I hope this is how all you guys and girls out there doing marathon training are feeling 😊. Not because things are bad, no I didn't mean it like that.
I hope you're feeling like yo...
All thoughts and opinions true at the time of writing - on the day.
I've not even read through - there could be stuff in here that I regret or now feel differently about .
Running streaks are earned, and worked hard for. Every credit to everyone still ...
That Buddy Run was a perfect start to the year. Everything about it just filled me up with exactly what I need to go into 2017 with the sleeves rolled up and ready to have a go.
That's all I'm ever really doing with running anyway, having a go, entering...
Not so much a statement as a wish I send to each and every one of you. I hope it is, for you, for me, and for everyone we hold dear.
Of course there will be ups and downs and challenges, we're expecting some of them. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed ...
Ok if I finish on time and publish on time someone's gonna be thinking "but the New Year's not begun yet?"
It has.
Believe me it has.
There is only one kind of resolution that sticks - and it's the one you've already started!
I started Boxing Day.

Well its been spoken of many a time.
"You should write a book" you have said, well some of you have if not all.
I have tried 'Buzzers, goodness me I have tried . But the way my brain operates suits blog writing, not books. I lose the thread of my own th...
Ok, maybe not from Len. But "ten" doesn't really rhyme with Robert, Rob, Bobert, or Bert, nor Robbie or Bobby or Bertie or Bob. Not Barber, or Barbsie, or Barbie or Barbs - although Barbie did have her Ken. I guess that rhymes with "ten" - but it's Len ...
How much can a person really say though about what is essentially just putting one foot infront of the other?
Well as it turns out - loads 😊.
It is usually a great time of year this here on Realbuzz. October time when everybody gets their news about whe...
The very first thing I have to say, is a huge, massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to every single one of you for your kindness and support. Whether it's been on here, via Facebook or face to face when we've met, I have been quite overwhelmed by your responses...
There.
I said it.
The single most positive thing I’ve ever done in my life. The thing that has brought me the greatest sense of achievement. The thing that has given confidence where previously there was none. The thing that brought peaceful sleep wher...
Erddig parkrun and another chance to run it 😊.
In the fantasy world I have allowed myself to believe in I was going to rock up today and despite the roughness of the week just gone, despite another old injury flare up, despite my last minute arrival, I ...
So I'll see if I can keep it about the running.
Tricky in light of the way I am feeling at the moment.
I am Cancerian. Our star sign is symbolised by the crab and we are ruled by the moon. Whether you're big on astrology or not, for most people, if you...
Snowdonia Marathon weekend.
For the last four years, its been one of the highlights of my year.
Ought to be an easy one to write about then eh?
So many positive experiences - old friendships revitalised, new freindships made, unbelievably good surprises...
Long 'un this...
Erddig parkrun was the venue.
Friends from Wrexham AC and parkrun volunteers, the stars.
Yet again they have made my day 😊.
A rushed start. Road closures imposing upon us the scenic route whether we wanted it or not. On this day we'd ...
I started writing this blog post on Wednesday. It would have presented a partial and distorted truth.
I started over Saturday night, and had pretty much written all that I wanted to say. Just some finishing touches to add, and I added them this morning....
Day after dayAlone on a hillThe man with the foolish grin...
Or perhaps I could have called this blog "what a difference a day makes".
So yesterday I made my return to running. Parkrun. 5k.
Return, yes. Triumphant? No!!
Don't get me wrong, it was great...
Hmmm, Blur...
I was in a bit of one of them at the finish 😃😃.
Parklife.
Parkrun!
We know what makes it special don't we?!
All the people, so many people, and they all go hand in hand, hand in hand through their, parkrun, dum, de dum de dum de dum....
So...
Strange.
I really thought this moment would feel like good news.
I though it would be glorious.

So the re-build begins.
Lovely surprise in work Tuesday. Phone call.

I'm still figuring out how I really feel about my parkrun outing this morning, so this might turn out a load of gobbledygook, or it just might turn into something of use.
I always try to write something that (1) I might actually enjoy reading myself if ...
I am a man with 17 official marathons under my belt. I am a man who runs up and down mountains for fun. I am a man who can knock out 100 miles on a bike. I am a man who loves a challenge and seeks to walk the tightrope between failure and success...

Monday it was when the thought solidified in my mind.
My knee is not as restrictive as it was. I'm progressively able to do more. I'm off work. If I can get to the mountain, maybe, just maybe, I can go up the mountain too.
On Sunday I walked over our h...
What is happening on Realbuzz? Where have all the blogs gone?
I've got my excuse and I'm sticking to it, I'm injured so I've got no running to write about. It is definitely running that provides me with the inspiration to write.
Ok, and walking sometim...
