Training – 5th January 2019

I think I’ve found a rhythm in my running now. It’s a slower pace than I used to have (6:45min/km) but I can maintain it.

Training – 3rd January 2019

Decided to try doing a slower pace today — and made it around 4km without dropping to a walk. This was 1.5 laps around my local park. Next one will be two laps (which should also take me to 5km)

 

 

WordPress and Twitter

I wondered why I didn’t enable auto-sharing to Twitter from WordPress,

Then I remembered, that method only puts the title of your blog entry, plus an embedded link. Unless you have a really informative blog title, I don’t think it works.

Instead, I use IFTTT, but have to remember to either add a picture somewhere in the post or manually shre it through force checking the IFTTT applets.

Happy New Year 2019

A happy new year to the readers still following this blog. I’ve been slacking off posting for a while now. Hopefully should rectify that this year.

Will start blogging my attempts at getting back into shape with the intention of retrying going for the Royal Parks Half Marathon.

Current weight, 12st 0lbs.

Training – 25th December 2018

Yes, running on Christmas Day. A shortish one. It was pretty dead in my local village, with pretty much all the shops closed except for the Fruit + Veg store.

Have a great Christmas Day, everyone ! :)

Training – 22nd December 2018

First time road-running 5km for a while, and did drop to a walk a few times, especially going up the hill.

Average pace 06:28min/km, and Strava says I’m gradually getting faster on this route (which is good)

Not A One-Trick Pony….

Who knew that Gwyneth Paltrow could sing?

And damn well, too.

She’s one of a select few Hollywood actors who can do a pretty fine job of singing too. Some other notables include

Kate Winslet

Hugh Jackman — who spent time in Broadway, so he’s probably got a bit of an unfair advantage to those who started in acting initially, but still, he definitely knows how to belt out a song

Not to forget also, Joaquin Phoenix

Here’s a WatchMojo list I found while rummaging for videos. Who knew?
