HWMBO and I headed north to go and stay with friends for the weekend so that I could go and recce the last section of the Viking Way on Saturday near Grantham.  As we arrived slightly early we drove to Rutland and followed the final 5ish miles to Oakham to...

A glorious week so far, I have treated myself to a few lie-ins, well, I say lie-ins I still get up at the usual time and make coffee, but I go back to bed for a bit longer after HWMBO has gone to work - bliss. On Monday I was lucky...

This week has been extremely relaxing on the running front. Monday I did an easy relaxed short run from the house, everything felt fine except for a slight niggle on my left knee where I had fallen during my Viking Way Recce.  Tuesday I took the dogs to the forest...

WOW, what an awesome weekend. HWMBO and I set the alarm for 5.30am and left the house at 6, arriving in Farnham at 7.30 in preparation for the 2 day Pilgrims Challenge. Very early considering I wasn't running until 10am, but HWMBO was on crewing duty for the weekend.  The temperature...

This week has been so relaxed and chilled, a complete contrast to usual weeks but rather nice. Little runs have been the order of the day, I was only supposed to do two 5k runs but as I'm doing Febulous I have to fit in 7, so have done 5 leaving...
