Despite my laptops best efforts I have finally finished my blog from our trip to Slovakia.
Yes despite the shambles of Euro 2016 most of us packed up our bags and headed out for the first World Cup Qualifier

23rd October - Great South Run 10 miles (Southsea and Portsmouth)
19th November - Windsor and Eaton Half Marathon
26th February - Brighton Half Marathon
19th March - Cyprus...
You know you can do it. Find a nice pretty young lady to run behind for several miles, takes you mind off the actual running! I have every belief that you can do it. Diet, I cut down on bread and like #Guinness Boy cut out red meat and basically ate chicken. I also drastically virtually cut...
Was there a couple of weeks ago for the Reykjavik marathon. Superb place, stunning....and the prices are eyewatering - £8 a pint, £4+ a coffee or tea. Food also expensive. However I would go back.
Things I would say are a must (other than the northern lights which we did not see as wrong...

Still the best England game I have ever been to! Off to Slovakia via Hungry tonight and then a boat down teh Danube and back from Vienna! England away, yes the team may be **** but you cant beat the fun and games.
Morning all. I am now back from Iceland having run the Reykjavik marathon on Saturday. As many people will know by previous marathon PB was 5.14 and I had been training hard (and following weight watchers) for the last few months as I was determined to break the 5 hour barrier. All my...
Down Tow Up Flow half marathon for me today. Windsor to Marlow, nearly all along the Thames, a fab place to run. Towpath was a bit rough, bumpy, tree roots and narrow in places and 2 lots of steps up and down to two bridges to cross the Thames. It was very humid and I do struggle with cups of...
A great event last night , really enjoyed it. Nice to not be on a long long training run! Happy to be the NSC snail, seeing the times of the others spurs me on.
I managed a PB of 52.19, so very happy with that. Like the look of the 1066 run, will look at entering that one (need to check my...
I will be there but legs carrying many miles as only just over 5 weeks to the Reykjavik marathon! Guess I will have to step up from my 11 minute mile training pace :-)
Your talking bollocks mate.Wait for the facts to come out before you judge them. Glad you have reached your conclusion without being there or having seen what happened? Are you a magistrate of football liaison Officer, you seam to have the perfect credentials!
As a footballing nation it deserves the WC, but at the moment I honestly do not think it would safe to travel to Russia. Anyway once we have qualified with a 100% record I will make a decision! I cant believe our next away friendly will be v France in Paris! They really are rubbing our noses...
Indeed see you on Wednesday. Another long run for me on Sunday (20+) so not sure how good my speed will be for a 10k!
Anyway my final word on this is that I have been contacted by several England fans who witnessed what happened and they have come forward to me tonight and said they will give...
Very sad to see Brighton fans condemning and slagging off fellow Brighton fans without knowing the facts or having been there to witness what happened.
I like the way people say they would have moved away, sometimes when you come under attack like many England fans did, its a split second...
No as I missed the 2 friendlies in the US before the World Cup in Brazil. Slovakia was my 116 away game with England, 198 in total. It did break my record of seeing every qualifier and tournament matches for Euro 2016 (5 home 5 away 3 tournament matches). Anyway next game is Slovakia away, all...
Decided to do my blog whilst sitting and watching the game we could have been playing in!

We had good fun even if we were **** on the pitch.
Happy viewing
Worthing 10k was hot hot hot but managed a new PB @ 53.28 so 60 seconds inside my previous PB at Horsham a few weeks ago! Delighted with that! Even quite like one of the free official pictures :-)
