Welcome to my world

I live in London with my two crazy cats, Phil and Grant. This is my online training journal as I will be running the British London 10km in July, and I hope you enjoy your visit!

  The blog started out as a training diary for me to keep track of how I was doing, how I felt after runs and so on.

  But there’s so much more I want to say. For example, what’s worth seeing at the cinema, what DVDs are worth buying and so on. I used to enjoy keeping my old blog going, so from now I’ve expanded the scope of this one to cover all of this and more.

  If you want to know I’m getting on with my training for the London 10km, just click the Training category on the left.

  First up … my foot’s feeling a lot better today. The pain has just about gone, so hopefully I’ll be able to do a bit of running while I’m out in Spain. One of my colleagues has been out there for a few days and has already told me there’s a beautiful park near the hotel which has a running track going round the outside of it. Makes me ask myself why there’s not one of those in east London … hopefully it’s be a legacy of the Olympics.

  Today mostly comprises me doing loads of washing, packing, making a big list of things to remember to pack tonight - it’s a bit of a packing pain having to take work, casual and gym stuff all at once). And then I’ve got an early start in the morning, flight’s at 11:50 so I’ll need to be gone from my house by 9 to drive up to Stansted (fortunately that’s not too far from me and at that time of the morning it should be quiet). Only thing I’m completely paranoid about tonight is the clocks going forward, so I’ll probably set 400 alarm clocks all over the place to make sure I get up at the right time and in the right timezone.
