21 days to go. So my Dopey training plan remains in the bin. Everyone else seems to have just finished their last Dopey sim and are ready to start tapering but I’ve decided to skip that (plus I have two races on the 2nd January so tapering isn’t really an option). I only did […]
Competition to win free entry into my v...
I’m hosting a virtual race with a difference for MS and you can win free a free entry into it. You and a friend could get you very own lovely sparkly running shoe medals pictured above designed by the lovely people at Running Imp. We just want to know your favourite medal of 2015. […]
100 races with some pretty amazing peopl...
I realised today that I had a race missing off my spreadsheet. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal but I was on race 99. The extra race means that the BTR Liverpool Santa dash last week was my 100th race (If your curious, 2011 = 1, 2013 = 5, 2014 = 36 and 2015 […]
Is Dopey attracting slower runners? Dope...
So, I’m bib number 21705 for Dopey. Bibs are in race time order (based on times that you provide, you actually have to prove that you can run that fast unlike UK races) so the lower the number the further forward you are. Because it’s Dopey and you’re doing 4 races you’re knocked back a […]
Dopey Training
My training for Dopey has been pretty rubbish lately. Good days are sparse and it’s getting harder to push myself on the bad days. Thankfully the two most recent races, Wesham and the Santa dash (more like a casual stroll with the best crazy people ever) have been good days. I tried to go to […]
Somebody to lean on
So today I realised that I no longer have any grip between my thumb and fingers on my right hand. It used to come and go but I realised today (when I once again failed to be able to give Giz the dog his eye drops) that it’s been quite a while since I’ve been […]
Race Report – Norton Priory 5 Miler
My running has been a bit non-existent recently. After my heart rate issues at Lisbon I took a week off and it was hard to get back into a routine again (Probably in part because we’re living in our bedroom whilst construction goes on downstairs and our house is full of dust which the doctors […]
1000 Miles!
Ran my 1000th mile yesterday. There was like fireworks and everything. Well, ok, the fireworks weren’t for me but it was still pretty cool to see them in all directions. I stopped at the top of Red Lane to watch the flashes of colour all over town and it was pretty cool, especially since it […]
More races added to 2016
It gets a bit scary when 2015 ain’t even over yet and already you have already entered 460.2 miles worth of races for 2016. The Race 1k in 2016 plan is coming together, especially now I just got a wait list spot to do Thunder Run 24 hour as a solo runner, exciting but […]
Disneyland Paris race packages ARE NOT s...
If like me you’ve been hearing that Disneyland packages are no longer available then fear not, I know that at least one provider has places left because they sent out an email advertising places this morning. Sports Tours International still have bookable places for all hotels online. I booked through them and had no issues […]
