Run-down and Running: January 2013
http://rundownandrunning.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 January 2013. Q What’s the difference between the 1988 Winter Olympic Jamaican Bobsled team and me? A Nothing – both of us were stupid entering ourselves into competitions far out of our reach! Blistering, freezing weather conditions, icy winds, dangerous ground to run on and did I say it? To take a quote from this, one of my favourite films… "Cool Runnings" means "Peace Be The Journey.". Nothing peaceful about what I’m encountering though I can tell you. 8221; and then again almost immediatel...

Run-down and Running: All's well that ends well!
http://rundownandrunning.blogspot.com/2013/04/alls-well-that-ends-well.html
Tuesday, 23 April 2013. All's well that ends well! Well I did it. Unlike a good wine though, I clearly do not improve with age! Well, on the Friday night I had a MAJOR meltdown of mega proportions. I was trying to stretch my painful back out and felt my groin pulling and got really upset and nervous. Cue, mass hysteria (that was Jamie when he realised the implications!

Run-down and Running: October 2012
http://rundownandrunning.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 October 2012. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! I’ve thought long and hard the last few weeks since gaining my Marathon spot about what my training plan will be. Seeing as I’ve not actually BEEN running yet…thinking is all I have actually done. That and setting up a ‘JustGiving’ page and a Blog! Yet whilst I am not a ‘Marathon Runner’ per se… I have actually run the London Marathon before so can speak with some authority on the subject – for myself that is! What went right for me! Back then I ...

Run-down and Running: March 2013
http://rundownandrunning.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 March 2013. Things I learnt along the way. So, with just a mere matter of weeks to go now to the ‘BIG DAY’ itself I thought I’d share my thoughts on the last few months, the highs, the lows and the just plain down the road middles which are equally important! The Low’s…. The fact is I started training in a state of panic and then remained that way. I’d like to say nothing happened to cement that feeling, however that trip to the Osteopath last year wasn’t going to be my last! They’ve had...

http://rundownandrunning.blogspot.com/2013/04/its-final-countdown.html
Thursday, 18 April 2013. It’s the Final Countdown. It’s the Final Countdown…. Yes I really do expect you to all sing/hum that in your head now whilst reading my latest musings. So here we are with. 8216;M-Day’ on the horizon… and in spite of recent events leaving me heavily subdued I still remain a mixture of nerves and excitement!
