Another 5 mile run and no foot problems

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Monday’s easy 4 mile run was a nice confidence boost after being out injured for 2 weeks for a foot issue, so after an uneventful 30 minute bike workout last night, I was hoping for another run with no problems.
It would also be a good chance to try out new running shoes I’d bought […]

Wordpress YouTube Plugin: Viper’s Video Quicktags

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

Usually I’m not one to post videos, but yesterday I couldn’t resist publishing the very popular YouTube movie “The Attack of the Killer Tortoise“.

Is that my R56 MINI Cooper S ticking?

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I’ve owned my 2007 MINI Cooper S for just over 6 weeks. Aside from one issue with the “Check Engine Light” coming on, it’s been a fantastic car - tons of fun and a joy to drive.
I’m still breaking it in at the moment and wondered if that had anything to do with the […]

3 cool current competitions

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Who doesn’t love a competition? Who doesn’t love to be a winner? Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing? (well not quite nothing, but you get the idea)
Currently there are several online competitions doing the rounds. Here, in no particular order, are 3 of the best:

A first time for everything - I’ve been tagged

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

This morning I was surprised to find I’d been tagged by a fellow BlogCatalog member 7Confessions. I’ve never been “tagged” before, but it looks like a harmless link exchange idea with a “Why I blog” theme attached to it.
Without further ado, here are the rules:
1. The person who was tagged will just have to make […]
