A race
Posted Dec 15, 2000
The first race is just around the corner. A light hearted, good spirited fell run to the top of a fairly large, steep hill belonging to a range in Shropshire known as "The Roaches". Always held in the cold of mid-late-December, "The Christmas Cracker" is a regular fixture, with free beer for every entrant.
As for me, after the self-imposed rest over last weekend, and the self inflicted wounds of Tuesday I had a good, quick but short, run on Wednesday and a moderately energetic game of squash. Too much to eat at a Christmas party last night. Tonight I'll do some long, slow (90 minutes) just to get some distance into my legs, and as a penance for all those fajitas.

More running, and the pain of hill reps
Posted Dec 6, 2000
Almost at the end of the first week, and today is a rest day. Sunday was the first of my "long runs", up Black Bank and through the very picturesque Scott Hay, where I managed to trip over a bit of ornamental kerbing and go arse over tit. Bugger. Yesterday, though, I went out with some better runners and we ran up and down a short hill. Repeatedly. My thighs were absolute murder last night, but by this morning the pain had slipped down my leg into my ankles. Couldn't face cycling into work so I gathered together my laundry and went for the bus...
Got a date for my PhD viva. Its monday. Eeek.

Running Entry 1
Posted Nov 30, 2000
Ran the local route known only as "Long Silverdale". Pissing down with rain and my radio would only pick up Signal, the local commercial pop station. Not a bad run, not good, but probably a pretty good platform on which to build...

Lovely Fluffy Sums

Sums all work in a surprisingly groovy way. The amount of bother that can be caused by accidentally using a lower case 'k' rather than an upper case 'K' in a bit of code is somewhat scary.
But thats another point for me. Gaz 1 Computers 7
