Bits and Pieces

Only four miles on the cards today and that was knocked off before work. A steady stroll around the streets to Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst and back home in time for a shower and shave before work. I had to take the car as I had a bit of running around to do after work, hence the early morning outing. One...

Big Finish

Now before you get excited, this post is not about muscular Sven from Helsinki. Amazingly, I DID wake up at 03:30, breakfasted, threw together a few provisions and was in the car heading for Sutton Park by 04:04hrs. Instead of parking in a side street, as planned, I was able to drive into the park and leave the car in...

Sutton parkrun – take two

Saturday morning so how about a parkrun ? My training schedule says twelve miles for today but a parkrun is only 3.1. A bit of maths reveals that I’ll have to walk a further nine miles at some point today. At 06:13, I left the car and proceeded to Sutton Park for a circuit of said park BEFORE parkrun at...

Jan 30 – Blogging

Not totally happy with the blogging platform that I’ve used for years (on and off) I have been experimenting with a few alternatives. One of the most popular is WordPress but when using the free, bundled hosting, certain things don’t work, namely my endomondo totals which I want to be displayed on the top of the sidebar. However, by hosting...

Jan 25 – UTMB and the Tame Valley Canal

Looking for something inspirational, I found this on YouTube. It’s a video from a chap running the 2018 CCC, the little brother of the UTMB (LINK). Shot on a 360 degree GoPro on a selfie stick. Cleverly, the stick has been edited out. Cracking video. Back in the real world, what was to be a rest day, started with a...

Jan 24 – Birthday

Firstly, it’s not my Birthday but that of my fifteen year old grand-daughter who we shall call K. But more of that later. After consultation with the other half, I (we) have decided that I will not be partaking of the Equinox 24 event in October. Reasons include … Lack of crew Uncertainty over my knee Lack of training Instead,...

Jan 23 – Ugghhh

Feeling really rough today. Dragged myself into work including a slow mile and a bit from the bus – stopping off at Tesco for cough syrup, cold & flu relief tablets and Lockets. On the plus side, I have received an email confirming my entry into the Charnwood Marathon towards the end of March. Included with the email was the...

Jan 20 – Crew Required

After all the kerfuffle over the parkrun timing, today would be a little less eventful. Today’s walk would be in the evening as I had a few chores to complete including visiting the pet shop and checking in with my mother. It was at Mom’s that I met my niece who just happens to own a camper van. Why is...

Jan 19 – Parkrun Tourist

I was planning on walking the ‘usual’ Kingsbury parkrun today but decided, last night, to play away at a different parkrun. The next nearest, unvisited, parkrun is Sutton Park. Luckily, the cold symptoms had lessened so I decided to chance a stroll around the park. Reading the instructions about parking on the Sutton Parkrun site (LINK) I noticed that the...

Jan 12 – ParkRUN ?

Change of plan. Due to last minute family commitments, I had to cancel the planned walk around Hints with the Heart of England group of the LDWA. Instead, I decided to partake of the parkrun which with a bit of a warm up could be stretched to five miles. My parkrun of choice was Kingsbury. I arrived a little after...
