So I'm an accountant by trade. The end of this month sees the self assessment deadline, and a lot of money going into the taxman's coffers. After Tuesday's impromptu but enjoyable rep session it got me thinking. Self assessment. What can I do in my running to shake things up, and who does it affect? … Continue reading Self assessment, being inspired and being me.

Mojo found, and the media tart strikes.
Another post today, imagine that. Mojo well and truly found today. Went along to club tonight even though session cancelled due to ice. About 30 others did the same. We found a non icy bit of road and had an impromptu 8 x 2mins with 1 min recovery session. Loved it. Pushed myself and not … Continue reading Mojo found, and the media tart strikes.
2015 – Bring it on.
Onwards and upwards, and I got quite excited this week when MAC released their proposed races for the 2015 Club Championship. This is the first time I have been eligible so I’d really like to give it a go. It got me thinking of my racing over the last 20 odd years. 1992 – 2010 … Continue reading 2015 – Bring it on.
Drawing a line
Firstly my last blog entry took a bit of a kicking. Although perhaps different in tone it still reflects, in my opinion, the ups and downs of where I’m at. I am still 100% annoyed that I have paid for physio treatment and haven’t received the plan a week and a half on and the … Continue reading Drawing a line
Disappointments
Edited and added 18th January 2015: I always encourage feedback and this post has seen my most negative so far 😉 To make clear, I don't carry any baggage, I tried to be honest and write semi humorously on things that have happened, I am not a professional writer and won't always manage to get … Continue reading Disappointments
Tubby last run and lessons learned

Did two 5 milers on Friday and Monday, then today decided to do a 10 miler. There were no legs there. Empty, a … Continue reading Tubby last run and lessons learned
Ancient History – My first title and the Sheepskin of Justice.
Today would have been my Dad's 74th Birthday but sadly he is no longer with us. It got me thinking back to when I was young and in my first spell of running and he would always come to the races. And wasn't slow in telling me where I had went wrong. Which was running … Continue reading Ancient History – My first title and the Sheepskin of Justice.
Mistletoe and whine – the xmas handicap

History part 12 – Cross in the Country
I used to be good at Cross Country. Loved it when I was young. Danced up hills. I decided to do my first country season in 25 years and thought I would be not bad at it. Jeezo let me tell you right now how wrong I was. These guys are a different breed. My … Continue reading History part 12 – Cross in the Country
History Part 11 – Random things and a year of prizes
Before I hit you with the humbling leveller that was cross country a few random things that helps flesh out me and what I do. The prizes sadly aren't for actually running, but annoying people with words. Since my mojo rebirth in North Wales I have been a member of the Running Bug website.
