Week 3 day 4

5 miles today. Felt good for the first three so things must be improving. Listened to a pocast from a guy I used to dj with. Enjoyed it, but did feel a pang of jelosy that he is collaborating with my heros while I am running through Levenhulme.

One step at a time, that's all it takes.

Week two day six

Did the Pennine Loop today 5.68 miles. Trainers are feeling good. Found out why all my podcasts were playing twice as fast as they should be. I had pressed the x2 button. Dohh.

Nice to have some normal speed music. Found out I can put video on here so may try a small clip next week.

Week two day five

Longest run yet today 4.5 miles. Ran out towards the castle cement works through Waddington and back into Clitheroe. Need to do at least this distance once a week and start to add a mile or two as I get fitter. Need new trainers, planning to go sooner rather than later so my feet can get used to them.

I can think of worse places to run.

No run today. Had friends round to help with building flat pack furniture. Need to get the house ready for our wedding - 2 weeks today! While this is making me very busy at the moment I am determined to keep going with the training.

Week one day 6

No time for breakfast today. Ran at lunch time after a stressful morning at work and after, so not much energy. Told Syd i was going for a run and he said that he was going for a pie, very tempting. I pod was playing up so the drum and bass was at double speed, should have got round in half the time but could not keep up. Blister giving me some grief.

Quiet night in with a video, glass of wine and a beautiful fiancé. Bliss.

Non training day one

Mmmmm...

Week one day three

First day back at work since having my place confirmed. I think that motivation is going to be factor over the winter. Not sure if I should keep my gym membership on or run on the roads in the area. Not feeling to sure about this all today. Decided on an alternative activity to running:



Went for the meal with Ruel and Cath last night. Great food and company. Pleased that Ruel agreed to me running for his charity. Would like to raise £3k but will have to see how it goes. The fund raising will be for Bhimavaram life centre school, India.

Week one day two

Second run in Wales, GPS going properly today, short distance only 1.23 mile, 12 mins, ave speed 6.8 mph. It's a start. Plenty of room for improvement.


Need some new trainers, thinking of going to the traingle where they do the slow motion video tecnology thing where the find out you run like all wrong like a disabled girraffe and give you some shoes to comphensate. Meal with Ruel from the charity tonight, doubt that he will turn down the support, but you never know!

Week one day one

Recieved my acceptance form in the post when I got home last night. Very pleased. First training


run today. Nearly died. Wrote my will on my phone half way up a steep hill. Not good. Sister told me not to push it too hard but I would not listen. No reception for tracker application in such a remote part of Wales, started my blog though. Thinking of running for a charity that my Dad has been involed in setting up. They run a school in India called Bhimavaram life centre. If I can raise a grand it would be good. Meeting with Ruel tommorow night so will mention it to him and see what he says.
