Life is still proving to be quite challenging, as I am sure it is for all of us. I still have limited time but am now able to get away for a ...

Like many of us I am sure. I was soooo disappointed when the London Marathon was initially postponed until October 2020 and then again till 2021.  I have a charity place with ...

Hey Runsters! Long time, no speak. Turbulent times in the running world (as I’m sure you’re aware) and the London Marathon is no longer happening for us fun runners. I ...

Do something for charity, they said.  Do it by yourself or with your family.  And do it on the weekend of the cancelled London Marathon.  Just incorporate a two and a six ...

Ok, with reference to the title, perhaps one of the good things to come out of the craziness of these last few months is the discovery of "Breaking Bad". I'd heard ...

I haven't posted here in ages, because it was not actually posting, which was very irritating. I have been carrying on getting my exercise, though. To be honest, I have been ...

Now then.  How are we all?  Still alive, are we?  We are all doing fine here in Grayshott.  Now that I no longer work, my daily routine hasn’t been altered too ...
