Help Needed Staying on Plan
Ok! Time for a new training plan. I’ve been slowly and slowly becoming more lazy over the last few weeks and it’s time to mix things up a little with a new plan. I’ve been running a set three times a week [..]
A New Dawn, A New Day
Posted in Running on May 3rd, 2013 / No Comments
I’ve been trying to get back on track after a tough couple of weeks of next to no exercise, illness and poor diet. It’s hard going to try and be good all the time. This week started well with less calories consumed, [..]
My Dirty Little Secret
Posted in Running on May 1st, 2013 / No Comments
I have a dirty little secret. I have an addiction. It sometimes keeps me awake at night and distracts me during the day. I am a running shoe addict. It started off small, my first pair, they felt so comfortable. It was [..]
Beauty of the Irrational
I came across this video today on vimeo and thought it worth sharing. Ryan Sandes is obviously as far from me as you can get in terms of running performance and achievements, he looks insanely fit, motivated and looks like he spends [..]
Running: The Idiot’s Guide (PART I)
Posted in Running on October 13th, 2012 / 6 Comments
I’ve now been running for 1 year and 8 months. In that time I’ve run nearly 1,500 miles (that’s almost Dublin to Rome according to google maps). That to most of my fellow runners isn’t a mind blowing feat but for those [..]
Little Disco Shoot
Chloe got stuck at work for a wee bit longer than we’d hoped today. I guess you can’t hurry pregnant women. I killed the time we spent waiting for her return by taking a few quick frames of Robyn. Nothing fancy but [..]
Running Wild
Posted in Running on October 2nd, 2012 / No Comments
I Just thought I’d take the opportunity to update the blog with how things are going on the running front. As usual there is some good and some bad (life in balance huh?). I’ll cover the bad first. The bad is my [..]
Some Pictures
Posted in Photography on September 17th, 2012 / 2 Comments
I’ve been taking lots of photo’s recently and haven’t been very good at sharing them. I’m desperately trying to get my creative brain working again so that I don’t lose it. That can happen right? if you don’t use it…you lose it? [..]
Disco’s Daring Birthday Dash (Event Report)
Well last Saturday as planned I set out to complete my first marathon distance run. A tough 26.2 mile course that would see me climb close to a couple of thousand feet in terms of elevation and also included some 8 miles of [..]
DDBD Live Tracking
Posted in Running on August 31st, 2012 / No Comments
Tomorrow I attempt my first marathon distance run. Thankfully I’m not doing it alone. I have a good number of friends and family joining me for bits of the run (about 20 peeps if all goes well). I’m not sure if I’ll [..]
Taking A Good Look At Myself
Posted in Photography on August 21st, 2012 / 1 Comment
Wow! after a photowalk and a chat with my good friend @daz_rgr last week I realised it’s been nearly 4 years since I finished my 365 days self portrait project over at flickr. 4 years! Time flies huh? Life has changed dramatically [..]
Disco Birthday Bash (Finishing Line Party)
On the 1st September I’ll be one day into my 33rd year on this planet (yeegads! I still feel 15). I’m celebrating by running a marathon (as life is far too short to not give it a go). It’s a casual affair [..]
Worried Man…Has Plan
Posted in Running on July 24th, 2012 / 2 Comments
Well plans are now in motion, the metaphorical digital gauntlet has been metaphorically thrown down and in about 5 weeks time I’ll be embarking on my first stab at running a marathon (a real one – not a metaphor). OK so I’m [..]
Running Pics
I re-caught the taking photos whilst out on the run bug again recently (especially on longer runs). I post most of them to instagr.am and twitter/facebook but I think I’ll post the odd favourite here to pad out my current lack of [..]
Podgoat: The Lost Archive
Well some readers of this blog may just about remember when me and my good virtual buddies Simon and Pete used to record a little known but much loved (by about 3 of you) podcast called Podgoat. Sadly due to inactivity, several [..]
Disco’s Daring Birthday Dash
Posted in Running on June 18th, 2012 / 8 Comments
I had quite a fantastic idea today (no sniggering at the back)! It was rather inspired by the activities at the weekend on the Liberty Loco. My birthday is fast approaching and as some of you know I’ve spent a good part [..]
