Day 3 -Yes, there were two kookaburras, sitting on power lines, and they actually laughed this morning. Well, it probably was amusing as it was pre-dawn, grey and raining, and we were the only two out running this morning. Definitely worth a laugh! I hate running in the rain – well, I should qualify that. [...]

…especially when it hurts! I’m making it difficult again today. It’s a rest day. So I ran 5, including a couple of fast half miles. I was explaining to Ed last night at the club run that I’m going to finish on about 1,650 miles. I’d rather end on a big number like 1700. In [...]

Day 2 – Up again before the alarm (blame David, I can’t see this happening on the weekend!), and this time out in the pre-dawn, but just as the first birds were up. Around the block and home again, and yes, both on the early ferry. Another day, another run, another tick! By the way, [...]

I arrived at the club flustered, annoyed and having forgotten several things. I’m a ‘routine’ runner. What I mean is I’m a creature of habit, I need to go through a series of pre-run stages (rituals, some may say!) before I’m comfortable and ready to run. One of them is putting my running cap on.

It’s a Tuesday and we’re in Westminster tonight. I arrived at Waterloo this morning to find it hammering down with rain. It’s been raining heavily all day. David and I dodged the rain showers to manage 5 miles around Westminster/Lambeth Bridge/Battersea. I received the following email from Michelle last night, in response to mine suggesting [...]

A Gold for Mo Farah. Well done Mo. I was all for an early run today until I realised the 5000m was on at 11:30 ish. I had to wait. For a short while I though Mo was out of sorts, he seemed to spend the first couple of laps at the very back of [...]
