Today’s jog was a very simple, slow 5K out down along the towpath and back. I almost didn’t go; I’ve had a fairly busy weekend, not enough sleep, and I was pretty tired. But I bought this chocolate flapjack, see, at lunchtime, from Chandos Deli in Clifton Village. And it was meant to be my […]
Just went for a simple 5K along the towpath tonight, nice and easy. Although RunKeeper’s showing it as a slow 6K, because I included the warm‐up and cool down, and forgot to stop the tracking when I’d finished the cool down… About the only thing of note — apart from the rather lovely view I […]
Wow. That was quite an intense 7K. Not because it was fast, or anything, just because I didn’t get out until about half past eleven, which meant I was running in the midday sun. That’s not been a worry so far this year. But on wandering outside, it was pretty obvious that we are no longer […]
Just a quick blog today. I got out for a simple 5K out along the towpath. No RunKeeper log to show for it today, as the GPS just didn’t want to lock. So I ran for about eighteen minutes, then turned around and ran back, on the ground that that would be at least five […]

So, having checked I’d got everything about three times, I set off this morning to walk down to the start of the Bristol 10K. Everything was very civilised and well‐organised. I got a preview of what was to come by walking in through what would become the “handouts at the finish” section, where they were […]
My playlist for tomorrow. I won’t get through all of this, because there’s two‐and‐a‐half hours of music there. It’ll be on shuffle.

Despite what I said last time, I didn’t get a chance to run last weekend, so I’ve had a full week off. Which feels fine to me. And tomorrow, I run the Bristol 10K 🙂 I’ll be starting off in the second of the two groups — i.e. with the slow people, at the back […]
