Lunchtime Eight Miler
Ran a steady eight miles during my lunch hour today. I’m still feeling a bit sluggish for some reason and am wondering if last week’s 20 miler took more out of me than I first thought. Last week was also my highest mileage of the year so far – just over 58 miles – and [...]
Saturday Steady Run
Despite taking a rare day off from running yesterday, I could still feel Thursday’s 20 miler in my legs, so today was quite a slog in the wind and not as easy a run as I’d hoped for. I did manage to duck under an average 7 minute mile pace, but to be honest it [...]
Lunchtime Seven Miler
What a pleasant day for a lunchtime run – the temperature touching 60°F with a clear, blue sky. The only negative was the 16mph wind, which is oh so typical for this time of year. Good practice for Shamrock though I guess! I headed out the door with the aim of running four to six [...]
Seven In The Sun
Where is this crazy February weather coming from? High 60′s tonight and expected temperatures in the mid-70′s for the next couple of days! Not that I’m complaining of course… Tonight’s run was definitely going to be an easy mid-distance run with no heroics and no foolish race against the clock like yesterday. Saturday’s race and [...]
Early Afternoon 5 Miler

The temperature was a balmy 53°F, the sun was shining and there was hardly any wind at all – perfect for a nice easy recovery run after yesterday’s half marathon effort! My right [...]
East Beach Norfolk Half Marathon
I can’t believe we’re already into the month of February. Is it just me who’s thinking “What happened to January?” I also can’t believe the Norfolk Half Marathon is my fifth race in the first 32 days of 2008! If I wind the clock back 12 months, I was probably in the best shape of [...]
