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.

On sunday, I entered the Great South Run (again).

Last weekend we took part in the Clarendon Way Relay Marathon – this was a bit diffferent to the norm in that it was a mostly off road event, with lots of hills. The event is run as a marathon, a half marathon, and a relay marathon where four people each take on a leg [...]

Today was the new forest half marathon. a most enjoyable race and far smaller than either the great north run or the london marathon. The race course is, as one might expect, mostly through the new forest on roads which are either closed, or significantly marshalled by the local police and race officials.

4 days to go.

I may have a blister, but I can still have physio.

A nice circuit class followed by a 4.5 mile run. Is there a better start to Monday morning?

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.
