Race Photo's Added
Finally got around to adding some Photo's. So far I've added Photo's for the Wedgnock 'Hills & Spills' Winter Series 2009/10 Races 1, 2 & 3 as well as the Castle Combe 'Chilly' 10k. Fingers crossed I'll get chance to write a couple more reports and put more photo's live tomorrow.

21 June 2010
"Wedgnock Hills & Spills" Reports added
Having realised I've not updated the site for bloomin' ages, I've added a few race reports to hopefully bring things up to date. Photo's will be added soon (I promise!)

Quite an essay... but finally (3months after the event) the race report is live. Photo to be added soon.

08 February 2010
"EDF Birmingham Half Marathon" Report Added (awaiting photos)
Apologies it's been so long since the last update, I've been slacking somewhat in writing reports and aim to get the race reports back up to date over the next couple of days.

"Stratford's Big 10k" Race Report Added
Since the recent website update, it's a lot easier to add race reports - So I present to you, a mere 2 days after the race, my latest race report!

12 September 2009
Website Revamp & Full Update
Well I decided the homepage was starting to look a little dated, and was quite narrow, which meant that where I'd written longer race reports the page seemed to be incredibly tall. I decided I'd do a bit of a 'freshen up' and also bring all the race reports up to date. There's loads of reports added since my last update, so grab a coffee, have a read, and let me know your thoughts!

07 April 2009
"Leamington Regency 10k" Race Report Added
I've skipped a few events to write this latest report, two days after the event itself... I'll hopefully fill in the missing gaps over the next week or so.

27 October 2008
"Lady Godiva Half Marathon" Race Report Added
Fantastic event that I'll remember forever, update slightly delayed while waiting for the photos.

10 October 2008
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.

10 October 2008
"Autumnal 5" Race Report Added
The Autumnal 5 race report has taken an eternity to put live as, to be honest, I just plum forgot about it.

28 July 2008
"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.

20 July 2008
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.
