So I'm outside raking leaves yesterday, or as us gardeners like to call them, "carbon," and I notice the side of my house and realize I haven't given you the final update. The lawn. Back in August, when I saw my neighbor getting trees cut down and arranged for the chipped wood to be left at my house, I ended up with a mega-pile that I then proceeded to spread everywhere, including making...

It was yet another fab day and all the encouragement I needed to grab the running shoes and head out. I picked a route that took me up to Dunfermline, onto the cycle track, down to Blairhall and back home. It was a stunner. The views back over to Grangemouth were immense. Hopefully you can see the steam rising in the distance. I found the run easier than expected. I've taken my running fairly easy...

Garrabrant - NBAE/Getty Images Browse more photos » I think I once heard that the NBA season is a marathon and not a sprint, but I'd be inclined to argue that statement based on the Celtics ' schedule thus far. Fortunately, the pace of this season will drop off somewhat over the course of the next week and the C's will finally be able to catch their breath. Eight...

The star of Emma reflects on love, marriage and why her two-year-old nephew is obsessed with cranes "Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen." This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself "on tape" for a part in Spider-Man 4 . This is the acting equivalent of the London...

Three runners die during Detroit marathon. I used to admire marathon runners, thinking them to be at the peak of fitness. No more: such deaths are pretty common -- not because people haven't trained well enough, but apparently because they're doing s...

People have been getting faster and faster over the last few decades. Usain Bolt shattered both the 100m and 200m world records at the World Championships in Berlin, knocking tenths of a second off each. Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie's world marathon (42km) record of two hours, three minutes and 59 seconds is nearly 23 per cent faster than it was in the 1920 marathon.

While running in the park this morning, I noticed a woman on rollerblades apply gloss while whizzing by me. Twenty minutes later, a jogger ran past wearing bright red lipstick. Who else likes to sport a little color on their lips during a workout? (I sometimes dab on some Too Faced Mood Swing Lip Gloss before a run. I love the pink that appears after a couple miles!) By the way, a big congratulations...
