About Me
was recently named within an online running article titled 'wasted talent' - after a successful youth I just chose to watch tv and eat pizza after work - and this seemed to last an unhealthy 10 years - until 2006 when a friend suggested the london marathon - two half hearted attempts passed and then the children arrived - starting to develop an even fatter tum at the start of 2010 the need to train seriously again was paramount - a summer of marathon prep has resulted in a superb 23M (+ a cramp induced 3.2M hobble to the finish) - but the fire has been lit again within and the plan now is to return to those childhood 10k's, and look to do myself proud in those 'new' age categories that litter the racing world Show More...

About Me

was recently named within an online running article titled 'wasted talent' - after a successful youth I just chose to watch tv and eat pizza after work - and this seemed to last an unhealthy 10 years - until 2006 when a friend suggested the london marathon - two half hearted attempts passed and then the children arrived - starting to develop an even fatter tum at the start of 2010 the need to train seriously again was paramount - a summer of marathon prep has resulted in a superb 23M (+ a cramp induced 3.2M hobble to the finish) - but the fire has been lit again within and the plan now is to return to those childhood 10k's, and look to do myself proud in those 'new' age categories that litter the racing world
