One Man, Two Dogs, No Idea
Only a short, three mile walk this morning. Nice and easy Water Orton loop. On my return, after a quick freshen up, I sit down and take stock of what I’ve achieved this year thus far. In just two weeks, I have … Walked 91 Miles Lost 2kg Returned to parkrun I also feel fitter …
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’ve been doing a spot of blog maintenance involving merging a previous blog (re-running) into this one. After making one big blog, I started to read some of the older posts and come across one from November 2017 … So, it appears that I took a tumble back in November 2017 landing on my right …
The usual two miles into work to start the day. It was only when I got to work and got changed into my work clothes that I noticed … … when you have numerous pairs of socks marked L and R it is only a matter of time before they don’t quite get paired up …

Had a bit of a lie-in but was still up, breakfasted and ready to face the world before half ten ! I crossed the, not as busy as it usually is, M6 before making my way through Water Orton passing a few horses, but not before giving them a stroke. Leaving the horses behind, my …
In one of my previous lives as a runner, I used to drag myself out of bed on a Saturday morning, head for Kingsbury Waterpark (other parks are available) and run three miles around the park with a few hundred like minded souls. Apparently, the emphasis is longer on actually running the course and people …
Morning Again, I took the bus into Birmingham, alighting at Saltley a mile or so from work. From the bus stop, I made my way to the Grand Union canal which I followed towards Bordesley, climbing five locks in the process. I arrived at work just as my watch buzzed for two miles. Afternoon After …
