Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

I was out running this evening around the streets of Carmarthen accompanied by a little rain. Normally I'd steer away from cold, wet conditions but as of late I've felt quite inspired to break the mould. It was a good run, nothing too far but probably the furthest this year. My running is definitely coming along well and I'm growing in confidence each day. I'm looking forward to future developments and my attempt's at accomplishing some of my running life goals.

My Back is 'S' Shaped

The start of my new year took on the same running order as it did 2 years ago. I lift something simple as I do everyday (My son) and pulled something in my back. By the end of the day my spine was 'S' shaped and one leg about 2 inches longer than the other. My hips were dropped on the one side and it hurt to do anything but lay down.

The GP gave me anti-inflammatories that might help ease things if the problem was related to a muscle spasm, other than that they were confused how I could have done this only on Tuesday, they were convinced it must have been done over many years... but anyway.

It's now Sunday, 6 days after things went pear shaped and I'm looking a bit straighter now. I think sometime next week I should be back to normal, but until then I'll be continuing with my lower back stretches and exercises and taking what ever non-sense medication the GP gave me. I should then be able to get back to running, cycling and doing all the great things I intend to do in 2012!

First Run of 2012

James King - First Run of 2012With the start of the new year, new month, new day I had to follow tradition and start something new myself. Running was on the cards and today was the day for it!
Though I had been running before, it had been quite some time since I was last out. So I felt I was starting from scratch again and I couldn't be too ambitious on my first outing.
I had plenty of new kit to break in as well, my Asics Nimbus 13 running shoes, Brooks run jacket, Nike trousers and Run24 running shirt. All fresh out the packet it was a shame to get them dirty, though my son, who's weeks away from being one laughed at me as I stood there looking like a bright yellow beacon.

I shall work out a running schedule and keep progressing on my fitness to hopefully fore fill some of my running life goals.

Father Christmas was good to me

I must have been a good boy this year as all my new running kit arrived, including my new Asics Gel Nimbus 13 trainers in Yellow and Black.

I can now target a few of my running life goals and further develop towards some other sports & adventure goals. I look forward to getting out on the road.

Website Re-Styled for 2012

I've recently re-styled the website with a few tweaks and better layout. It should load quicker and be easier to navigate, two key elements to a worthy website. Hopefully I wont change my mind again in a few weeks time, though I'm still not happy with the home page layout, but what's new there?

30 Something

I was speaking with a friend the other day who reminded me that next year, 2012 I will be 30 years ...young!" So we both thought it was be comical to do 30 something's to commemorate the occasion. Ideas were thrown around from running 30 miles, kayaking 30 miles, sky diving 30 times, sky diving 30 times while drinking a shot of tequila each time, not talk to anyone for 30 hours and so on. I posted a Facebook Poll to get some feedback and received some rather strange and wild ideas. I will think more about this and perhaps add a new poll on my facebook fan page in coming weeks. Feel free to express your own ideas, by hitting the 'Like' button above and visiting my fan page. - 10 December 2011
