5k

At long last I did a 5k run. It has been a very long time since I had gone that far. It took 29:15 which is not a great time but it was pretty easy and I had no problems with my knee so that is great!!

It was great to be out in the fresh air but the mystery puddles made the going very wet!

Today I will be running in the gym so I hope there are less puddles although in my gym it's not guaranteed

Mind your language

Since I left school I have become really interested in learning languages. I have done some German and Norwegian which I really enjoyed. I intend to do some more classes later in the year.

Check out the BBC website. There is a whole section on learning languages. The French one is great. It will help most people. I've had a quick look at the German one too.

Is there anything that site doesn't do?

Depressing

Have a read of this. It's about how the Earth may evolve after humans have gone. It is creepy and poignant.

Nature just keeps on truckin'

Blogging

I've been pretty slack lately with my posting but it is because I have been so busy. I've been at wedding's, in Norway, back running and generally tired.

I am going to take it up a notch over the next few weeks and put the effort in.

So keep coming back as there will be better posts happening more and more often!

Running Again

I got out running again last night. It's the second time in the last 2 weeks. I ran 2k in 11:06 last week and then last night I ran 3k in 16:56.

The time wasn't great but I got through it without any problems with my knee and my lungs felt fine.

Hopefully I can pick it up to 5k in the next week or so.

Cantona is a legend

I read today that Eric Cantona is fronting the Homeless Worldcup. It's great to see that not all footballers live in their ivory towers oblivious to what is going on in the world.

Well done Eric!
