I said I’d have a surprise in store for you today. Something exciting for the dying days of my year-long challenge. This morning, having kipped over at my Brother’s place in town (due to a necessary early start) I headed out of the door at about 6am. I had an important appointment with a guy [...]

After yesterday’s horror of a run, I wasn’t too sure if was up to a long one this evening. Target was 11 miles or more. Ideally 13 if I felt ok, but I accepted that I’d have to run them slowly to protect the legs a bit. They have been sore all day and particularly [...]

Day 7 – Already we are one week down, and have completed a whole seven days of running every day, something neither David or myself have done before. And we are ok! Better than ok actually, David said he felt really good today, and certainly I was better than expected. This morning’s run was another [...]

I had in mind to run around 4 or 5 miles today. The legs had other ideas. The first quarter mile felt really good. Seven minute miles now seem to suit me quite well and I figured the body was good for it. A half a mile in, it was feeling somewhat weary. By a [...]

Day 6 – The conversation continued with my legs this morning, they answered -fortunately – and got on with the job. We had a lovely run this morning, it was bright and clear and cool and breezy. After resting quite a bit yesterday, our slightly tight calf muscles were all ok today, and any other [...]

Day 5 – Sunday run today and so we drive a short way to the Bay Run, a lovely local 7km flat track around the bay in Drummoyne. The Bay Run is so popular that it seems as busy as Piccadilly some days – and there are areas that have shared cyclist and run paths, [...]

At 9am the weather forecast showed a large blue mass crossing over the SW London area around 2pm today. This doesn’t bode well. Breakfast, bumble about the house for a while, grab the running gear and get ready to go. Damian arrives strangely around 7 minutes before the absolute latest arrival time I told him [...]

Day4 – Yawn – do we have to go? Yes, it is far easier just to get up a bit earlier, run, do the morning routine, and go to work. Saturdays should be a bit nicer on the system, with a little lie-in, no alarm. But being Day 4, we are still quite keen, so [...]

The following list of people; Neil, Helen, Jamie and Irene have all volunteered to take on the 1095 miles challenge! I’m going to leave it to each of them individually to introduce [...]
