Whilst I am sitting down and watching my favourite american TV series at the moment, I thought I would update you with this week’s progress. Let’s just say it’s been an adventurous and historical week. The historical part is the moving on from my old job and preparing to start a fresh in my new role 10am on Monday. You may wonder how on earth I cope with such a big event. New environment, new people, new circumstances, and the unknown! That could well be another blog for another time. Read more »

I thought I’d take an opportunity during my lunch break (whilst tucking into my cream of tomato soup from a well known brand) to give you a peek in to yesterdays run. It will be the first of many running landmarks in the coming weeks. 15 miles planned for next weekend. 18 miles the weekend after that. Then who knows! I do have to bare in mind I haven’t done bad catching up from the 4 or 5 weeks lost during the Christmas period. Scary thoughts went through my head when I saw a girl I knew through a non-profile organisation a couple years back posted on facebook that she did 20 miles this weekend. Ouch! I definately won’t be able to keep up with her target of sub-4 hours. I’d literally have to shave off another 1 minute per mile to achieve that sort of time. Maybe next year! Read more »

The Return
It’s certainly been a long time since I’ve written anything on here. That’s crap by anyone standards, awful by mine. Whilst listening to one of my favourite music mixes ever made (produced by the fantastic duo that is Jack Beats), my thoughts pin down to the next 50 days. Why so? I’m going to be slogging my way around the 26 mile singular assault course which is the London Marathon! (if you did not already know) Read more »

It’s Friday morning on the 7.30 commuter train and still have I not found a happy commuter! Maybe that’s the British way. Keep yourself to yourself when necessary. Anyway, this at least gives me time to concentrate on writing my updates to you. Especially when the harsh winter is (supposedly) arriving. Read more »

Well, well, well! The website has been updated, things tweaked and a brand new section has arrived. 6 months of blood, sweat and tears ahead to complete the challenge which is 26.2 miles of continuous running. I’m thinking now; what the hell am I doing!? Watching my brother complete the 26.2 miles made me think about my life challenges. If I’ve got through everything that’s been chucked at me, why couldn’t I set myself one of the ultimate challenges neurotypical people are insane enough to put themselves through? Read more »
