500 miles to go

Welcome. This was originally the place to get updated on Tony Quinlan's 500 miles to go challenge. It's now evolved into a general blog on running.

Into Lightning

Friday evening and the first real test - a run in cooler, windier weather with the constant threat of rain.  It rained earlier, it's obviously going to rain later, but I managed a dry run - although the homeward leg allowed me to see lightning flashes out over Flitwick, Harlington and Toddington.

But a good enough run.  And the runs are now long enough to benefit from the MP3 player and listening to audiobook chapters or podcasts.  One of the drawbacks about running a business from home is that there's no commuting.

Now I know that commuting is more bane than boon to most people, but it does allow time to read and listen to useful stuff.  Even more so now, with interesting podcast programmes than previously.  And there's never enough time sitting at the desk to listen to a podcast, so the runs are perfect for that.

Improving my legs and cardiovascular system and the brain all in one go.  Can't be bad...

21 miles run - 1058 miles to go.
