"You don't stop running because you get old....you get old because you stop running!"
A great quote from a book I read recently - Born to run by Christopher McDougall. Insired me to change my outlook on running, its not just to keep fit! Its an enjoyable hobby.

Five Fingers down!!!!!!!!!
My personal damage healed pretty quickly. Its only taken a few days for my calves to recover and my left foot is fine now!
However..............my vibrams............have ripped!!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
2 Months they've lasted! Gutted!
Ok as you see the tear isn't too bad! However its still bad! I love my shoes!!
God bless my textiles lessons in my middle school days! I can sew, they fore the damage has been sorted!
Time will tell, going for a run after work tomorrow. Hopefully the sewing will hold, watch this space!

Hellrunner!
Yesterday I, with a couple of thousand others, ran the 10 to 12 miles of Hellrunner - Hell Down
I did the same run 2 years ago, however this year I think route has been changed and is now a lot harder!!!! Not only because i was wearing my vibrams!
Me and my mates completed it within the 2 hour limit!! I think that's not bad!
More pics to come!

Been a while.......
Been away a little recently, blogger was sadly not on my mind.
Few things have been going on, been injured which annoyed the hell out of me, been a bit on the busy side of things at work and the world spins on.
Got hellrunner down south this weekend which I've actually trained for this time! Did it 2 years ago and managed a time of about 1 hour 55 mins! Hope to do better this time! Running in my vibram five fingers! Wish me luck!

Curse you Calf Muscles!!!
Last week I ran my favourite route in my favourite shoes using my new favourite running form........and paid the price!! Friday morning my calf Muscles on both legs were in so much pain I could barely walk without limping like an old man! Add the fact that on my run I missed judged where a rather large stone was and hit it right on my heel!! Ouch is not the word! So I've rested the whole weekend.
Training continues in the new week! I will conquer the half mile in my vibrams before Hellrunner!
