Cheers for organising again knocky1 , and to my team for bearing with me and running the final leg at my pace, cheers big nuts. It was nice running with much much faster runners, how do you all make it look so easy! I was puffing like a steam train all the way round ( I am blaming that on my...

I was never a big fan of Springsteen until I saw him live. He brings the songs to life when he is singing them. The Devils and Dust gig at the Royal Albert Hall (2005) is up there with the best gigs I have been to. His vocal range and ability is stunning, if not the best. . Last time I saw...

This ground was featured in 4-4-2 last month, has to be one of the most unique stadium designs - Bursaspor in Turkey

Excellent looking forward to it. Just noticed that everyone else is a little quicker than me, will bring some roller skates!! See you all Wednesday. I will come along with Ben Elton's Brother after work.

Had a great weekend of running doing the Liverpool RNR HM and then the Vitality London 10k yesterday, However the highlight of the weekend was doing the Crosby Park Run. A very unique PR which starts on the beach and you run around 4 of the Antony Gormley Iron Man statues. They are bizzare...

Ohhhh not done this for a while, I am around on the 19th June. I need to go in the snail paced team please. Its three days before the midnight sun marathon in Tromso will be nice to go at a faster pace for a much much shorter distance!

I guess these are the same people that said we didnt deserve to stay up because we played dull boring park the bus football, unlike unlucky Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield who at least gave it a go! I believe we have lost the love in factor many had with us because of the Archer years and the...

Yep I have my shorts on and read to go! No how idea how they control the numbers or as I do should everyone accept that its the luck of the draw. It would be interesting to see how many who get a place via the ballot fail to run. I have been watching the debate about the treatement of the...

I see only 457,861 have entered the VLM ballot this time round!

I remember quite a few of our supporters being in the Villa end when we could have lifted the Championship trophy, didn't hear many saying they should be thrown out. This is like the Blackadder sketch Darling: So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshal Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these...

Did the Hove Prom Park Run on Saturday and achieved a new PB 23.17 63.35%. Enjoyed pushing it as hard as I could, next time I need sub 23!!!! Then in the afternoon did the Dark Star 7k, a great friendly run with no official times, but a nice trail run. The beer and food after were excellent...

I did the Mid Sussex Marathon over the bank holiday - thoroughly enjoyed it again, despite the hills! All good training for RTTS which is 9 weeks on Saturday. The EG 10 miler was 653 feet of climbing, HH 10 miler then 776 feet and finally the BH10k was 413 feet, so a total of 1,842 feet (for...

Will we finally get a non Tory local councillor in Mid Sussex? Last time the Tory party won 54/54. Only a few results in so far but 5/5 for the Tory party. Last time the Green candidate in High Weald (my area) was not that far behind.

Morning all. I love the Brighton marathon weekend and for me it was capped off nicely by a 14 minute PB. In my head I had 1 main target which was sub 4.20 as wanted to average under @10 minute miles. I planned to start in front of the 4.15 pacers and amazingly for me I managed to keep them...

Bring it on......I have taper madness so need to run run run run! Hope to see you all Sunday pre-race in Preston Park by the thunderbird 3 shaped clock tower thing :-) I enjoyed my final long run which was the AW20 when Knocky pipped me in the final mile........git............I finished in...

What another fantastic weekend, I thought beating Palace last week would be the highlight of the season, but minutes 88-95 and then the penalties matched that yesterday! I did my final long slow run on Saturday for a change, with the marathon just 4 weeks away I wanted to keep the pace...

What a brilliant day Saturday. It all started for me by going up early to do the South Norwood Park Run. It is a gem in a really really deprived part of Croydon, a PR that I would definitely recommend, but perhaps when it hasnt been raining quite so much. Mostly off road on footpaths but...

Yes indeed it was big nuts , still get NSC names mixed up with real names! I did Worthing PR Saturday, clocked in with 23.43 (again) to match my PB from last year, so close! I did however get a PB for the age-graded score of 62.19% as getting older! Saturday I think I am going to do the South...

I waited for the PB table to be updated before posting - snigger! Sunday was fab, I took a massive gamble to try and go with the 1.45 pace runners, I never run sub 8 minute miles but my first 6 on Sunday read as 7.53, 7.59, 7.55, 7.55, 7.56 & 7.58. As I hit about 6.5 miles I know why they say...

Sorry not been on NSC for ages! I am looking forward to the Brighton HM on Sunday. I have my plans for the year hopefully mapped out, my main races coming soon are the Brighton HM next week, the Sussex Trails AW20 (20 miles) on the 31st March, ready for the Brighton Marathon on the 14th April...
