March 20th - 8 mile run to Putney to see my groin therapist..

March 15-19th -- Ill. 

March 14th - Gentle 8 miler in the gym to try and test out my groin.  Seemed to go okay!  Hopefully get some more running this week...

March 11th -- The first run since the 'groin incident'.  Easy run to Tower Bridge and back.  Only a few twinges, so happy!
March 10th - And again…This time for 1hr 45mins!  Very boring!
March 9th - Went to physio for some groin 'treatment'...Luckily, damage not as bad as it could have been.  Should be up and running again soon.
March 8th - Bike again…
March 7th - On yer bike…Concentrating on cycling in the gym to give groin time to rest!
March 5th - Disaster strikes.  Pulled my, err, groin.()..skiing.  Very annoying! 
March 2nd - 12 mile run along the North and South banks.
March 1st - 8 mile run to Putney
Feb 28th - Trip to the swimming pool.  A chance to rest those weary legs.

Feb 25th -- The carbohydrate drinks and gel packs have made their first appearance...Things are getting serious!  17 miles run on Saturday which again is the longest so far!  And I'm glad I had the drinks as the last bit really started to hurt.  I think I might be starting to experience the dreaded 'wall'!  Should be doing a 17-20 mile run on Thursday before my second bit of 'altitude' training this year...Oh yes!

Feb 19th - Longest run so far...Just under 14 miles, and in 1 hour 34...If I can double that I'll be a happy man!

Feb 15th -- Since getting the all clear from the physio things have been going well.  I'm now doing two 8 mile runs a week in the gym, and one long run along the Thames.  So far I've managed 12 miles...Aiming for 14 miles this week!

Feb 14th -- Sadly my hot date with my trainers had to be cancelled due to a work deadline...Hopefully not the first of many disruptions...Fingers crossed...

Feb 3rd - 12th -- Skiing disrupts training slightly, but I did make up by going to the gym once during the week!  Surely that's acceptable!

Jan 21st -- The day after a long run by Battersea Park I discover an 18 foot whale was lurking in the Thames a few metres from me.  Random!

Jan 15th -- Went to see a physio last week, and was advised to cut down the running on concrete (never a bad thing to do).  Now doing lots of cardio work in the gym...bikes, ergs etc.  Calves are feeling much better as a result!

Training began in earnest back in November.  So far I’ve run in London, Devon, Virginia and Texas!  I’ll be adding the Alps to that list before too long…
