I got some new shoes, a pair of Adidas Energy Boost, and as I have been busy at work and havn't been running since Sunday I thought I take them for a test run.I am running with the club tonight doing the pub run tonight, and didn't want to get my new babies all muddy. Shoes felt great. Light and very cushiony. I think I can get some new PB's out of these. I hope the weather stays like this for tonights pub run :-)

A great sunny evening for a pub run. This is a pub run with a difference, as we had some good fast miles on the canal tow paths and some roads. All to finish at a pub we couldn't get into as they where fully booked, so we drove to a pub further along where we had some poor food but great company.

Did a long run with Gwyn, Carrie and Dominic and tried to keep the pace slow especially as Dominic had never run over 8 miles before. The legs felt good throughout. Dominic left us at Adersley wich was 13 miles and Carrie Gwyn and I pushed our selves to do a bit further. Met quite a few people on the way. First Carrie's daughter Hannah, then some other girls from the club and Ad at mile 14. Nice running weather at first, then it started to rain a bit.

Tagged along with the twins to do an extra 7 mile run. I felt a bit stiff and didn't have much leg power. Luckily Paul and Gwyn felt their long runs in their legs too and where running it as a slowish recovery run. Gwyn led us on a local route through some nice countryside and luckily the rain held back so it was a great evening for running.

We went out in driving rain and wind onto the railway track and back onto the canal tow path. The sun came out half way through although it seemed to be raining harder when it did and produced a beautiful rainbow. I had a few fast miles and in the last mile we where overtaken by a fast runner which gave me the opportunity to chase him. As I came a bit closer to him, he heard me and sprinted away leaving me to eat his dust. Oh well, at least I dried off quite a bit in the process.

We did a fantastic route through the countryside of Tettenhall and Perton devised by Gwyn. Some of the paths I had never been on before and it was such beautiful sunny evening, we all really enjoyed it.

A great pub run which Paul, Gwyn and I started from Paul's home. The run took us on the canal paths to farm land then railway track onto a great steep incline up Orton Ridge. Quite a tough run with many climbs and down hills and I ended up chasing Paul on the last mile back to the pub. It was all worth it, we finished with a couple of pints of Guiness and some good gammon with some great mates. It doesn't get any better then that!

A great day to run a race and as always this was a packed DK race with over 1000 people running and more numbers being made available on the day. I always look forward to this race as it's just enough time to have recovered from the London marathon and I always try and better my previous year's time. And I did it again, if only by 17 seconds it's a new PB. Well done to all the W&B runners. some amazing results!

This wasn't me running, but my son Luke. His first proper race and he would have wooped my ass. He looked pretty relaxed when I saw him on the first check point and even at mile two when I saw him again he wasn't sweating it and I shouted for him to speed up. Looking at his Garmin readouts his mileage was pretty decent though mile one 6:37 mile two 6:54 mile three 6:36. He forgot to switch his watch off at the finish line, so it's probably nearer 20 mins. Faster then my PB :-)

First run back since the marathon last Sunday and Gwyn took us on a great rout through Tettenhall and Perton. It was a little like one of our pub runs, and we even had to climb over some stiles. The legs where feeling good and I even managed a couple of quicker spurts, chasing my son Luke who is getting quite fast now. He's doing his first race tomorrow, a 5k route organised by the club. I'll be looking on at the sidelines hoping he'll smash it and do me proud.

Ran on the treadmill for the treadmill challenge I organised at IKEA today. Not entirely sure about the distance that I ran, but it must have been about that. We ran 125 miles as a team today and raised just over £1000. A absolutely fantastic result. We completely smashed the target of £500 and 100 miles. Thanks to some great friends for coming along and help out. I couldn't have done it without them.
