July 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
It has been an entertaining few weeks. The gentle run that I mentioned in my last diary update was made more interesting by thick fog, but I managed to stay more or less on track. Since then I have competed in the Frome half marathon which was an amazing event with lots of support and [...]
Swimming tip – Observe faster swimmers
July 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This swimming tip sounds obvious, but occasionally find time to slow down and watch the faster swimmers around you. What are they doing different to you, other than going faster of course?

Update 27th July: New pictures added from the official event photographers, the Frome Wessex Camera Club. “Just water for me, thanks.” At least that was my stance at 6pm on Saturday night…By 8pm it became: “Just one glass” and by 11pm we were opening a second bottle of a very nice Rioja.

Out in the fog!
July 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I popped out to do a few miles today, as I haven’t exercised in 7 days due to having a cold. I was wary to start with as I didn’t want to over do it, but it soon became apparent that the cold has gone and I can start training again. In the past I’ve [...]

Wow, it’s been another epic couple of weeks. Since my last update we’ve finished moving into our new house and most of my exercise seems to have come from lifting boxes! I haven’t been able to do much of my usual training due to carrying a cold for the last few days, but I did manage [...]
