Asics: Space Shoes
I have a lot of time for the products of Japanese shoe company Asics; I wore out two pairs of their shoes when training for the London Marathon and they managed to keep my feet in fairly good shape throughout.
Doing The London Marathon
In April 2004 we ran the 2004 Flora London Marathon to rise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre (MSRC). This is what happened on the day.
Sponsorship Milestone
Wow. Thanks everyone, we went through £3000 today. Nothing else says it. Just, thanks. 3 days to go.
Sponsorship Continues
This is the last week so we’re able to concentrate on resting , and fundraising. The football is proving popular on ebay, and more and more people are sponsoring us, which is great news for the MSRC!
A Last Pressure Point Workout
I may have a blister, but I can still have physio.
Foot Rest
In honour of my glorious evil blister I am laid low and not doing any running.
The Hard Training is Over
It’s a Saturday and I’m not running.
Start Monday Here
A nice circuit class followed by a 4.5 mile run. Is there a better start to Monday morning?
Rest Days
Rest days are enjoyable because they include enforced normality.
Busy Day
A busy day! I combined my hour of circuits with a 4.5 mile run in order to catch up a little after my slack day yesterday.
Hobbling Again
Way back in early Dec 2003, we joined Portsmouth Joggers, this was on the back of our application to the marathon and the received wizdom it’s sensible to start training when you apply (or earlier) because when you find out that you’ve got in, it’s already past the “last-chance to do it without massive pain” …
Precautionary Rest (Due to Illness)
An enforced/precautionary rest day.
A Rest Day
A rest day. I need it. Even my fingers are groggy today.
updated snowboarding injury count
One bruise has now come up on my arm (probably a tree that I passed close by last week) but nothing to stop me running.
snowboarding
No major injuries to report and a week of intensive legwork in deep powder as Courchevel had the first big snow of the season.
