Loch Ness 10k - a late, late, late update
Sun Jan 20 14:56:13 PST 2008
Better late than never…. The last few months have been a blur as I’ve finished off my dissertation to complete my politics MA degree. Now that’s handed in and finished for good, I’m planning to get back into regular blogging.

Catch-up
Mon Oct 01 14:54:55 PDT 2007
Last week was a mixed bag of mostly steady running, interrupted in parts by a particularly busy period at work. I really need to get at least part of my week’s running done in the morning or at lunch. Leaving them all until the evening is just inviting something to get in the way, which [...]

6 miles
Wed Sep 19 16:28:32 PDT 2007
Distance: 6 miles
An easy six miles tonight. I had originally planned a semi-long run, but other things got in the way, which is one of the drawbacks of evening running. Not much to report. Felt comfortable, not fast, and not slow.

Stirling 10k - 45:27
Sun Sep 16 12:39:36 PDT 2007
Today I ran the Stirling 10k and ended up with a very disappointing 45:27. I’ve been suffering with a cold for the last few days, but even then to be a full 3 minutes down on my time from a year ago is a bit disheartening. The weather was awful for spectators (pouring rain) but [...]
