It’s been my best running weekend ever, certainly in terms of personal bests. Two in two days. On Saturday I headed to Hove Park to take part in parkrun, as I do most Saturday mornings. If you haven’t heard of parkrun, head over to parkrun.org.uk. It’s a free 5k timed run for everyone. You register on the website, print out ...

November 11th is our wedding anniversary and also my birthday. We managed to palm the children off on Victoria’s mum for a night and spent it at the Thistle Hotel in Brighton. We spent most of our evening and morning in the pool and sauna! Very nice. The Thistle is right next to the registry office where we married last ...

In addition to that I continue to try and improve my parkrun PB. I have managed ...

Yesterday I ran 5km in 21:36. Last month it was taking me 24 minutes to do the same distance. I have also ...

However, I am about to get a degree and I’ve decided to try and get a graduate job…whatever that is. I am registering with various recruitment agencies and scouring The Guardian for jobs. I have ...

Many people have Sunday as a lazy stay at home day, but there’s nothing for me to stay at home for. I decide I can’t sit moping about all day and so I get up and go for a run!! I have this new app on my iPhone which tracks my movement over GPS and I want to try it ...
