I'm Back!

I decided I actually quite missed blogging and I figured that you all missed my witty reparte and amusing anecdotes... really you do!

The aim this time is to chart the training for my half marathon. I'm running the 'run to the beat' marathon in September in London, (http://www.runtothebeat.co.uk/) combining my new found love of running with an old love of music - (plus I find I go faster when I have music to pace myself to). I'm actually cheating a little bit, I started running back in September when I discovered that without cycling to work everyday I was getting fat. I thought about doing a cycle ride each evening but the roads around Cambridge are dark and dingy. So armed with a pair of old trainers and a day glow jacket I set about exporing the streets of Cambridge.

Catherine suggested the "Run to the Beat" half marathon during a skiing trip this Febuary and I decided it was the perfect excuse to extend my distance and raise some money for a good cause.

So watch this space for updates on getting lost in Cambridge, the best way to navigate when you have absolutely no idea where to go (or indeed where you are) and how to recover room keys from the bottom of the river Cam. Plus (hopefully) new stories of improving speediness, glorious summer evenings and evntually kicking some half marathon arse in September.
