running, reading, nonsense.
I often get asked: what do you think about when you run? It’s an interesting question, but not one that I always have an answer for. It’s a difficult task remembering thought, so all that I’m certain about is that it can’t be the same thing every time. I’m no Eliud Kipchoge, I can’t completely… Continue reading Mind Games, Self-Talk, and Tolkien.
Welcome, let's talk about stuff. All the stuff that I've enjoyed this week, and maybe even sometimes some stuff that I haven't enjoyed quite so much. Some of it is new, some of it is old, all of it is stuff. That's the key. Stuff. Also the fact that it's Sunday. Let's not over-complicate things.… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 19/09
Since I began working in a health food shop I have had easy (read: discounted) access to a bunch of supplements, and some of them are sold as being beneficial for weight loss, muscle soreness, recovery, and energy. I never really bothered with them too much, not keen on the idea of becoming reliant on… Continue reading Supplementing, Inside/Outside, and a Magical Weekend.
And so another week trots on by as the year disappears, and boy is it disappearing. Strictly is on the telly, the leaves are changing colour, and oh what’s that? You’re saying that the shops have got Christmas bits in already? Yes of course they have. OF COURSE THEY HAVE. Every year I try not… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 15/09
Jump into the Groove I’ve managed to wrangle my routine around so nearly all of my running is currently being done first thing in the morning, and in doing that I seem to have tricked my brain into enjoying running even more than normal. I’m now looking forward to getting up, revving my engines and… Continue reading The Groove, Three Brothers, and a Great Run.
Welcome to a big fat Sunday Morning Stuff. Oh there’s a lot of stuff. Oh boy. Oh wow. Look at all this stuff just clogging up the week, isn’t it great? In fact there’s so much stuff I don’t even really have time to ramble on about the weather or politics or anything… Reading LOOK,… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 08/09
Long Sleeves I have just returned from a run and my goodness I wore short sleeves. Desperate times, I know. I believe this means that summer is officially ending, and autumn is officially falling. For the most part I’m a warm weather runner, I like the feel of the sun on my back as I… Continue reading Autumn, Olympians, and a Pristine Patagonian Marathon.
It’s Sunday morning…hey. What you up to? Plans for the day? Ah yeah that sounds nice. Me? Well I’ve got a long run to get in but otherwise, not a lot, thanks for asking, but first things first I’ve got to lay out all the stuff that’s been keeping my sanity in check this week…… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 01/09
The Slow Road. I’ve been injured plenty of times in my relatively short running career and the one consistent thing across every niggle, every strain and pain and snap, is the frustration. I’ve probably never been in as good shape as I had been before I over-did it a month ago and sent myself hurdling… Continue reading Recovering Slow, Thinking Fast, and a Ring of Fire.
I didn't intend this to be my first ever Sunday night stuff but I forgot to schedule this post which I spent last night writing and then I went to work and... Here we are. I think by posting every Thursday/Sunday I’m causing time to speed up. How can it be Sunday again? How it… Continue reading Sunday Night Stuff 25/08
