Well a lovely 8 mile run this morning. Not quick but pleasant and two of those miles I switched onto the pebble beach to mix things up a little. Since this time last week @endomondo tells me i’ve covered 32.11 miles which [..]

Its been almost a week since my last blog entry and that not so strangely coincides with things at home getting immensely busy with house moving related activities. We’ve already accomplished lots but have more than enough left to do to last [..]

Yesterday was a good day. No day job work and apart from dealing with a really random photo sale out of the blue it was just me and Robyn chillaxing. We went for a cycle ride and ended up in starbucks (not [..]

Managed to sleep in today and not get out for a run until much later. The Sun has also returned to Weybiza this morning and it was hot hot hot along the seafront. The summer season is in full flow here and [..]

10 mile yay! and the stubble cometh yay!

I wish I could fly…

…but I can’t! so I’ll just have to settle for a wet walk in the rain followed by a bus ride to Dorchester. Pretty miserable morning on the weather front but trying to stay chipper. I’m really looking forward to a run [..]

a slow and hard 4 mile run this morning with plenty of walking in between. My body reminding me constantly that I’m no athlete (yet). Lovely morning to be out at the beach though. I’m now sat outside WHsmith waiting to buy [..]

Quick trip to Dorchester today so Chloe could treat herself to haircut before her Birthday tomorrow. A great opportunity for Robyn to spend some time in the park perfecting her monkey routine. This girl was born to climb.
