Training for distance running (and Injury)

I am 71 years of age and trying to return to running after more than twenty years of inactivity.

Training outdoors in the UK

Okay....my whinge of the day. I don't know about the rest of you but I am getting fed up with the yobs (waste of spacers for my fellow Americans) that seem to be everywhere these days.

A day, or days, in the life of a middle aged triathlete (that may be a bit of a stretch...;-) )

Okay...first effort at a blog on this site. Not had much luck in the past with other sites.

Early versions of "txt"

I’m just sending you bloggies this explanatory memorandum so that you can understand me if I experience a throwback now and then and suddenly skew off into making use of enigmatic words.

Excuse the delay

Excuses! Excuses! No, reasons let’s say, not excuses, reasons for losing the plot these last few weeks. And my apologies for it.

Reason 1: Holiday time, most of my dear old readers have been on holiday, I even met some while I was away!

McCLaren looks to Golden Oldies

After the return of David Beckham, rumours are rife that Steve McClaren could recall the thirty-something pair of David James and Sol Campbell.

England, it seems, are becoming a venerable Dad's Army. With the youthful David Bentley missing the call for the right-wing position, I can only assume that McClaren is digging up Stanley Matthews' grave as we speak.

Of course there is, it’s something so important it could never be left out, yes, bloody good sex. (Should that be effing good sex?) All guaranteed!

The Autoblography, now on Channel 4

Well, a persons Blog can be many things, a straightforward diary, a message to the world, a serial story, a confession... Anybody got any suggestions for other services it can handle? Let me know, by registering lower down and commenting there.

The Higher Thinking, in its relationships to Animal Communications

black labradorMr Z we take as our model to be studied; for he boasts a vocabulary almost on a level with those of some of the lesser philosophers.

Every Dog must have his Day

I’ve promised three times so far to write a blog about a dog - and now the time has come. The advantage to you harassed bloggies who will read this is that it’s not as intensive as usual; call it a recovery period from training if you like, part of every athlete’s discipline. Nor must we forget that veteran athletes would do well to keep a dog, for as I’ve said it gets them out for an extra aerobic session a day.
