Looking back on day 77 (which I can do, since I’m posting this 4 days afterwards on day 81) I could easily say that I didn’t do any training because my training guide said not to and that it was bad to run two days in a row at any time, but particularly at the… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 65

Since I’m still in limbo on whether my heart is actually up to (a) running a marathon, or (b) doing anything at all, I decided to assume that it was going to be fine, but not push my look. SO, I did what any sensible man in my position would do. I bought these…. I… [Continue Reading]

Still sick. This is rubbish!! No way I could go to the gym today, was too busy blowing my nose to even think about it. However, the badminton team couldn’t find anyone to sub for me at the last minute, so I had to go out to Lucan and play 2 badminton matches. We lost… [Continue Reading]

I felt pretty good about Monday evening’s training until I got into work today and found out that Tracy does 40 minutes on the cross trainer, as opposed to my rubbish 20 minutes. Now I have to start doing a lot more time there, i can’t let Tracy beat me!! For the record, I did… [Continue Reading]

I haven’t done any since Thursday (it’s now Sunday) and the exercise on Thursday was rubbish, so really it has been Wednesday since I’ve done any meaningful training/exercise. So, at 6 O’Clock on a Sunday evening I toddled… [Continue Reading]

Disaster. Unmitigated, total and utter disaster. I could just leave it there to be honest. Today’s training was a badminton match. It was against an Aer Lingus team, and we lost. Again. And worse, I played horrifically badly. Like awful. Each match I play a mens doubles and a mixed doubles. Both matches went to… [Continue Reading]
Laziness Is…..

I don’t know why, but one of the things I hate doing more than anything else in the domestic (as in housework) world, is changing the bin bag. I hate it. But I think laziness must be what I am doing now, which is that when the bin bag needs to be changed, instead of… [Continue Reading]

Dosed up to my eyeballs on Rubex for Vitamin C and all sorts of other goood shit to try and shift this bloody cold, and (said he looking for sympathy) having had a rubbish night sleep in the spare room because I couldn’t stop coughing, I headed to the squash courts for a run-around this… [Continue Reading]
