Welcome to Jamaica Have a Nice Day

Back from my 2 week family holiday to Jamaica, and getting back into life. The title is one of my favorite jokes of all time about a man having 'WENDY' tattooed on his knob and is obviously far too risque for a family friendly blog ;) Mind you, as I said in the past - nobody reads this shit! Amazingly, the day before I went on me hollybobs I won my first running race for 14 years !!! Admittedly it was only a Parkrun but boy it felt good to cross the line first !!! And as a bonus ball with Chris Ritchie is too cool to hand in his bar code I'm ranked #2 in the history of Peterborough Parkrun ;) Alright, Chris has gone faster and there's only been 2 but still, number 2 eh !!

Back into the groove

So the dust has settled on Zurich. Think I'm starting to bore people with with it all now! Really happy to have done it, didn't go to plan but a race that lasts 12 hours is never likely to. Feel good about toughing it out but now I'm getting itchy feet to get some good performances in before the end of the year. All things being equal at the very worst I should be going into winter in fairly decent shape. Anyone who trains with me will know that Frostbite season I am generally in horrendous condition by the season's opener in Priory Park, apart from an 11th place in 2010 I'm usually outside top 30, then in top 10 by March. This year I'm hoping to start the winter in decent shape and just get stronger rather than look to get some speed from somewhere which is how it normally goes.
