My diary of going from absolute zero fitness to half ironman. The trials and tribulations of my training up to my first race in 2009 and then post race my continuing battle to remain fit.
If you find you're always thinking about getting fit but never quite starting and you could be inspired by seeing that anyone can do it . Then I think you'll find that inspiration here.

5K with a dead weight
Tried a quick 5K with Millie the dog and her new wonder leash. I had to almost drag her the whole way round. I think he might be carrying an injury as she is normally pretty fast. Weight down at 74.8KG. Its ben as high as 78KG in the last 2 weeks...some wild swings.
Off to Millport today for a long weekend. Cycling (with picnic) and running round the island on the agenda with a good sprinkling of BBQ, Curry and red wine in between. Weather forecast is so-so but hey, it's nice to get away for a few days. Will also watch a bit of the London Marathon on Sunday and try to remind myself that plugging another 10 miles onto the end of the Kilomathon is not as easy as it sounds! I can but dream and will apply again for next year...Ballot opens May 4th
Watched Scottish girl Freya Murray win Irish 10K on Saturday beating Jo Pavey into second, looked a great day for running :O). They were running 3min 10sec kilometres in the middle 3K, finish was 32:30 and mens was 29:17 with Ireland scooping first 6 places in mens race....not sure I can even sprint that fast...BTW it was me who phoned you late last night and hung up. Phone was in my pocket as I was going to bed....tried to cut it off as quick as poss so not to get you up...
