April goal: 24:40 (smashed at 24:26!) March best time: 24:48 25/04 – 24:37 (PB) (full results) Good run today! 11 seconds off my PB so pretty chuffed with that. Good strong run with Kian again through the bush and especially along the front. That is definitely helping my times! So thinking now about next month’s goal, also keeping in mind I’ll probably only have one or two races in May as I’m away. Lets aim for 24:15 in May I think. Or perhaps what I’ll do is run with Jean and…
The trip is off. Don’t even ask. Please. I really do not want to speak about it, I’m devastated to be missing this. Well it’s just about time to get on a plane again. It’s been awhile…but this time it’s just a visit. I promise to be back soon 🙂 So with buying a plot…wanting to build… and all those small things in life… I decided that unless I want to live in a tent for the next five years I best trim down my grandiose plans of a three…
So was thinking about Easter weekend in Cornwall and in particularly the Good Friday walk which is a fantastic tradition in Mousehole. It stems from the Spanish raid of 1595 (Wikipedia article on the raid). If I remember the story correctly, the women of the village would dress up and carry sticks so that they looked like soldiers caring muskets, then patrol the cliffs between Lamorna and Mousehole to give the Spanish the impression that the village was well defended. (If I got the story wrong please correct me in…
THIS is on the bucket list. In fact, I’m keeping an eye out for some whales and a flat day with clean water right here at home…one day… soon I hope.
March goal: 24:55 Feb best time: 25:09 28/03 – 25:34 (full results) Quite a bit slower than last week and I thought I was going to be close to 25 flat 🙁 Hey ho. Was a good run and a decent time so happy days 🙂 21/03 – 24:48 (full results) SUB 25min! Wow. Thanks to Benj for all the runs we been doing and to Henry on Saturday for helping with some motivation up the hill to the finish! Was a great morning for running and having done a strong…
March already…in fact second week of March… ouch. I still got a post in my draft folder that I need to post that was originally titled “January pics and news”… now reads..” Jan & Feb pics and news”…. oh dear you can see where that is going! So after a lovely day out today and a really nice weekend I though I really can’t not post some pics just because I not had time write up Jan and Feb… so here you go! Today I spent a lovely day out…
Whoop whoop. First dive since December. Tough conditions with the wind chopping things up good and proper but it was clean and warm so happy days. Took this fella (Blue fish) at about 8-10m on a bit of reef in the middle of the bay at KB. Not huge but got two great fillets off him 🙂 Saw a beauty of about 4kg+ on the same spot but with the wind it was really difficult to stay on the reef and I lost the mark before I saw it again……
Here you go, February results! Bit late in getting this started as I missed the first run of the month and then it’s been crazy busy since then. Feb goal: 25:30 – Smashed at 25:09 January best time: 25:40 28/02 – 25:09 (full results) I knew I was in for trouble when Benj announced to the whole parkrun that I wanted to do a sub 25 before the end of Feb. I must have one to many beers when I made that comment! Anyway, what was done was done. But…
