Trowse 10k 2013

Well, I made it back alive. I’ll be honest, it felt like touch and go at times! When I signed up for the Trowse 10k I had visions of a beautiful spring morning countryside jaunt. In reality of course it’s bitterly cold, in fact there were snow flurries part way round, and the clocks went

The Need for Speed

When I started running I started buying running magazines. They frequently contained sentences along the lines of “running at a fairly easy 9 minute mile pace” which made me snort, and then feel like a failure as I looked at my Nike+ stats average of 10’40” a mile. Quotes from an assortment of blogs. I’ve

#janathon Day Twenty Eight

I felt tiiiired today. One of those days where you feel like even dragging yourself up the stairs is a feat of pure endurance. It was also windy and rainy, but I snatched a moment in between rain showers to head out around my favourite Janathon 1.4 ish mile route. I vowed to take it

#janathon Day Twenty Six – The Run of Terror

“Oh”, I thought. “The Sun is shining, that must have put paid to some of that ice” Wrong. I was quite hungover today. Note last nights 2am blog post. It was the sort of hangover where unless there’s something really urgent to be done you’re still in bed at lunch time. I was still in
