I like Sundays. It’s pretty much the only day of the week were I can afford the time to unwind, recount the previous week and look to the next. I usually allow myself a little lie-in and have a lazy morning before meeting up with friends, typically to do something quite energetic. Today that was [...]

I don’t have a lot to say today. I ran, kept the pace low. It felt OK. Things are gradually improving, but I’m still limping. The messiness I mentioned yesterday has got a whole lot messier and I’m feeling sombre about it all. It’s pretty hard to be upbeat about anything right now. Time heals [...]

Another madcap day of running around. Between climbing, the supermarket run, cleaning the house, and having a bunch of friends over for dinner, I managed to squeeze in a run. Thankfully, I have zero plans for tomorrow. Maybe a bit of a lazy start to Sunday with a longer run is order. I think I’m [...]

Today was a long day. Up at 5:30am and off to Manchester for a day with colleagues. I got back home by 8:30pm, quickly got changed and headed straight out for a run. With such a long day and hectic day, I was already beginning to flag by the time I did my run.I was [...]

I think I over-stretched something in my right leg after yesterday’s run. I had to hobble down the stairs this morning and not much changed throughout the day. Still, despite having a slight limp, I knuckled down and got my running head on. It felt tough which I put down to the ache in my [...]

I hadn’t intended on leaving the run until 10pm, but it’s been a busy old day. I finished a project at work yesterday and immediately switched to another, so it’s been a bit of whirlwind trying to get my head around the new project. This evening I got caught up sorting out a lot of [...]

Lots of runners out & about this evening. I guess the timing of my run was a bit more social than usual. Curiously, everyone was running in the opposite direction to me. Also, it felt odd not running by the glow of my head torch. Steve made a comment couple of days ago about finding [...]

As I suspected, the noisy neighbours didn’t subside until gone 3am, so I slept in. Until 11am. For me this is virtually unheard of. Even at the weekends I’m usually up bright and early. Anyway, it was good to get some quality sleep. Since the start to the day was decidedly lazy, I let that [...]

That was easily my favourite run yet. And fastest in the last 18 days to boot. It was smooth, easy moving with a good tempo and not too much effort. I’m almost stiffness-free now I’ve changed my footwear. It’s really starting to show in my running too. I’m slowly clawing my way back to the [...]

I ventured out into daylight today. Well, only just. By the time I’d completed by run, there was a distinctly dark tint to the light that remained. I had an ulterior motive: I figured if I ran earlier, I could have a beer tonight. So that’s what I’m doing right now It’s been raining for [...]
