Whilst trying to carry an oven down a spiral staircase I fell and have fractured my wrist... so I wont be hitting the streets for a few weeks, just when it was all going so well!!
Dispraxic Fantastic
I hear the Amsterdam Marathon is flat? Good, as this is the first one I've done (I imagine it will also be the last) I started running last February but I am by no stretch of the imagination a runner. I managed a half marathon last year, limping round after a bravado fuelled drunken bet. I have 10 months and will document my success (or failure) here as either a demonstration that what they say is true "everyone has one marathon in them" or as a cautionary tale to those as foolish as me...

Back on track
Got back out today after last weekends fail, and I managed much further than I thought I would, I'd aimed for 8 miles, but managed 8.6 in 87 minutes. Very pleased with this! and I ran past the new house I want to buy on the way. Heres the new extended route, sort of a combination of my two 6 milers, pretty hilly (one massive uphill and one epic down hill as well as a few smaller inclines) not a bad route if anyone else fancies joining me next weekend for the same?

Good effort
Just watched this clip that popped up on reddit

A family out on a boat that free a humpback whale that was massively tangled in a load of abandoned fishing nets using only a snorkle and a pen knife! Good effort... though it all gets a bit mushy and American at the end... but still, well done that man!

February: So far so crap
Foiled by the snow and subsequent minging head cold last weekends planned 8 mile run simply didnt happen. Although I was pleased not to have to go outside in these Baltic temperatures I was geniunely dissapointed and really hope to be back on track by this weekend. So to remind myself why I'm doing this I made a clay whale at work today! Well it was a whale but then it became a Narwal because Narwals are AWSOME...
