Jointace– much needed

Completed a 2hour run at Bydgøy in rainy conditions…   check out that Joitace!
Gives your joints and muscles that soothing feeling after a strenuous workout.

First proper run outdoors…..

Had a great run this morning around the Bygdøy peninsula in the inner part of the Oslo fjord! Well.. the roads were covered in snow.. but hey so much better than running on a treadmill!!!!!!

Found some pics of Bygdøy in winter ….. Buutiful

Just realised… I m a week ahead of schedule

I have been following this training plan and just realised that the tough lap that I ran last Saturday was scheduled for tomorrow… hmm..    hope that wont change anything.

Just received a donation from a dear friend back in Leeds. Akafuna – thanks a lot.

Ballueder donates!

Now fully recovered from the toughest lap so far. I was walking like an old man saturday night when out…

Good news! – Herr Ballueder from an organisation that helps to enhance performance from within has sponsored Shelter. It says on their website www.cb-consulting.co.uk that cb consulting is currently undergoing a strategic change and will focus more on management consultancy in the future. Please visit them again or contact them. You can also register for an automatic update.

20 miles – 32 km completed in less than 3 hours..

Man I m like a vegetable.. realise the last 10 k of the marathon is going to be very painful!!!!

Anyone with some good advice on how to OPTIMISE my preparation the last three weeks… ??

One thing.. why I m doing this? In support of Shelter.

The lack of affordable housing is at the root of Britain’s housing crisis. The British government has made a pledge to build three million new homes – but the number of homes for social renting must rise sharply if the crisis is to be resolved.

Millions of people in the UK are forced to live in substandard and overcrowded accommodation or are without a permanent home.

Isak donates!

Isak Dammann has donated to the just cause!  Thanks a lot to him and his family for the support.  Shelter has now released a movie on the subject of overcrowding.

The thousands of families trapped in overcrowded housing in Britain report huge strains on their relationships.

According to Shelter’s research, one in ten overcrowded households has teenagers of the opposite sex sleeping in the same room. In Trapped, we see how awkward it is for Molly when she gets her period in the room she shares with her brother Jack.

And adults often have no privacy either, as Trapped shows when the parents have to share a bed with the younger children to give Molly some space. This creates friction and destroys relationships.
