• A Break in My Running

  Posted on Wednesday September 16th, 2009 at 13:56 in flu, running, jogging, tired, rest, cold, ill, fatigue, sniffle, 7 - run fat boy run (running)

  I haven’t run for 9 days now, I ran Monday of last week and although it wasn’t a bad run I think it was a mistake, you see for a few days before it I’d had a bit of a sniffle and struggled with my breathing when running, but I felt a little bet...

• Little Steps to Fitness and Health

  Posted on Sunday September 6th, 2009 at 04:54 in fitness, health, training, inspirational, running, jogging, mantra, simplicity, 7 - run fat boy run (running)

  Each run I get under my belt without killing myself, even the little one milers, no matter how slow, are one step closer to fitness and health, a more svelte me and perhaps even a longer life.   Looking back at my running over this past week it...

  Posted on Monday August 24th, 2009 at 15:45 in running, jogging, 1 mile, 5 - run fat boy run (my running training)

  Tonight I went out for my first run since the fun run on the 15th August, just over a week ago, I had a break after the fun run due to a sore toe (I’d taken the skin off) and then decided to take the rest of the week off and essentially start again...

  The last time I posted here on my blog was 4 days ago, this is partly because I’ve not really been in the mood and also due to the fact that nothing much has happened. At work I have been moved onto a new project, I was on Astute boat 1, I’ve now...

  This is the week of the fun run and I just wanted to try and get a few runs in and a little mileage under my belt before the big day, it wasn’t a bad week, the fun run itself has a separate entry in this blog so there is a link to it at [...]...

  Ok so its Thursday evening and its been a bit of a weary week for me, since Monday night I’ve been struggling with sleeping (again) and have been tired all week, today as well as being very tired I’ve also felt a little off, I’ve had a bit of a...

  Posted on Wednesday July 29th, 2009 at 12:09 in running, jogging, tired, run fat boy run, 1 mile, sleep loss

  After doing my first mile and a half run on Monday I had to drop back to a single mile lap tonight, I’m pretty sure I know why, I barely slept at all last night and today at work I’ve been tired out all day, really weary, and my run felt just the...

• Mile and a Half done

  Posted on Monday July 27th, 2009 at 16:52 in running, jogging, run fatboy run, run fat boy run, 1.5 mile

  Yesterday I posted rather negatively, it may have sounded like I was being negative about my jogging in general but I wasn’t, I was only being negative about my feelings toward my chances of getting enough miles in before the fun run. As far as my ...

  Since deciding to do and signing on for the St Mary’s Hospice 5k Hospice Heroes Fun Run which takes place on Saturday 15th August I have started jogging in a bid to be ready for it, I want to be able to jog the whole 5k (3.1 miles) without walking....

• Run for Saturday 25th July 2009

  Posted on Saturday July 25th, 2009 at 17:09 in running, jogging, run fat boy run, 1 mile

  For tonight’s run I was hoping to do my first 1.5 mile but I found tonight really hard, there just didn’t seem to be any air, I struggled getting my breath quite quickly and for the last 1/4 mile or so I felt like throwing up, but I kept running ...

  Posted on Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 at 15:53 in running, jogging, run fat boy run, 1 mile

  Just got back from my run for this evening, I did my mile lap again, my legs felt a little tired setting out but once again got better as they loosened up, my breathing got a little laboured but that isn’t nearly as bad as it was in my earlier jogs...

• 1 Mile, No Walking

  Posted on Monday July 20th, 2009 at 17:08 in running, jogging, run fat boy run, 1 mile

  I am so pleased, in fact I feel quite hyper about this, of course it could be the Endorphin rush one gets from exercise but I think its also a feeling of achievement. When I went for my mile jog tonight my legs felt heavy to begin with but as they wa...

• Jog – Friday 17th July 2009

  Posted on Friday July 17th, 2009 at 17:09 in running, jogging, run fat boy run, 1 mile

  I did my 1 mile jog a little earlier this evening, as soon as I set off my legs felt like lead weights and on the longest straight on the route I was jogging against a head wind, it felt like quite a strong wind, I’m guessing it wasn’t but it fel...

• A Slow One

  Posted on Tuesday July 14th, 2009 at 16:49 in running, jogging, mile, run fat boy run

  There was a slight change in plan in the jogging department on Friday, I was to continue the “Run Fat Boy Run” program with a jog when I got home from work but while walking home I could feel a bit of a twinge in my right calf. Since then of cour...

  I actually slept like a comatose thing last night after having had my first jog, I slept so well that apparently I slept through thunder, lightning and torrential rain, I myself heard a slight rumble in the distance and then went into a state of susp...

• I’m Doing a Fun Run

  Posted on Tuesday June 30th, 2009 at 15:42 in jogging, hospice, fun run, st mary's, uncategorized general diary

  I must be bloody barmy, there was a time when I used to do a lot of running, 5 or 6 days a week every week, I ran in some road races (10 miles was my favourite distance, not too long and not too short and fast), I would train with some pretty long tr...
