"Autumnal 5" Race Report Added & Training Page Updated
Training has changed a bit and I seem to easily forget to update my weekly mileage, so that's been summed up into just an annual cumulative total. The Autumnal 5 race report has taken an eternity to put live as, to be honest, I just plum forgot about it.

Training Page Updated
Well I've started playing football again on Wednesdays, so that's changed on my training schedule. Also I've added a link to the training blog I keep over at runnersforum.co.uk. Hopefully this will give anyone who's interested a chance to see my training in a little more depth.

"Stratford Summer 6" Race Report Added
A little later than planned but it took a while to get the race photo's... and to be honest now that I've seen them I wish I'd gone without! Great Race, I'll definately be back again.

Website Re-Launched!
Since the original launch of the site in June 2007, my thoughts on the site and what purpose it has have changed somewhat. Originally I wanted it to be a place where people could learn a little about me, and find out about where I was at with my running, biking, and my career... I also wanted prospective employers to view the site and be able to see examples of work I have done, and to view my Curriculum Vitae.

In theory it was all fine and dandy – after all I'd never intended the site to be hugely popular! But alas as time has gone on, my CV hasn’t been updated and my job has meant signing a confidentiality agreement – obviously meaning I can't update the site with details of work I've completed. That has basically seen the death of the 'Work' section of the site. The 'play' section has always really been a 'running' section accompanied by a note to say 'I also enjoy mountain biking'. Well I never got around to uploading any of my biking photos & videos, and now I don't really do much (if any) biking at all.

With that in mind, the site has been re-launched… retaining some of it's original content, but is now more a resource for people to learn my life story in a nutshell and how my running's going (in terms of racing, training and my kit). In the not too distant future I hope to launch another site that’s a running information resource, jam packed full of tips and advice for runners of all abilities.
