Browsing the great run website last night and I found my results which you can view on the Nike+ website here, I placed 20948th! running it in 1:14 - an awfull time. I had only started running 5 weeks before the race and could hardly even run for 5 minutes when I started so not [...]
Today was my first long run since I’ve been back running, I did an old run that I was using when I trained for the Manchester Run - 8km with an downhill/uphill part around the half way mark.
I ran it in 56 mins with a couple of 1-2 min walk breaks which isn’t exactly fast [...]
Today I put in a 6km run and synced my iPod with Nike+ and they informed me I have now logged 250km of distance ran with them now, you can see the proof here. I actually passed that a while ago as I have not used my iPod on a few occasions including the 10km [...]

The only worry is after the run I was getting numbness my left foot - left over from the Sciattica, will take it easy tommorow, [...]
I wish I had been better sooner as I would’ve liked to take part in the Nike+ 10K race, its a live race around wembley stadium in London with live music as you go from Moby and others. There is also a worldwide virtual race with everyone running 10k and syncing their runs on 31st [...]
So I’ve decided I’d like to run the London Marathon in 2009 and will be charting my training and weight loss progress here. Its more a record for me to see how I’m doing and could be of help to other people thinking of doing the same or even just taking up running as a [...]
