EndoCare HQ

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

This weekend I ran 20km from Hammersmith, all the way along the Thames to Kew Gardens. It was one of those beautiful days that make you glad to be alive. This time I didn’t have Christos accompanying me all the way. Thanks to his dodgy hip he won’t be running the marathon with me either, but he has, very kindly, offered to ride alongside me on his bicycle. So, I’m all fired up for the big event in two weeks time!

In other news, EndoCare now has a new Head Quarters on Paddington Street. After waiting for three months we finally got the keys on Friday. It might be no more than a small, empty room but it will serve as a perfect base for all our administrative tasks, meetings and planning sessions.

Today was one of those mornings when you just can’t drag yourself out of bed. I woke up at 6.30am – and with two weeks to go until the big day – looked at my clock and fell straight back to sleep.

Ok, this week’s blog may not be marathon related, but at least it’s true to life.

Michael 2 – Personal Trainer 0

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Last weekend I managed my longest run so far all the way to the thriving business district that is Canary Wharf.

Suffering under the strain of a persistent injury, yet again my personal trainer had to give up after 25km and catch the tube home, while I carried on going for six more kilometres and managed to beat him back by the same number of minutes. Either this proves just how slow the tubes really are or else demonstrates just how fast I can run!

The bank holiday weekend promises to be a tough one as I’m aiming to cover 35km – the longest training session before the real event. Fingers crossed for a snow and injury free day.
