Cold, wet, slightly hungover from a late nighter and only wearing shorts and a t-shirt (and trainers) - that was me at 8.00am this morning.

Managed to run 10 miles :-D

Happy Birthday JogBlog. Hope everyone has fun this weekend, only Monday at work then it's Xmas and 2 days off!

Car looking...

Looking for cars is cr*p - still haven't found one :-/

Been out running though :-D

Off to London tomorrow for a few days, so expect some Canary Wharf miles.

October total = 31 miles

Last day...

I think i've had 2-3 days off because of my ankle this month, so no 100% run a day :-(

Managed a longer 10 miles today :-)

I'm going to try and post more next month (sorry for the short updates - seems to be busy busy busy)

See ya in October - and btw, it's only 16 days tomorrow till we fly to Florida :-D YA!

May the force be with you

Day 123, originally uploaded by jogger164.

‘You will get square eyes if you watch too much TV’ – remember when your parents used to give you this warning when you were little. Well they were right! My eyes felt like they were going to pop yesterday after ‘StarWarsAthon’. We headed out over to our friends house and got there for 8.00am. Watched Episode 1 – no worries. But I have to confess we couldn’t do all 6 films in 1 go. By 8.30pm we had only watched 1,2,3 and 4. We threw the towel in, and decided that we would save Empire and Jedi for another session. All in all though it was a great day, the small person loved it.

There’s lots of little things that I hadn’t noticed before – like Anakin’s shadow that looked like Vader on the side of the house on tatooine – the deathstar plans spinning on the wall and the biggest one – that Anakin didn’t have a father but was formed from the force and metachlorines – cool.

Seeing as all I did was watch TV yesterday I got up a 6.30am this morning and went for a 10 mile run.

Now on with the Sunday chores…

August Mileage Total = 52

Juneathon™ Day 30 - It's all over

:-)

Time for a well earned rest all round. Got my butt out of bed for one last time this Juneathon™ and for a change it was raining. Plodded around for a 10 miler. So all in all I've done 144miles this month :-D the most I've ever run in a month.

Well who won then? I know I didn't I had a few days off ill - who exercised everyday in June then? post a comment and let the world know who is the winner of the grand Juneathon™ no prize.

What's next? Well Bear and Jogblog are on about a Lardathon in July... I'm up for it, just need the rules on what we are meant to do.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 144

Juneathon™ Day 24

I Strapped my arm up tighter than a gimp at a bondage party this morning and went out for a run.

Not being able to put in the miles has been doing my head in, so I made the most of it and managed a very very wet 10 miles.

Typing with one hand is doing my head in - sorry for not commenting that much at the moment, as soon as I get my trained monkey to help with my keyboard short cuts I promise to be back to my old self.

Have a good rest of the weekend.

PS - I haven't had a drink for ages..eeeeeek!

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 116

Flower (Day 80)

Not sure what the flower in the picture is but we have a load of them growing outside the bathroom at the moment (not indoors I hasten to add).

Well Day 2 of the Juneathon dawned and I dragged myself out of the pit for a cheeky early morning run. I had a really nice run, the weather was cool with a low mist hanging about which soaked me through.

The locals were friendly as well - a couple of horses came running over to say hi as I headed up a dirt track :-) so I had to stop and chat with them for a while.

Managed to do 10 miles.

We are getting ready to go and see Pirates 3 now (well apart from Mrs JoggerBlogger who is really feeling ill and wants us out the house for the day).

Hope everyone has a great weekend - and hope the run goes well tomorrow JogBlog :-)

Swimming against the tide.

Just got in from last night’s party and sleepover - great night out J

Managed to get out after ice skating yesterday and put in 10 miles.

I packed my running gear in-case I would manage to get out this morning, and I did. We went to bed about 2.00pm (no all nighter after all) and I got up about 8.30 - 9.00 and went for a run. We had stopped over at a friends place in Derby so I ran through the city centre and out for a 9 mile loop.

The interesting thing was that when I started out they were in the process of setting up a 10k race. When I lopped the circuit to head for home lots of runners were on the other side of the road, heading out the other way all looking at me as if I was lost. It reminded me of that scence in planes, trains and automobiles when the dude shouts at John Candy “You’re going the wrong way”.

Time for a quick blog - then Salsa, I’m going to need a sleeeeppppppp soon.

Sunday run o'clock

Not one to be able to ever lay-in (because of the small person) I got my butt out of bed as early as possible and headed out for my Sunday run. True to my blog yesterday I put in 10 miles :-)

Off to buy some more tat to fill the house with at the local carboot sale now.
