    Shadow jumped ahead again at the end of this evening’s run. The sun dropped low behind us & he sprang forward as I turned to look at the view. And he knew my legs were tired. Bastard. Posted with LifeCast

    Welcome to Swansea! Not that you can see it through the rain. I’m really not looking forward to cycling home.

    Wow, Twitter has been down for hours now. Do we go back to “traditional” blogging? – Water is pouring through the ceiling of reception in the School of Medicine. Neither my power or wifi were affected though. – Remote control of my iPhone on the bike is ace, just like in the old days of…

    I’m getting quite excited. This is unusual, I know. One of my Google Reader feeds showed that the route map for the Dublin marathon is now available online.

    It’s been a little quiet recently as we come to the end of the academic year. The rest of the university finished and shut up shop ages ago, or so it feels. In medicine we’re in a revision week this week and students will be hitting the final first year exams next week. The other…

    I had a VO2max workout this morning on the track, running fast miles. The first felt good, the second felt horrible, and so it continued downward (but I maintained my times). My warm down was a 1600m shuffle, not a run. It was a good workout and one of the toughest I have to do,…

    Do you still not Twitter? OK, so much of what I tweet is random crap, but I’m sure that was the original, microblogging intention. And I’d love to know about your day to day random crap. It feels as thought Twitter is everywhere these days, and I think that’s a good thing. Can it keep…
