What a difference a year makes
These time gaps on the blog are starting to become a bit of a habit I’m afraid. I’m ever so sorry if you have been tuning in regularly expecting, perhaps even longing, for an update. I know you must all be chomping at the bit to read more of my…

It’s grim out east
After all the hype, all the build up, and all the expectation, Sunday ultimately proved to be a bit of a let down; an all-too-familiar feeling of disappointment followed by recurring thoughts of what perhaps might have been. No I’m not talking about the latest failure from England at a…

In sickness and in confidence
So, here we are again: the night before the morning of a real race with real people. It’s becoming quite a habit now, my ninth or possibly tenth event since I started all this malarkey. And it’s a (relatively) short, sharp burst, in keeping with the trend of races of…

And so it begins. Again.
Long time no see eh? Just as I thought it might, this place has become somewhat neglected of late, reflecting my own self-being perhaps, as a sweaty summer of hellish marathon training and muchos healthy eating paved the way for an autumn and winter of carnage, re-integrating myself with normal…
