Leg is getting better!

My leg is getting a bit better at last, I can run again!

Title:
Victoria Park Lunchtime Run

Marathon, and on, and on…

And now a short message for my sponsors – thank you very much!  I hit my £1,500 target with £500 from Credit Suisse, £184 from a cake sale (thanks, bakers!),  more from a work jeans day, and around £800 on the justgiving sites.  In return I burnt 4,700 calories, lost 2cm in height, and ran 40,000 [...]

Run Ran

I finished my marathon, in 4h 31m 35s.  It was hot hot hot!  I was a little disappointed with my time – I was aiming for 4h 20m, but I knew it was a bad omen when I was overtaken by a yellow sperm after 15 minutes.

A few pictures then, and my results here.  I was [...]

Tin Shaking

I’m running in the 2009 London Marathon – because it seemed like a good idea at the time.  I’m running with a team from work for the Spinal Injuries Association.  We’ve each committed to raise £1,500 for the charity.

I ran the Loch Ness Marathon in 2007 in 4h:36m, and I’m hoping to improve on that.  There [...]

Barn’s Barnes Run

I’m running again. Today I ran from our home to Venetia and Dave’s house in Mortlake.  That’s over 14 miles along the Thames Path.  Unfortunately it took me nearly three hours…

Gorilla Run – RAN!

I ran the Great Gorilla Run 2008, as promised, in my full gorilla suit, and a pink feather boa.

At the end I got a hug and a medal from Bill Oddie, a fearless task as I kept my head and hands on all the way round, and it was a hot sunny Saturday morning in the [...]

Great Gorillas!

I’m running 7 km through Central London on Saturday 27 September.  7 km isn’t a long distance (for me!) so I (and 800 other runners) will be dressed in full gorilla suits.

I’m aiming to raise £500 – if I reach this magic number Credit Suisse will match it, so your donation will be doubled.

Come [...]

Marathon Ran

On October 7th 2007, my brother-in-law Jo & I ran the Loch Ness Marathon. We both finished, he in 4:15:24 (866/1427), and I in 4:36:05 (1096/1427).
Pip & Ginny ran the River Ness 10K at the same time, and Griff, Clare, Amy and Skye came up to babysit, as did my parents in their motorhome.

Marathon Coming Up!

It’s my marathon in one week – Sunday 7th October.? I did my last 12 miles of training run this morning, and my broken toes have magically got better, so maybe they weren’t broken after all…

Wish me luck (and also some for brother-in-law Jo, who’s also doing it, although he doesn’t need as much as [...]

Three Peaks Challenge – August 10th/11th

After my pleasant walking holiday in Scotland last year (the Caledonian Challenge, a double-marathon along the West Highland Way in twenty-four hours), and as a warm up for this October’s Loch Ness Marathon, I’ve signed up at the last minute for the Three Peaks Challenge, in aid of the Anthony Nolan Trust.

I’m attempting to climb Ben [...]
