Hi, I’m Ryan Phillips, DJ on Spin1038 in Dublin Ireland. But I probably contacted most of the people reading this myself, so you guys already know that right? For anyone who doesn’t you can find out more about me by clicking on the About Me tab on the top right of this page. The main purpose of the blog is as a motivational tool to help me train for the Dublin City Marathon 2010, which I intend to run for charity next year. I have done no meaningful exercise in 13 years, and trying this might kill me. So keep checking back to see if I’m dead or alive. If I’m alive, then... [Read the full story]

Marathon Training – Day 93
January 29, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Arms are killing me today. Stupid swimming, that’s the last time I’ll don one of those little hats and subject myself to such toture, I suspect water-boarding would be about the only more tortuous thing involving water that you could be subjected to. Anyway, after swimming yesterday I was scheduled to hit the cross trainer and the weights again today. My arms weren’t able for the weights, so I just did the cross trainer for half an hour. Is it just me or does anyone else find it quite difficult to keep any level of fitness up? About 3 weeks ago I was doing 40 minutes on the cross... [Read the full story]

Hoover Bag Trauma
January 25, 2010 · 1 Comment
Today, I spent far longer than any normal man should trying to track down Hoover Bags for the Argos Value Range hoover that came with the apartment. I hadn’t changed or emptied the bag on it in the year since we moved in, which I didn’t think was that big a deal, but apparently it is. Anyway, this hoover is no longer sold by Argos, but I went down anyway and looked for one that looked like or comparable to the one we had and bought the bags for that one. They were the wrong bags. So, I went on the interweb and looked for bags for the Argos CJ 718 Hoover. Found some on amazon.co.uk,... [Read the full story]

I’m still off running because of the dodgy legs/shin splints so today I went for a swim in the pool in Trinity College. Usually I try to go at a time when there will be fewer people in the pool then I stay in the casual swimming part (rather than the lanes) because I’m not a great swimmer. Today, the casual...
