7th October 2018

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again, so with the bed stripped and in the washing machine, all the bodies from last nights wild party woken and kicked out (gaffer is in Eastbourne) and with the clear overnight skies plunging the temperature to a chilly 2 degrees with the clock showing 8.20am I'm off out the backdoor on another #sundaymorningwalk /run.

Lovely clear blue skies overhead broken only by the vapour trails of the jet planes flying high above. A light frost on the parked cars, and my breath appearing as I exhale, I make my way through the woods and start to jog.

Im attempting the couch to 5k and I'm on week 4, so I thought I'd combine the Sunday walk with the run breaking from tradition but I hope you don't mind. 

The babbling brook has run dry again, so much for my prediction the other week that it would be flowing for the next few months.

Running down Ravensbank drive past my place of work towards the golden arches of mackie D's I pass a pair of doggers, enjoying the morning air and a jogger who is puffing and panting, I wonder if that's what she thought of me as we nod a greeting and trot past.

A Jay darts across my path on his way home with a beak full of food. 

Back through the factory units I run/stumble. I'm beginning to regret the Guinness and large kebab of yesterday as my belly bounces up and down lol.
Back though the woods and over the not so babbling brook, run 1 week 4 completed.

 I time my 5 minute warm down to perfection as I am almost home. 2.75 miles in 33 mins. Stamina and breathing improving all the time.

Lots of jobs to do before the bride gets home so until next week have a great Sunday everyone and remember to be nice to your hubby today, it may not look like he's done much but he really has.

If you're on a long drive today take care and drive safely and if you're expecting news of a job offer in the coming week, fingers and toes are crossed for you. 

No photos this week

So long and Ta-ra for a bit

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again when I make a piss poor excuse for not entertaining you all with a walk.... Well not today!! Im back😁. I choose a big coat and hat as its been quite chilly of late, with the clock ticking over to 8.34am, a joint of beef prepared and in the oven and with the temperature a mild 5 degrees centigrade I'm out the back door and off on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's not that cold to be fair, a lovely blue sky and the sun coming up over the cow shed, remnants of an overnight frost still on the grass and path as I make my way to the woods. A squirrel runs across my path and I immediately started to hum the theme to Mission Impossible, I bet you do that everytime you see one too.  A few cars pass as I make my onto the main road, I look up and there is not one vapour trail or plane to be seen, disappointing to say the least. The amount of rubbish in the bushes near Mcdoonalds is disgusting I bet its the same near to your ...

Hello again readers, it's that time of the week again, so with a nice bit of beef prepared and placed in the oven, dishwasher full from last nights meal with Gavlar and Jayne and switched on, cup of tea and headache tablets delivered to the hungover gaffer upstairs and with the clock ticking over to 8.05am I'm off out the gate on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's quite mild out again today 9 degrees according to my phone but a slight breeze knocks a couple of degrees off that. I'm sure we will pay for all this mild weather soon.  The first bit of wildlife I see is a little white tiger staring at me I stare back a while before continuing through the woods. The babbling Brook struggling to babble after the lack of rain recently is a sorrowful sight.  A juvenile sparrow patiently waits whilst I capture his image.  I here rustling to my left just after the underpass and I spy a rabbit,  luckily for me it doesn't know I'...

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again this time out on location in the capital city of the abandoned shopping trollies Eastbourne. With the clock ticking over to 7.20am a cup of tea delivered to the gaffer, knees strapped up and running shoes on the temperature a balmy 9 degrees I'm off out the door on another #sundaymorningwalk slash run. I'm into week 8 of my couchto5k journey Laura in my ear instructs me to begin with a brisk 5 min warm up walk before embarking on a 28 min run. The route I've chosen is the cuckoo trail behind our guest house, it's relatively flat compared to my run back home but quite boring as I have to turn at Lottebridge Drive and retrace my steps it turns out 4 times. I really must improve my dietary habits the evening before a run as I don't think beer, a half bottle of house red and a 3 course Italian in Prezzo followed by a birthday glass of Moet (Gaffer's birthday yesterday) back at The Don's mansion is i...
