Morning all


Nice to get out for a run this morning after a rather frustrating week.  Another working week that I was basically either working or daddy day-caring from 5am til 9pm left no time for a run.  Technically I could have gone out a couple of evenings but with Mrs R again in Dublin social services may have had an issue.


Anyway excuses out of the way.


I decided to go for a very early run this morning, mainly because it is my little girl's 3rd birthday party today (god I am getting old).  As a result the rest of my day will be filled with kitchen slavery and noisy children, deep joy.  As it was so dark I chose not to run down by the river.  It is lethal enough down there when you can see where you are going, also you never know how many Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls are down there (think about it).


So instead I chose to stick to the roads and run around some very attractive parts of West London, taking in such joyous sights as:

• Hammersmith Broadway
• Shepherds Bush Green
• Uxbridge Road (Acton)
• Acton High Street

It was quite nice running somewhere different although Lardy Boy couldn't help but notice that he was the only runner he saw all morning.  As a result I got a few odd stares, although the highlight was a totally hammered bloke trying to give me a hug on the Uxbridge Road.  I chose instead to dodge into the road to avoid him, I did look back and noticed that he reacted to my shimmy about 10 seconds too late and nearly fell into the road.  He was in pieces, I think he will be having a quiet Saturday.

Now I had planned a jaunt around Richmond Park tomorrow morning with my old mate, Simon Croxford.  I think I may have to let him down due to a diary cock up.  I am at a Christmas Do tonight and may get spangled.  If I don't manage a trip to Richmond Park tomorrow then I will have to try and do it over Christmas.  Sorry Croxy, will text you later.

The final thing I would like to point out is that I have managed to clock up over 100 miles of running so far. As a result I think that I require more financial rewards.  The running total now is in excess of £800 which is fantastic but there is a long way to go to get up to the £5k target I have given myself.

Anyway have a top weekend
