Sorted myself out a club top today (finally). Wore it straight away during today’s session.
No immediate difference to my running ability (!) but I enjoyed flying the club colours.

Will try to sort out a pic of myself in it next time (except I need to find my camera in amongst the on going packing for the imminent house move).
I’d been looking for a 20 mile race in March to form part of my London Marathon training.
Just signed up to the Hillingdon AC Finchley 20. 4 x 5 mile laps around Ruislip, West London 11th March 2012. The reviews on Runner’s World seemed good enough so took the plunge & signed up.
This will be the first time I’ve ever run 20 miles. Let alone a 20 mile race. Guess I can’t lose - a guranteed personal best :)
I’ll be in wave 8 of this tomorrow. Bring it on :)
Burton snowboards have just launched these Star Wars youth boards. Limited time only.
How awesome are they? :)
I know, I know - not running related but I love snowboarding too.
Managed a 8 mile run in the end. Was tired throughout but glad I ran.
I’ll up the mileage on some of this week’s sessions to make up the shortage from today.
At least I’m starting to understand I can run when I’m tired. Bodes well for the London Marathon :)
Just got back from a friend’s wedding up in Preston. Needless to say a few drinkies were sunk yesterday night and I still have a sore head now.
I can’t see myself making it through the 13 mile run which is on the schedule for this weekend. Maybe I can get through 8 miles. Lets see…
I know my blog is a runner’s blog but if I could choose any sport it would be snowboarding. I love it. I love it more than dancing or running.
Nothing beats getting up early to get the first chairs and cut the first lines in newly fallen pow. Learning a new trick. Everyone’s BIG smiles as they ride down the hill all day long. The smell of clean mountain air. Its the best :)
Although I usually look forward to the arrival of winter. Not so this year. Unfortunately, I will not be going snowboarding this year. This will be the first winter since 02/03 that I’ve not snowboarded :(.
I live in London, Uk but my family live in Vancouver, Canada. I usually visit them every winter and throw in some time up at Whistler Blackcomb too. For various reasons I won’t be this winter, earliest trip to Van is likely to be summer 2012.
Am feeling sad already that I won’t get over there this winter. My snowboard will have to remain packed away. And the winter has only started…
Just did my club’s monthly 4 mile time trial. We have improvement folks :)
Only stopped once on the 1.5 mile uphill (stopped 5 times last month). Total time 35:12, overall quicker by 30 seconds. Yay me :)
Will keep working for further improvement.
