Friday, 9 May 2008. My Training for the 2009 MdS - 8. Thursday's run was a recovery run, which I really did try to run at a slow pace.

I'm very much looking forward to the. Grand Prix de Berne. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Craig, finishing a half-marathon. The Maratona Ticino November 2007. Injury - yet again! I've ...

Wednesday, 27 February 2008. Mountain Biking - alternate training 1. It's still officially winter in Europe, but on Sunday, spring-like temperatures were forecast, with a maximum in Chur of 20°C expected.

Come Boxing Day, though, and I was rearing to go - blame it on Mr. Kipling's exceedingly fine mince pies! That Dr. Hasler had ...
