Do you consider yourself interesting? I only ask, because I think that everyone is interesting. I think one of the reasons we watch (or watched, in my case) Big Brother is because we’re interested in how other people act, and what other people do. We like comparing them to ourselves, and thinking how we’re like… [Continue Reading]

It’s Friday, and the weekend landed!! Woop Woop. So, back down to Marlay Park for another walk. Ok, now at this stage I can appreciate the point that I might be taking the walking thing a bit far, since all I seem to be doing at the moment is walking. Again, I put it to… [Continue Reading]

More sitting about and doing nothing today! God damn injury, enough already, go away. I got a bit depressed about the whole thing today. It’s a horrible helpless feeling to be sitting on your hole and waiting to be able to start training again, especially when, like me, you’re only at the very start of… [Continue Reading]

Being injured sucks balls. I don’t know whether it’s a bit stupid of me, but I’m not going to the doctor about the shin splints issues. I’m sure that that’s what it is, so I’m a bit reluctant to pay €65 to be told that. Also, I’ve two friends who are physicos and a sister… [Continue Reading]

Another (scheduled) day off from training today. I’ve decided to take the recommended day off for the first week, but from next week I’m throwing in a swim on Monday, some cross training on Wendesday and some weights on Friday. SO, today was a day off and needed too because my left ankle was still… [Continue Reading]

If you’ve been following my posts at all you’ll probably have read that I was sent for an ECG when I decided to run the marathon just to check everything was ok and to get base levels for my training purposes. Went to Vincent’s, got that done, everyone is happy. Then I got a message… [Continue Reading]
Blogging takes a lot of time

I am starting to see why some people are professional bloggers and literally spend all day doing just their blog. I mean, I’m as quick a typist as most and it still takes an age to get from deciding you’re goign to post something to it actually being up on your site, and that’s taking… [Continue Reading]

It works!! This blog works. Tonight, I didn’t want to go to the gym. I put it off all day. I went to bed for 3 and a half hours in the middle of the afternoon, I avoided anything remotely connected to fitness, health and well being. Then I thought about leaving a day blank… [Continue Reading]

A plaugue on the house of everyone who works at GoDaddy.com Granted, this is not entirely their fault, but someone has to take the rap here, and it’s sure as shit not going to be me. I decided I wanted to start this blog the same day that I decided that I was running the… [Continue Reading]
