Some seem concerned that I have not put anything up about Sunday, so here we go!
This was to be the last in a gruelling month of marathons though injury and illness prevented me doing Milton Keynes. This did not make it any easier.
Read on for what happened to me.
On the train to catch a plane to the capital of sweaty land!
Naturally I have a neon t shirt on!
Next stop, Edinburgh!
And I think I may try a little jaunt along Euston Road to Regents Park for a bit of a wag tomorrow lunch time.
Then, after surviving the afternoon it’s all systems go to fly to sweaty land (except I seem to have landed a case conference with Counsel an hour or so after I land).
I am getting proper excited about the marathon now!
Andy, you are wrong in every sense of the word. 3 Vengaboys tracks? Did they even *have* 3 tracks??
See, now you have just asked for me to list them… The ones on my playlist are:
Shalala Lala
Uncle John from Jamaica
We Like to Party!
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!
Ho Ho Vengaboys!
Up & Down
We’re Going to Ibiza
Parada de Tettas
To Brazil
The Vengabeat
Paradise…
Superfly Slick Dick
There’s a version of the Party Album (their greatest hits and pretty much the only album out there) that has some of their more clubby music rather than the cheese and some of it really is not that bad, especially as fast tempo uplifting stuff for faster training runs…
I know, I know; I’m convincing nobody. But at least my music is matching my running gear now!
And if it might win a little bit of street cred back, the other half of the playlist is steeped in Beastie Boys, Wiley and Calvin Harris.
Andy I say this with love, sort your fucking life out.
Lol! However, I dare you to give this song a couple of minutes of your time and defy that it is not a good tune to run to and let your mind wander
I decided it was time to sort out a new running playlist to stop anything getting too stale and to put in some more upbeat dance tunes.
Something went wrong
Very wrong
It’s over 50% Vengaboys and 2Unlimited…
Today’s exploratory run around Russell Square, UCL and Tottenham Court Road had three Vengaboys tracks back to back before a 2Unlimited tune. Something tells me my musical taste loses me street cred almost as fast as my running attire!
The pace was almost there today, though I wouldn’t have wanted to run a whole marathon at it. One more training run and that’s my lot until taking to the streets of the capital of sweatie-land
There is a reason for me buying more fancy shorts, and that is the arc2arch challenge.
Now, as well as the twitter account, I give you:
Read the bios and see just quite what this challenge involves. The 44 miles of day 2 are possibly bested by day 3’s 16.5 miles into Dieppe followed by a couple of hours to stiffen up on the ferry and then a 24 mile run!
It’s shaping up well though! :D
[edit] I also appear to have but 13 weeks, 2 days and 14 hours until the start… :-O
