Running...

I finished the Adidas - Irish Runner - 5 mile challenge, I'm not sure of my time, there was some jostling when I got to the end and I couldn't see the official clock, then I messed up timing it on my watch. So as far as I can work out I either done it in 42:30 or 38:30. Obviously I'd prefer the latter, but the former is more likely! Either way the fastest I've done 5 miles since I was a young fella. We'll wait for the official time...

Speaking of young fellas, the brother done it in "33 something" (his words), which is a fantastic time. Faster than Damien Duff!

What's next? I intend to start running a fixed time, 60 minutes, once or twice a week. Then gradually improve the pace, go further within that time. Can I do 7 miles in an hour? We'll see. I know I should stick to one pace and work on distance but I'm not aiming to run a marathon actually. I just want to burn as many calories as I can in two hours a week.
