please donate to my chosen charities by clicking here I swear there was a time, maybe ten or 15 years ago, where doing any kind of exercise, never mind a big challenge was kind of frowned upon. It seems like it used to be that instead of counting the miles you ran, the number of [...]

The make or break run
Well that was interesting… a supposed 17mile run that ended up being 18.5 thanks to my map reading going out the window somewhere around Wimbledon Common, a relatively stiff and not a little painful first three miles, a great middle section around the Common and a last couple of miles where I stumbled from step [...]

Split to the gym and back
Still a little tight today so another fairly easy run that I actually split in two. I’d not made it the gym at all this week so decided to run there and back, happily, in another case of running serendipity, it’s about 1.47 miles to the gym… Click here for a Google Map and full [...]

Signed up for the disney Marathon
Very excited yesterday to find out Disney actually hosts a marathon around Walt Disney World in Orlando every January that runs through the four parks – I’ve already put my name down to come back next year and run it. This morning’s run was another dark one as we have another early start but I [...]

Walt Disney World Orlando, the second run
I set out a little later today than yesterday and could actually see where I was running to! Our hotel, the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World looks over Bay Lake which joins with neighbouring Seven Seas Lagoon (where we zipped around on Sea Raycers yesterday, see Worldofjames.com) and there’s a path that leads someway [...]

First run at Disneyworld Orlando
Absolutely gutted that thanks to jetlag I missed the shuttle launch at 4.15 am this morning here in Orlando. The shuttle launch pad could be seen from my room in the Disneyworld Contemporary Resort in the dark night sky and a combination of the excitement of seeing it and jetlag saw me waking up every [...]
