With only about 7 weeks ’till the North Tyneside 10k, it’s time for Shana to start doing some longer runs. So this morning we did 6 miles - with three walk & drink stops. See? I’m not as heartless as everyone says.

When we arrived, the car park was rather fuller than usual, but where was the mob of triathletes waiting to […]

On Saturday the pistes were all really crunchy - a slight thaw on Friday night had been followed by a re-freeze. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be a problem . . . but there were also a whole bunch of day-tripping skiers around, going at it like lunatics. So VonSmallHaussen and I just did a couple of […]
