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’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 [...]
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… Canada Water to MortlakeFind more Runs in Canada Water, United Kingdom
Guess what I’m doing?

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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m), and Mount Snowdon (1,085m) – the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales. In twenty-four hours.
That’s 26 miles of hiking up and down mountains (a marathon), and 475 miles of driving.
I need your help, and you can help in two ways. Either come and pick me up from the foot of Mount Snowdon around 4pm on Sunday 11th August, and drive me back to London while I sleep, or else SPONSOR ME! If I raise £500 then Credit Suisse will match it, doubling your donation.
Here’s me at the end of last year’s Cally Challenge, just in case you think I don’t work for your money.

Pip, Laurie and I took a long weekend to visit Griff, Clare and Amelia in Sheringham, where Clare has been directing ‘How the Other Half Loves‘. Clare’s photos are here.
We then went to Toby and Andrea’s wedding on the Friday.
Saturday morning I got up bright and early (well, 11am) and ran [...]
I’m still training for my marathon.? My Sunday runs are up to 15 miles or so now.? If you know London, this is what a 15 mile loop looks like.? If you know Felixstowe, this is what a 15 mile loop looks like.? If you know Scotland, this is what a 26.4 mile stretch of [...]
