Not Running [from iPhone]

This year I had to pull out of attempting the Reading Half-Marathon because of injury to my left knee I sustained from crashing my bike.

Now that spring is here – you can tell by the relentless rain and grey skies – I want to start going running again. Seeing the many thousand runners participate in this years race (we were spectating from the bottom of Russell Street at mile 7 of the course) just makes me want to go out and run.

My knee still hurts. The road back will be long and bumpy. But I am ready for the journey back to fitness.

Looking Forward – [Post from iPhone]

This is an interesting experience: I am now writing this post from my iPhone. Not the easiest of experiences but allows one to post on the go, or at least compose draft posts on the go.

Tonight I am going to go to my first ever twestival (charity fundraising event for the Twitter community, held globally today) in Reading. Excited and expectant but entering an unknown world: the world of people that uses twitter. Yes I have met people through Twitter and met and know a few people that use Twitter to communicate. But a whole room of them specifically there because of Twitter?

Looking forward to going on holiday with my girlfriend Marion. Where are we going? That’s a surprise that I will find out the answer to on Saturday morning when we arrive at the airport for our flight. Which airport and what destination? Both of which I am dying to find out!

sunshine walk along the river

This morning we went for a walk along the river to get some fresh air and were blasted away by strong in the face winds and bright blue sunshine. Keeping to my promise I did take a couple of photos but the hands were too cold to take more than that and I am only now (5pm) starting to warm up again.

After a sausage and fried egg sandwich lunch (ingredients bought at the farmers market yesterday morning) we watched the FA Cup quarter-final between Reading and Aston Villa. Reading easily outclassed their Premier League opponents in the first-half and went into the break 2-0 up. Unfortunately the away team scorred three goals and Reading were left optimistically prodding and firing balls towards the Aston Villa net but could not succeed. The game finished 4-2 to Aston Villa.

This afternoon I am listening to Foals and Polar Bear and just about to start studing the final two chapters of the first book of my CIW Foundations Course. They both are on Microsoft Expression Web. Later I hope to study a bit of PHP.
