Wilmslow Half Marathon 2008
30/03/08 19:04
Today was the day... conditions were perfect, it's a
shame I wasn't! I went to a friends 30th Birthday
party on Friday night and spent all of yesterday with
a HUGE hangover. Still didn't feel good when lining
up for the race this morning. Having said that... I
was only 2mins slower than my PB which I ran earlier
in the month at Liverpool. I'm convinced I would have
hit another PB if I had prepared properly.
It was a nice race to run, very rural... lot's of winding country lanes, the race itself was a little congested to start with, Wilmslow is more popular than I had expected, it took about 2mins or so just to reach the start line from the gun. I think I'd like to enter this race again next year and would fully recommend it to anyone.
Race time: 1:41:36
Gun Time: 1:44:00 approx

Easter break
24/03/08 22:16
Just spent a fantastic weekend in the Lakes with the family,
swimming, cycling and building snowmen. After
eating all that easter chocolate today's run was
as expected... it felt heavy, I've got a bit of
a cough which I hope I can shake off before this
weekends half marathon at Wilmslow.
Today's run: 5.87miles (47:30)

3 Bags of Sugar
19/03/08 20:38
Another 10k run home from work. Interestingly... I
decided to weigh my back-pack. 6.5lbs! or 3 bags of
sugar!
Try running 10k with 3 bags of sugar shoved in your pockets

We all fall down!
17/03/08 20:20
Felt good today after a few weeks of feeling like
crap. All was well when running my usual 10k from
work when I
suddenly stubbed my toe on a raised flag! In
true commando style I found myself doing a
forward roll... my back-pack acted like aerobic
matt and cushioned my fall, I was quickly back
on my feet and continued running. Apart from
feeling like a prize banana no injuries were
sustained.
Moan moan moan moan moan...

I haven't written here for while because I've had a
pretty poor month, I just didn't want to bore you all
with my moans. My wisdom teeth have been playing up
causing an abscess... I've had trouble with pain in
my left heel and I'm just generally feeling run down,
tired, bloated and unfit. I have a half marathon on
the 30th and hoped to get another PB but now I think
I'll just give myself a nice easy run and collect the
medal afterwards
A spot of bother
09/03/08 21:15
Something strange happened to me yesterday, I'm now
off the antibiotics so I thought I'd ease myself back
to running with a 5m jog. I felt slightly unfit but
otherwise good, but as soon as I stopped... my skin
became itchy and I had suddenly developed raised
spots all over my body, exactly like mosquito bites!
After a little research I've put it down to a mild
case of Cholinergic
Urticaria, which can be caused by a
combination of antibiotics & exercise.
I'm having such a sh*t week with aches & pains. Back to my regular 10k runs from work tomorrow.

Pace, Distance & Time Calculator
06/03/08 11:55
Just added a calculator
to help with my workouts, useful for calculating
your pace when given a distance and time. It can
also calculate distance or time when given the
other variables.
Yes I know it's a bit geeky, but what does a web designer do now he can't run due to antibiotics! I hope you find it useful.

No running for me
04/03/08 18:05
I've been awake all night with a face the size of a
football, luckily the swelling had gone down in the
morning but I've just been diagnosed with having an
abscess due to a dodgy wisdom tooth. I'm now on a
course of antibiotics and have been advised not to
run.... gutted
I've only got about 3 weeks to go for the Wilmslow Half Marathon, this is gonna be interesting.

Liverpool Half Marathon
02/03/08 14:33
Today is a good day, my unofficial time came in at
around 1hr 39min, which totally knocks the socks off
my previous PB of 1hr 58min (Great North Run 2007).
I couldn't have wished for a better time, I'm so pleased... completely surprised myself. In fact, almost too good to be true... I'll post my official chip time once it's announced.
