Geek Cool

Last night, I went for my third training run and boy was it cold ... so cold, in fact, that I came close to inverting 'down under' and becoming an Emily!!

Thankfully, I had a little foresight to pop into George* on the way home and pick up a pair of jogging pants for the princely sum of £3! Bargain!!

I decided to wrap up reasonably warm with my North Face fleece, even though I knew I was going to sweat buckets, reasoning that I could always take it off if I got too hot ... which I invariably did.

It didn't stay off for too long though as the cold got to my nipples and made them harder than Vinnie Jones: it was like I was wearing mini Madonna-cones under my shirt. Good job there was nobody around at that time of night or I could have taken a few eyes out!!

Since Sunday, I have been browsing around trying to find wigs for Biker Betty's birthday this weekend. The theme: wigs and hats.

I had gotten the selection down to two, but couldn't decide between either ... so bought them both! Well, they weren't that expensive so figured why not? They're bound to come in useful at some point.

Of the two wigs on order, I realised that one of them would not fit with any of the clothes I have in my wardrobe ... well, stacked on the bed as the wardrobe is full of suits and jackets ... which meant looking for something appropriate to go with it.

So I ordered myself a Jedi robe!!!

When my friend, RoadRunner, found out, she wanted pics, which I duly obliged. I have a horrible feeling that it may haunt me, so I thought I'd best get in there first with this one**:


I know, I know, they didn't wear jeans and loafers on Mos Eisley, but its the best I could do at a moment's notice!!


*IT'S A SHOP! Nothing to do with sex changes or the likes!

Gadgets and Widgets

Well, training for the Great North Run hasn't gone quite according to plan, but last night I did succeed in setting up the gadgets and widgets for tracking my training :-) I had refrained from getting sucked into the Nike and iPod combo, but the lure of glossy tech and the trendy adverts sucked me in and spat me out the other side, complete with green iPod Nano , Nike Shox Arraw trainers, a slick black'n'red Nike armband , Nike+ shoe widget thingy and a cool black-and-white shirt designed by a closet sci-fi costume designer*. Admittedly, the shirt is going to remain in the drawer for the time being as it currently emphasises my spare tyre and man boobs which, lets face it, isn't the prettiest site to be running round these parts. Then again, certainly not the ugliest, either! The calibration of the Nike kit was a bit annoying. After having calibrated for a 1.05 mile run I then tried to calibrate a walk for the same distance, only be told halfway around that the di

The final week in the run up to the South West Coast-to-Coast is here and, in less than a week, I will be starting my first UltraChallenge in order to raise money for Crohn's and Colitis UK . Since doing the massive 32 mile training walk a month ago, I have been able to get out for shorter walks once or twice a week, which have been steadily getting longer.   On Saturday, I managed 12.37 miles in a decent 3 hours 39 minutes, though with the wrong choice of shoes, which left me with blisters and sore feet.  It really made me appreciate how good my boot and sock combo is! Oh, and underwear.  Having walked in normal boxers and suffered the chafed consequences for a day or so, I ended up buying a couple of pair of SAXX Boxer Briefs .  I'm generally not one for buying expensive undies and feel that even £22 for 3 pair of boxers is somewhat extortionate.  However, if you want to feel like the family jewels are in good hands and you want to be able to shower after without feeling lik
