So where have I been .... Holiday that's where!

Good points:

• Been on two - three holidays
• Eaten loads
• Thoroughly enjoyed myself

Bad points:

• New PB. Not in anything good but the heaviest I have been since the "Guinness" term at uni
• Hardly any running
• All of August off

As you can see I have had to introduce a new category to track my weight as this is getting bad. Yesterday was so bad that I had to get a bus from where I gave up! I am not looking forward to this damn half marathon. I am really slow at the moment and massively unfit. Help!

So what happened in August on the running from ... nothing - that's what!

In July after the British 10k, I went on a cruise. I managed one day where I did laps of the top deck, and one day where I tried to but was too hungover. As I was running on the top deck and the boat was moving runkeeper thinks these runs were my fastest ever but if I really could run at those speed I would be giving old Linford a run for his money.

The only other thing that happened is I tried running with my old buddy Shikha. She too is doing the half marathon though she has been training loads and is looking super fit and healthy whereas I look like a fat man. We ran for a bit but then bowel trouble kicked in (for her not me) and we had to get home (quick!). Stats:
