Long Run

Spring Bank holiday is here and it is pouring down, however lasy night was quite clear and dry, which gave me the opportunity to bash out a fairly long run. 7.5 miles in 1 hour 26 mins. Certainly not exactly quick but, but OK. Felt fine all the way round, and managed to speed up at the end. My longest none stop run for nearly 2 years - certainly from being a 60 year old! - Lost a kilo too. The trick now is to keep the weight off.






Did some more work in the shed, preparing the the archive store and will break down all the old papers int plastic pockets in some sort of order. There is some much material there, keep me busy for years to come!

Going to rationalise this blog and try and make it keep up with some of the other blogs. Why have I got Spanish on my tweet feed?

Running again, in a sort of Gingerbread way

Completed the "Gingerbread round " in the Lake district, those are pictures from it.  Got to admit that this was seriously taxing. My uphill muscles stopped working followed by my downhill muscles. However got some good pix.

Cranking out runs regularly. Very slow but I have managed a 5 miler. Didn't do the Fellsman though.  The next major run on the itinery is the "White Bear" way followed by the "Rossy way in a day"

Been Busy

Quite a few runs, Cycled to work at least half a dozen times and feel moderately OK

Peelers

Lots of Photos, Successful run

Beacon Bash

Did the Beacon Bash, muddiest that I have seen anywhere! However seemed to go OK, Managed to keep with fairly hardened walkers. Did I mention there was MUD!

I think it had been delivered. Photos to follow!

Ran Last Night

Shoulder hurt, Back ache and dreading work - so why was the run a good one?

Maybe it was the Zatopek effect or just angry?

Stuff going on!

Well as far as cycling is going on not a lot. I did lose a cleat screw from the bottom of my right shoe. Pretty dangerous because if I couldn't get my foot out I would fall in the road instead of on the pavement! It seems that A friend of mine did this in a spinning class and had to have the bike turned over to remove his shoe. My guess an exaggeration.

Folding at home is going well. The LazylikeSunday team  is folding proteins like mad. This rig has folded on both cores 147 working units, the whole team has scored 218 units, Thanks Kyle! and the rest of the Forte Media people.
Got over my bad back at the bottom, I now have a bad shoulder. Oh well the paracetamol seems to keep it away!

Back in harness!

Harness being the operative word. More like a back harness. Its gone again. Not so much gone, as very much obviously still here throbbing. I do like my body bits to be invisible. The new year started fine 5 runs, gradually going a little farther each time. Then the pain. Managed a cycle ride on the Sunday, Growing pain still. Off work. Hopefully back on Thursday. Ride baby ride on Monday.
