On Saturday 26th March at 8.30pm I will be turning off the lights, in support of Earth Hour. I think a nice moonlight walk with the dog sounds like a plan, or maybe reading a book by candlelight.

Half-term, running and stuff…
Project365 is still going strong, although Helen has suggested that I need to blog more, otherwise my tiny little part of the virtual universe is in danger of becoming rather dull, tedious and boring. Hence this….
Half-term was great. Didn’t really do much at all, a spot of marking (not as much as I had planned), a trip to Leicester, and a couple of races was pretty much it – but that is what half-term is all about.
On the running front I’ve been going to Bourne Town Harriers Tuesday training pretty regularly, and when there I’ve been working hard, we’ve done lots of short distances in an attempt to build strength and speed. I ran the Sleaford Half-Marathon in 1:40.51 which I was happy with. I actually forgot to take my watch so just ran at a good pace and tried to up the pace for last couple of miles. Following that race I ran the rescheduled Nene Valley Ten – a ten-miler in 73.30 – was very happy with that.
Still deciding whether or not to enter the Grantham Half later in the month.
As for stuff….
Frank Turner tour announced last Monday, and after a panic ridden day of venues selling out within 24 hours, I bagged a couple of tickets for the Cambridge gig in May. Woop woop! To celebrate…
Also on the music front, still no nearer deciding on a festival for the summer – Cambridge Folk Festival is currently top of the list.
Been making a point recently of trying to catch-up on all the fantastic blogs online from tweeps – hence the need for an ipad2!! Check out any of the blogs on the blogroll – most make interesting reads (especially if you are interested in education and teaching).
Tonsurephobia, blogs and running…
This project365 thingy is going well, at least it means that a piture will posted each day, even if the blogs run dry. Although if it wasn’t for the Blackberry it would be a struggle – I love that I can take a picture and update blog by email – how cool is that?!
After posting a picture of myself for project365 #9 I have decided that a visit to the hairdressers is in order. I will be booking an appointment for the weekend that way I will not bottle out. I will break from the hold of this terrible disorder…tonsurephobia.
On a lighter note, Helen has finally started her own blog…she will be taking part in project365 as well as the occasional blog: www.churchy365.wordpress.com
Finally, the running bug has got me again…big effort this year to get some PBs. The postponed Nene Valley 10 takes place towards the end of February and I plan to complete a couple of half-marathons in the spring – maybe even an actual marathon, Nottingham, Leicester??? Still to decide.
New Year Resolutions
After much deliberation I have decided on the following New Year Resolutions:
- Keep a blog (hence this)
- Pick up guitar more often
- Watch less TV
- Run 10k under 40mins
Wish me luck!
Hello world!
These are my attempts to begin AND continue with a blog.
