Still Running Just and Just a Bit of Cycling
Thanks for looking in.
Hi I'm a forty something dad of two,living in the deep and dark South West.
Finally after 5 rejects managed to get in 2009. But I did it I really did it I got around in 4h 8min and 22 secs and I did end up walking on a couple of occasions, from 22 mile. What a brilliant day and a truely overwhelming occasion.
I've now signed up for a bit of a new challenge on 09.06.11 I along with 9 others will be head off to John O'Groats with the aim to ride approx 900 miles in 9 days finishing at Lands End on Sat 18.06.11
I am hoping to use this opportunity to raise funds for Parkinson UK. The guy who has organised the trip's father and a family friend are both suffers. If you feel you would like to sponsor me on my jourmey then please see the link below.
I would of course value any hints or advice any of you bloggers have got.
Many thanks

Well it was back to work with a big bump with work this week, literally. I don't really pay much attention to my weight as a rule but I got a bit of a shock when I jumped on the scales on Monday morning to find I'd put on nearly 8 lbs, to much beer acco...

This has really hit home. A couple of girls I regularly run with including most of my long runs were over in Boston running the marathon yesterday. Fortunately both they and their partners are ok though they are totally bewildered as to why and of cours...
