Week 8 & 9 of 9! 8 Jul 2012 | 09:42 pm
Nine weeks. Nine weeks of intermittently hating and fearing a computer voice. Nine weeks of sweating more than any other time in my life combined (including that Death From Above 1979 gig I went to ye...
Not even cats can stop me (Week 7 of 9) 25 Jun 2012 | 09:54 pm
I’m almost there. I’m so close to throwing it all in Alison’s face. One more week of ‘training’ and I will theoretically be running half an hour three nights in one week. This was nothing I couldn’t h...
Learning Curve (Week 6 of 9) 17 Jun 2012 | 01:57 pm
For fear of saying the same thing every week (‘it was hard but I did it anyway’) I’ll keep this brief. This week features my first 20 minute run and the hardest run I’ve had to do yet. Which was not t...
Take me back to Week 1, Alison! (Week 4 & 5 of 9) 12 Jun 2012 | 11:03 pm
For a number of reasons that I don’t need to go into I just haven’t felt like trying to be funny on the internet. So I missed a few weeks of this running review thing. But I didn’t miss out on actuall...
A sort-of breakthrough thanks to Donald Glover and Daniel Bryan (Week 3 of 9) 29 May 2012 | 02:51 am
That up there is my new ‘I’m going running’ t-shirt and I think it’s partly responsible for this week becoming, dare I say, somewhat enjoyable. Now it hasn’t been torture (it is, after all, still jus...
Running up that hill, little by little (Week 2 of 9) 20 May 2012 | 10:25 pm
Forgive me for breaking one of Orwell’s sacred rules of writing by starting this off with a cliché but progress is a slow process. After last week’s workouts I was feeling pretty positive about this ...
I am becoming physically active, what has happened to me? (Week 1 of 9) 12 May 2012 | 11:46 pm
I have started running. Be calm, this is not a sign of impending doom, the moon has not turned to blood and to the best of my knowledge no two-headed cows have been born the past week. Stock markets ...
You are what you love 18 Mar 2012 | 04:38 pm
This is a little piece I wrote for a literary journalism class I’m taking right now. It was an assignment on creating a character. It’s about my grandfather and it got a B+. Later assignments got bett...
When it sounded better 11 Mar 2012 | 02:07 am
Regular readers (are there any?) may have noticed my dad comes up a bit in my ramblings. There was even a photo of him in one of my personal favourite entries. There’s good reason for this, the man is...
Facebook 2011 – State of the Union 3 Dec 2011 | 06:27 pm
Two years ago I wrote a little something about how much I hate Facebook and how it is evil and smells and hurts people and how I’ll keep using it anyways because, duh, it’s Facebook. As we all know, t...
