Sometime over the last few months I turned into a runner…well, I’m actually really hesitant to call myself a ‘runner’ because it feels a bit like saying, ‘I’m a nuclear physicist’ when I’m only the person who cleans the toilets of the physicists who make the nuclear weapons. That’s how daunting the whole ‘running’ thing is to me and why I’m more comfortable with the label ‘the running twat’ at this stage (and thank you to the person who did a search for that and left me with a gem of a page title).

Discussions about running tend to make the eyes of the non-interested glaze over (if M’s general reaction is indicative of ‘most people’) so I thought I might move all the talk of wicking, HRM’s, ortholite cushioning, pace wristbands and other assorted running stuff here. For my own reference, it’s also going to be a bit of a training journal while I work towards a few personal goals.
