Tired but up earlyish. Good job too Will rang from the farm to ask if Phil could come in early as someone had rung in sick. So woke the spangler up and sent him off. Ace fun.
Ran up town and back in my useless way. Not very quick and forgot to start watch up after getting papers but still did the distance none-the-less.

Got up at crack of dawn, fell to sleep on sofa last night at 8pm so went bed early as usual. Worked on someone's grandson's laptop took all day to get it connecting to the internet - at 10pm ish I found out it was bloody Norton Internet Security so totally uninstalled it. Sort of tramped a five miles very slowly at 7pm - am full of cold at the minute. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/149293071

Started sorting someone laptop out. Went to Costco - no cheaper than anywhere else you know (excluding Harrods where everywhere else is less expensive.
Monday 6th - Friday 10th February 2012
Not much to report on. Busy as hell at work getting up early doing an hour going to work. Getting a bollocking for booking time off when there's training going on. Cancelling time off. Getting phoned up from work at 10:30 at night, working til 2:30am and not getting thanked for it - the usual really. Not bitter. Not a bit bitter. Wednesday slow run http://connect.garmin.com/activity/149293066
Sunday 5th February 2012
Well, yesterday was fun and games. Golf cancelled, John thought it too cold and I reckon he wasn't far wrong there. So went over Darley Dale with one of them battery booster things to get mums car going. It got it going but unfortunately not well enough. In my wisdom I thought take it for a spin and charge the battery up. It was too far gone unfortunately and gave up on me on Moor Lane. So left it there overnight, brought the battery back to sunny Ashbourne and got the beggar on charge. So to Sunday, 4" of snow overnight didn't look like a running day that's for sure.

So sledging in order I thought to start with, coupled with lots of snow-shifting; clearing the snow over at school and on the drive. Loads of fun, and then some. Then when it looked okay, drove over to Darley put the re-charged the battery in mums car and got the beggar back home. Cripes what a weekend. DCFC v Forest was supposed to be on telly but got postponed due to snow outside the stadium.

Knackered again but up just after 5pm. Finished off reading Stephen King's 'Bag of Bones' last night which was really good, ought to keep a record of what I'm reading. Also read Ford County Stories by Grisham in January - that was okily dokily too. Anyway, got the missus up and then a slow run up town and back. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/145837429
Sunday 29th January 2012
Tired as seems usual. Wanted to do a big run but could only manage a slow 9 miles.
Sorting out a BT Fon connection issue for brother-in-law Jimmy took a fair bit of time but turned out to be a weak receiver in his Laptop really. Said I'd have a look for a booster thing I've got somewhere.

Up at 4:00 ahead of the spangler. Took him to work as his moped is dicky. Played thirteen holes of golf then off to bed early. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/145837425
Friday 27th January 2012
Tired from Badminton last night. Played with Russell who is very good, probably 10 years younger than me. We beat some of the best whipper-snappers there so that was good. Anyway, up at 5am, an hour of good work then bit of a walk then off to work. All good.
Thursday 26th January 2012
Slow sort of a run round - I've got really slow this last month when I'd hoped to be getting better. Very worrying!
Wednesday 25th January 2012
Up at 5am - did a load of work - am liking this 5am thing get more done in an hour than I can do in a morning at work. Most useful. Woke missus up at 6:20 then off for a run up town and back. All good, bit slow but didn't stop the clock when went into paper shop. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/144453728
Walk after tea: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/144680721
Tuesday 24th January 2012
Got up at 5am. Have been upgrading computers and wanted a 500gb drive out of one of the old PCs. Which got done. Then went quick run up town and back in the blasted run.
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/144213323 Got home a bit late due to trouble with the Bullet at work as she is known to me. Had tea, went a walk for a couple of miles. All good.
Monday 23rd January 2012
Up at 5am, worked for an hour, then walked up town and back - still got a touch of stomach ache but am hoping to be sorted tomorrow. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/143978395
Went a bit of a walk after tea. Couple of mile looking up at the stars. Marvellous.
Got up early but couldn`t get going. Went a bit of a run with stomach ache before I even set off. not to mention feeling knackered. anyhoo 13.2 miles and probably getting on for three hours later I was jiggered. will post details monday. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/143978393

Tuesday 17th January 2012
Got up early and got out on the road not long after 6am. Did five miles and back for just before 7. Thought it felt a bit better but still only averaging 10:45 miles. It'll get better though. First night of alcohol free nights this week last night so that's one out the way! Also did a 2 mile walk round last night as well looking at the stars before watching the rather good Stargazing Live which had the last chap to walk on the moon on it and such a nice bloke he was too.
Monday 16th January 2012
Watched the excellent Sherlock til 10:30 so not up bright and breezy decided I walk up town and back after doing the big run yesterday. Didn't explain the two section approach to the run - I tried to split it into two halves so could stop and have a drink halfway - 500ml of finest lucozade sport to be precise. Getting old I am, you know!
Sunday 15th January 2012
Got up pretty early (mind you went to bed about 8pm as well). Damned Watch crashed and was stuck at 6:40 so had to go run without Garmin assistance so had to manually map out how far I'd gone. The intention was to do 12 miles but I was having to guesstimate and ended up coming a little under three quarters of a mile short having done 6.51 miles in part two of the run and 4.78 miles in part 1 of the run. I had a two section strategy in mind from the off - with home being the start/end point in both case I did the first five mile'ish run around town so it was street-lit not that it was really needed as it was well frostily moonlit this morning. Then did the nice run round Mappleton in early sunlight - was unbelievably cold but that's what it should be this time of year. No idea of pace - still rubbish so if was to put money on it I'd say I was averaging 11 minute miles which as keep saying is okay at my age and weight!

Friday 13th January 2012
Walked up town and back as was quate knackarred after badminton and 4.5 miles previous day.
Such is life
Thursday 12th January 2012
Struggled to get out of bed, but did so. 4.5 miles run this morning - slow but what the hell, 4.5 miles on a work day morning. That'll do for me damnit.
Wednesday 11th January 2012
Bloody tired again - went bed about 9pm up 5:45. Went run 6:10 ish I think and did 3.76 miles at about 10:45 pace which is a bit rubbish but at least it's more than have been doing.
Tuesday 10th January 2012
Did a wee bit of a run - 3.2 miles - pace was terrible but felt better than the computer says. Such is life. Day two of zero alcohol - also went bed at 9pm, knackered!
Monday 9th January 2012
Feeling it this morning so a mainly walk, little bit of running up town and back just so don't seize up completed. Anyway 2.7 miles covered and better than doing nowt at all. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/140247947
Walked over to Mr Parker's and back in the evening 2.2 miles clocked up. All good.
Was told I needed to do a ten miler at the weekend for doing Grindleford Gallop in March. Mission accomplished although very tired. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/140247942 10min 53s miles which was acceptable all things considered.

Saw Phil go first thing then back to bed. 15 holes at lunch time at 10 over, really good front nine at just four over finishing par, par, par, birdie which was solid but lost a bit of momentum on the back nine. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/140247937
Friday 6th January 2012
Went to bed dead early last night so got up super early this morning. Watched Phil go, there was a concern about Frost but it was okay so he went on his ped. Wind had dropped too. Going to be putting things right tomorrow morning - there's stuff blown over all over the spot at the moment. Did a just short of three mile run this morning which was okay - still not sure bout the new trainers maybe they need bedding in.
Thursday 5th January 2012
Up early watched Paul go in the howling gale bless im. Had to drop my parents off for a flight out of Manchester Airport so got into the office for just after 7am so I could leave early. No run - wasn't fit to with the wind and rain so wasn't too bothered about not running. Was knackered at the end of the day - went to bed about 8pm! Wierd, must be getting old!!!!
Wednesday 4th January 2012
Up early again, got some bits and bobs done. 3.5 mile super slow run, battery ran out on watch which was my fault - something to sort out later. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/139246223
Tuesday 3rd January 2012
Up early, saw Phil set off for work at 4:30, went back to bed, stayed there. Back is giving me hell today wityh the rain as well I decided to leave it.
Monday 2nd January 2012
Up with the lark at 5am got some bits done - could have gone a bigger run I suppose but didnae. Anyway, 3.33 is a magic number and that's the number of miles I did. So more than I generally ran last year but lordy were my legs tired? Am not sure bout the new shoes I have to say but will give them a few more miles before deciding whether they're not for running in.
Start as you mean to go on. Up a bit later than usual but not to worry, it's a Sunday. 6 miles - just under 11min/mile pace. Yes, it's slow but two factors to consider - a. alcohol over xmas and b. breaking in some new birthday present shoes - Saucony ProGrid Guide 2's - will see how get on with them I had some ProGrid Omnis a few years back and they were excellent so hope these will be similiar. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/138214022

Christmas 2011 to Saturday 31st December 2011
Christmas 2011
Apologies for the lack of updates - have been busy doing naff-all for too long. Not much to report over the Xmas break went a couple of walks but did no running nor any golf nor any cycling. Did a bit more decorating but that doesn't really count! Sorted out Itunes on my old pc so that we could load up the missus' Ipod which was interesting. Other than that have barely been out the house.
Was a sad Xmas really as first one without uncle Peter but there were many times where I thought of him (as always really) even on Christmas day there was a point where I took Paddy's hat folded it and stuck it in his coat pocket before hanging it up - that was what Uncle Peter always did. Sad without him, life goes on though.
Took Phil to see the new Sherlock Holmes film yesterday it was great although a bit long for me. So "Overt it's covert" was my favourite quote I think. A cracking yarn, t'was.
Friday 30th December 2011
44 tomorrow - how can that be? Anyway got up dead early to make sure Phil got off to work okay. Then back to bed for a bit, then up again, then went run at 6am for almost three miles at 10:40 pace which considering the weight and recent consumption of alcohol was acceptable. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/137410340

That's it another bloody year older. Not best pleased. Got up at 5am, did the bins, went out for a run at 6am - did five miles at 10:44 pace which I'm not unhappy with all things considered. It will get better. Can't believe how mild it is - 10 degrees first thing, it was ruddy freezing last year.

Tuesday 20th December 2011
Up dead early - 4:10am to set the bread maker off as we're a bit low on bread for the kids' sarnies. Back to bed for an hour and a bit. Up again at 5:30(!) to get oven on, made six bread rolls, good but not had none, mesen. Painted the stain removed bit of wall. We'll have to see how it works out, think it needs another coat really.
Anyway,after all that ran up town and back. A bit slow as knackered to start off with but that's acceptable.
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/135683642
Watch wasn't getting a satellite position for much of it so it could say anything when it's finally loaded up.
After a bit more painting mullarky I went for a two miles walk.

Up early again. Ajaxing the back door. It come up lovely! A bit of tweaking to the powerpoint for the it meeting and then fetchee papers and off to work. Got the room setup with young Liz, powerpoint ready to go, handouts at the ready. Power cut. Awesome. Hottailed it to the place of power (or with power) the warehouse. Not bad talked through the release plan for XpressWeigh. All good.
Got home, decided to use some polycell stain remover stuff on a bit of ink that Lucy may have left on the wall in the dining room (put about 20 coats of paint over it to no effect). Will see how it paints up tomorrow. Also finished off the back door it looks quate good now but needs a bit of silicon sealant to finish it off.
Sunday 18th December 2011
Mighty tired but not a problem. Got up mega early and got the hall painted through out. Did the wood about lunchtime. Not much else too report, hoovered up did some bits and bobs. All good.
