Running Art

Since we're considering our nation's future - a symbol for the nation!

Well I thought I’d have a little fun with the Running tracking software, and since we’re debating the nation’s future in the run up to the election I thought I’d draw us a flag! See the Running Activity for the context of that little bit of the run.

Also I’ve still quite a bit to raise to reach my sponsorship target and Love Running HQ say that if each of the Love Runners were able to raise another £100 this week, then we’d hit the £100,000 target as a whole.

So – here’s a little challenge. The first people to claim the cash match prize by commenting on the blog here AND sponsoring me here will win the prize of extra free money – I’ll match the next donations (with claims here) up to a value of £50 (so that, together, we reach the £100 target for this week)

Thanks to everyone that’s sponsored me already.

Electrician in Horfield, Bristol – good one found

I found a good electrician. It’s good to know! Aidge installed a new consumer unit and gave us a propper earth and was really helpful when Dad and I needed to consult him as we were installing the new ring main for our kitchen and providing the supply to the oven. It was great to be able to do a lot of the work ourselves, but be able to relly on Aidge to answer our more technical questions, and not feel like we were asking to much.

So if you need an electrician in Bristol – I say give Aidge a call on 07908 115170. His outfit is called Switched On and they do Electrical Design & Installation?.

I’m back training again

Having shelved the training for 2 weeks over Easter as we got the bulk of the kitchen refurbishment sorted – I’m back.

Here’s the result

My longest run yet and I didn’t hurt too much at the time – aching now though.

If you haven’t sponsored me – please consider it.

First Long(er) run!

I’m in to the Training Objective of building up the length of my runs now. Having missed Wednesday’s run (still too wacked from being ill) I had to jump from 3 mins jog / 1 min walk repeated straight up to a 15 minute jog. Here’s the result.

The first 10 minutes were OK and I got through the last 5 minutes by concentrating hard on my running style! gonna hurt tomorrow though I think.

Instructions how to use a Kenwood A927 Cream Maker

Someone emailed me asking for the instructions for the Kenwood attachment that makes cream from milk and butter – so I thought I’d scan them in case others need them (and before my instructions get too tattered!).

Here they are:
