It's all running's fault!
Carrots and Gauntlets: This year I aim to get a sub 20 minute 5k, be that Parkrun or otherwise. I aim to get a 43minute 10K. At Half Marathon my pb is 1hr 35 so I would like to see that drop to 1hr 30.With the full Marathon, my target for Manchester next spring is sub 3hr 30. My target for Snowdon, this October, is sub 4. And at Chester a few weeks before Snowdon, the target is to get round without stopping!! I would also like to try my hand at a trail marathon or Ultra, I've signed up for Hadrian's Wall next June...

Hello all, so there I was, hot and sweaty, puffing and panting, running towards the love of my life, music pumping in my ears, we shared a smile but in a flash we had passed and it was only then that I realised her hand was raised for a high five as we ...
Hello again all you buzzing stars. In a week that brought such sadness at the loss of two heroes of mine, Bowie and Rickman, I managed to enjoy my running and it was actually good just to get out in the cold bracing weather and run! The training progra...

Last year a few of us ran the Snowdon Marathon. It was a beautiful day, sunny, a joy to run, and an evening of celebration to remember. As I hobbled back to our B+B with Jenny, we agreed that we would be back...

Last year I was so determined to run York that I refused to let a little opperation stop me (afterall I had done a LOT of training!) On a cold, misty October morning I had one of the best and most enjoyable runs of my life. Partly due, I'm sure, to how ...
So we are off to York today with the Marathon and the 10 mile races tomorrow. I am so looking forward to it. There is a tracker so just to let anyone interested in following 'blobs' know, My number is 1396 and Jenny's in the 10 mile is 11447.
