I’m ill. Which is fine. I’d specifically planned to do bugger‐all during the period between Christmas and New Year, and if you’re going to loaf about unshaven for a few days, you might as well fit a cold in while you do it. It helps that — so far — it’s just a regular winter […]
Today I woke up tired and with a headache, after a bad night’s sleep. Oddly, though, I still felt the urge to go out for my first jog since the Bristol Half. I’ve been meaning to get back out pounding the streets for a couple of weeks now, but my change in routine — I […]
Since my last angst‐filled posts, I have managed to get out a couple of times, but I’m not back even to twice‐a‐week running yet. Still. On the plus side, last Sunday I got out for a 10K run through Leigh Woods, albeit with a bit of a walking break on the steep bits. This weekend […]

Although I suppose I would probably have needed that kind of speed to fly over the Avon Gorge and several tall buildings like […]
A nice five miles through Leigh Woods today. It was another alternating walk/run according to the training plan thingy I’m following with RunKeeper, and that helped me up my running pace a bit. Well, apart from on the steeper hills 🙂 Today’s photo is from Leigh Woods. Leigh Woods is mostly National Trust‐owned, and a […]
Just a quick 5K down the Portway for me this evening. After I got back, I signed up for one of RunKeeper’s new “virtual FitnessClasses”, which I’m hoping will give me a training plan to stick to through the winter. My half‐marathon speed was really quite rubbish — hardly surprising given that I’ve never pushed […]
