Well today it was a story of could I find a window in the weather to get out and back without getting soaked. Unfortunately the answer was simply NO. I thought I had got away with it, when I headed out as the heavy rain had stopped and the sun was attempting to show it’s [...]

The sun made a re-appearance tonight and it was most welcome. An evening run in the warm is much better than a cold wet one. There was nothing special about the route today , a simple lap of the village. The pace did seem to get faster as I went although I wasn’t trying to [...]

Well I did wonder today whether I was going to successfully complete todays run, it started when I got in and turned on my Garmin, which said its battery was flat. Strange that as it said it was fully charged yesterday after I uploaded the data. This meant that I had to quickly stick it [...]

Another run with my wife this morning, although unusually for her there pace was very variable, one minute she would speed up the next slow down for no apparent reason. The weather today was great blue sky, sunshine and so that bought the Oakley’s out to ensure I looked good! During the run as I [...]

Before todays run I went to have a ride up one of the hills on the forthcoming BOB Challenge, Hill Road at Watlington. I have never been up this hill before and so I thought it a decent idea to go and try it as people who knew it told me it was both long [...]
