Last week one of my Twitter friends shared a link with me. It was the news that Caballo Blanco (Micah True) had gone missing whilst out running. I was saddened to read the news, but, deep down, believed that it was just people over reacting. The man has a reputation of not conforming, and of being a loner, after all.

I knew before Brass Monkey that I had a problem with my hip, or to give it the correct name, my Iliac Crest. It had been bothering me whenever I tried to run or even walk over 6 miles. I seemed to be okay on shorter distances as long as I made sure I did a crossed ankle style stretch after my run. Of course the headwind (I...

What can I say? I am getting rather used to hearing or reading these words in connection with ballots for races. I’m starting to get a little paranoid truth be told! After all, I wouldn’t have entered them if I hadn’t wanted to take part.

It was something I needed to do to get my head back in the right place. It struck me whilst out running that physical fitness isn’t all that comes to bear when running,...

A few weeks ago you may recall I was wibbling about taking part in a 10k with a hill. Whilst the hill was part of the wibble, the 6 miles was also a contributing factor, having only covered between 2 and 4 miles on my recent local runs.
Of course, I listened to my friends who told me I could do it, and now a few weeks later am in...

I’ve had a bit of an epiphany in my running this past couple of weeks that I certainly wasn’t expecting. I have started to really enjoy the act of running, rather than just the finishing running. I knew it was bound to happen, how else could there be so many enthusiastic and happy runners out there, I just...
