Seaford Half Marathon - 5th June 2005

[Sweder]

Ah, Brother Andy, beware the lure of Little Nicky Horne . . .
Yes, I use a portable digital radio. The best for the past year has been the Roberts RD-4. A little bulky (about the size/ weight of a Blackberry) but it fits perfectly into the zip pocket on my Nathan water belt and has a signal lock button to keep you tuned in/ stop unplanned volume adjustments caused by erratic plodding/ occasional hand-banging.

I reckon some of the tunes on there'll get your speed up. Clinical trials (OK, me plodding about) have shown consistently faster circuit times with PR than without.

Whilst I'm here I should report/ confess I have no plans to run Seaford Half tomorrow. My chest is cleared up but I spent a couple of hours in the smoky, alcoholic company of Girlschool at the Mean Fiddler last night; a great leap back in time for me, not so hot for immediate running prospects.

To cap that I'm planning an evening of Guinness testing in Lewes in the inestimable company of SP and Tim G tonight.

Lock up your Grandmas . . .
