Another six and a bit this morning. All going well. Got to go to Glasgow tomorrow. Went to Badminton with Lucy, a right old session - played a mini-tournament with the whipper snappers - won one (a 10 year old) but got hammered by two teenagers, although played a bit better against one of them than the other! Went to Janet's group - lost two pounds this week. Getting there slowly. Five weeks til marathon I think - 20 miles on Sunday planned.
Wednesday 17th March 2010
Watched part 2 of the Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man thing last night - good inspiring stuff. Ended up doing about 7.5 miles this morning due to one thing and another (don't ask).
Tuesday 16th March 2010
Reconnaisance duty; up at 5:30 then out on road for another 6 and a bit miles. It's all going on now, going to lose half a stone by marathon day watch this space! Did another 8 miles on the Giant FCR1 again at night. All good!
Monday 15th Evening Update
Gave Kathryn the pics from the Gallop at the weekend and she put em into photoshop and did some wizardry to make them into a panoramic composite - click on pic below, scroll left and right a bit and see if you can see the joins - there's four or five pics in the composite below!
Went out on the FCR1 and did another 8 miles again tonight. Was a wee bit dark but was lit up like a Xmas Tree so no worries.

Watched Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man part 1 on Iplayer as recommended by Mrs Bullimore. Very good and it inspired me to a mid-distance run this morning - not clocked it yet but I reckon a good 7 miles at a good (i.e. no stops) pace. Pleased so far.
Mothering Sunday 14th March 2010
Got up before dawn broke to take PJ to work for 5:20. Did a load of jobs - hoovering, car-washing, tidying garden up ahead of first cut in a few weeks etc.etc. Took missus out for lunch at the Nags Head, Hulland - very good carvery. Then when got back had a ride out on the FCR1 for about eight miles, walk up golf course and few swings with an 8 iron for practice. Remembered something rom a David Blair video my Dad had that was quite useful so am going to be doing some drills during the week see if I can get my golf improving now my handicap has been altered to a useful 18!
