Thirty-something (do not ask!) now, I was born in Portslade, classically educated all over the place, and am now back in Portslade (for the past 3 years) following 12 years in London, living in a house 5 doors from the one I grew up in. Two-time marathon runner...no, sorry...two-time marathon finisher (London, 2005 and 2008), I told myself 'never again' on both occasions. And now I have a place in 2010's inaugural Brighton marathon. I'll be blogging about this lot of preparation (for previous instalments, PLEASE visit my old blog at www.leecolgate.blogspot.com - it's quite funny), living and working (above Jamie Oliver, if you please. I KNOW!) in Brighton and general musings on life. In between posts, get little teeny snapshots of my latest state-of-mind if you like - follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/leecolgate.

What a difference a week makes
Sorry to dwell, but I was there a week ago, and have you seen this weekend's forecast?

First weekday morning run in the UK
Time change on my return from Spain, then another because it's now...winter, is it?...and the world's gone mad. Evenings are too dark for running now. So suddenly.

Last day of holiday
Yes, I know we're back at home, but nevertheless. Healthy start, but don't expect huge sparkle, motivation or engagement in the office tomorrow, you know what I mean?

I did a run yesterday
It seems longer ago, though. Spain was gorgeous and the UK frankly isn't and it seems a bit unreal that you can get from one to the other as quickly as we apparently managed today. Hey ho.

Long run done. Sorry I'm late.
A glorious early morning run on the Vera / Garrucha / Mojacar playa stretch again. A bit late writing about it, but I don't care!

Still doing it - but have I cheated somewhere?
Actually, who cares. A Fartlek today. In a hilly place. Untarmacadamed. Around midday. How wrong could it go?

In a properly hot country, GET UP EARLY TO GO RUNNING
Only half an hour today, but it almost killed me. Heat and hills. OMFG.

First run on the Spanish beaches - oh, the hardship
Sometimes it's actually not so bad being me, you know

A glorious Autumn evening - where did that come from?
The weather's gone all schizo, but I'm not complaining. It gave me a chance to get another run in, in nice conditions. And a GORGEOUS sunset.
