running, reading, nonsense.
It's Halloween week. For the most part I really don't care about that, sorry, but as you may already know I am using it as an excuse to expand my horror knowledge by getting in to some classic genre fiction. Yesterday I went cult, today I'm going full blown mainstream blockbuster horror writing. It could… Continue reading The Shining
The end of October looms large, November in-waiting like a grim vanguard of the Christmas season, here all too soon...but there is nothing to be done. Nothing. Halloween hardly stems the tide of Xmas nonsense but once it is gone nothing stands in the way of St Nicholas. BUT October and November are often good… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 27/10

Yet, October isn’t quite over and done with yet though, and if I'm being brutally honest with my cowardly self, it wasn't even that cold. If I can’t stomach that level of… Continue reading Running Cold, Chicago Inspired, and a Grand Prix.

No work today so I can actually be here on a Sunday Morning and put down my thoughts on all of this stuff that I’ve seen and read and heard and played this week.

Rather than spend any more time marinating in that disappointment, it is time for me to move on and plan what… Continue reading Going Longer, The Impossible, and Embracing the Dark.
This was to be my first half marathon, and for that reason alone I thought it would be impossible to be disappointed as long as I got to the end and crossed that finish line, but it wasn’t to be. I never started. In fact, no one did. For reasons beyond the control of the… Continue reading Race Report: The Great Eastern Run
Chances are if you’re reading this I’m running the Great Eastern Run, so you best be giving me your best wishes or else there’ll be trouble. Whilst I’m out dying, how about you take a look at all the stuff that’s been keeping my sanity in check this week, or should I say the last… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 13/10
Photo by Olia Nayda on Unsplash So here we are in the week of the Great Eastern Run, my first ever half marathon and the biggest event of my running career so far. The weather is looking wet, my immune system is feeling shattered, but overall I think I’m about as ready as I’ll ever be. I know… Continue reading Race Preparations, Tokyo, and the Great Eastern Run.
Photo by Adi Goldstein on Unsplash The Great Eastern run is finally locked in. I knew that I could delay my registration for the event until pretty late in the calendar, and after spending a month side-lined in my training I wasn’t sure if I definitely wanted to participate. But that was stupid. I’ve run in the National… Continue reading Booked In, Doha, and a Coastal Running Carnival.
