Running on a Cliff Edge

March 28th, 2010 matt 1 comment

Today was an okay run. I wasn’t very focused — los­ing an hour in the tran­si­tion to British Sum­mer Time can do that to a per­son; I still haven’t even changed all my clocks, so I’m liv­ing with one foot in the past — but that was okay. Some­times being unfo­cused means your run is […]

Backdated Run

March 25th, 2010 matt Comments off

Just a quick back­dated entry: I did go for a run this week; just the usual 5K, but I waited until Thurs­day because I was knack­ered on Wednes­day. And then I went straight to Brist­wes­t­i­val, the tonguetwistingly-named Bris­tol Twit­ter fes­ti­val, so I didn’t have time to blog…

Simple Sunday

Nice and easy today, after last weekend’s 12K effort. I was meet­ing friends at Bris­tol Zoo at 11, so I had to get up early to get run­ning first. Which I did man­age, despite the best efforts of the LUNs — my short­hand for my Loud Upstairs Neigh­bours — who man­aged to wake me up […]

Bring me Sunshine…

Yup, as you can see by the scene behind the scary, wonky-sunglassed weirdo in the pic­ture, it was a really nice day today. And I went on a route through Leigh Woods, which was gor­geous. Not con­tent with doing the 8K through the woods like I did last time, going out along the tow­path, up […]

The Eighties Are Coming to Get Me

I think the new shoes have done the trick. Some­thing has, any­way, as tonight’s run was lots bet­ter than my last 5K effort down the Port­way. My hip feels fine, and I didn’t feel totally knack­ered from the get-go like I did last time, either. Which is all good. Even bet­ter, there were actu­ally some […]

The Joy of Shoes

March 7th, 2010 matt Comments off

So, picked up my new shoes on Fri­day — Mizuno Wave Inspire 6es — and walked lots in them yes­ter­day to make sure they felt all right, and that noth­ing was rub­bing. And they were fine, so today I went out into the gor­geous Spring sun­shine and did a sim­ple 5-and-a-bit-K, just around half the […]

Hello, lovely read­ers! You’re look­ing great today. Have you lost weight? Yes, you can tell I’m but­ter­ing you up for some­thing, can’t you?
