I should write something about the 42.2K in Bangkok on Sunday. But I don't know how to sum up the story in a few words. Marathon #1 in the US last year went like this: trained well + ran my best + finished under 4 hours = very happy. Marathon #2 in Canberra in April: trained well + got injured + had no idea if I could run at all + ran anyway and finished = amazed. Marathon #3 was... different. I took...

I had some exciting news yesterday: I won a prize in Friday’s raffle for Children in Need! And the prize was… a signed photograph of Simon Cowell! When Jane Scott presented this to me with all due pomp I was reminded of the High Court Judge in the 1960s who was reported to have said in court, ‘and who, pray, are the Beatles'’, as I’ve never seen Simon Cowell myself. But...

My batteries are reloaded :-). I have just been to the annual ETC blog dinner, and we apparently broke a new record with some 35 participants, the large majority of which are currently involved in TC, including friends from Birmingham and Münster and others that joined in. Unfortunately, we couldn't all sit at the same table, and Peter Head cancelled the speech he had prepared on the napkin in...

John Sigmund Jr. ran by himself during yesterday's Philadelphia Marathon. But at mile 18, just as he started wondering whether he could go on, a reminder of his training partner, a woman whose picture he carried for the entire 26.2 miles, gave him the psychic push he needed.

had a very nice sunday - woke up to giada de laurentiis and alex guarnaschelli on the food network followed by gordon ramsay's kitchen nightmares and mary portas's "mary queen of shops" on bbc america; forgot it was the philadelphia marathon but managed to run my full route anyway, with a few detours; found a patisserie that was actually open on sundays and went later in the day when all...

For the past 18 months, other than when I have been injured (which is actually a big chunk of it!) I have been training in the morning. When I am not training, I struggle to answer my own question of how I fit it in as the time seems to go just as quickly without training. Yesterday morning I planned another "longest run since the London Marathon" of around 19 miles. I had to be in Port Soderick...

This was certainly an interesting week. We had the cheating Frenchmen with plenty of fallout that is only just starting to subside, my office has moved yet again, for the third time in 6 years, and of course we've had the rain. This time the weather Gods really mean business. When I had been whining about wind and rain in the past I had no idea what a week of sustained stormy weather is really like....
