  1. Been suffering from a nasty cold since Saturday. Spent all of Sunday and Monday in bed, but was back at school today and out for a easy 2.5 mile jog tonight.

    This distance isn't anywhere close to a challenge but I struggled big time. I've clearly not fully recovered and have rushed my return.

    I'll take tomorrow off, make sure the cold has completely cleared up before trying again on Thursday.

  2. I started running in October. I took two overdoses at the end of September, one of which could have killed me. I also had over 100 self inflicted cuts to my leg. My therapist put me on a contract of safety (shes worked with me on and off for years and if I break this contract shes cutting all contact with me which would be devastating)  and I had to look at safe ways of coping with my borderline personality disorder, anxiety and depression. 

    So I pulled on my trainers, signed up for the winter 5k and started running.....slowly. The buzz I got from completing each section of c25k and then a couple of days ago when I did my first 5k was much better and healthier than the release I was getting from hurting myself.

     

    2014 aims:

     

    Not embarass myself a week on Saturday. 

    10k in May, going to run for SANDS as my friend had a stillborn a couple of weeks ago.

    Great Scottish 10k in October

    Run my bpd back into remission! 

    Fantastic, Rowan.

    An inspiration to many. Keep up the good work, mate.

  3. Stolen from a recipe book - "the five minute pizza". Cover a tortilla wrap with tomato purée, tear up some ham (or any kind of cold meat really), sprinkle with some oregano, and cover with grated cheese, and pop under the grill at the highest heat for 2 minutes. Nice and simple, and can be done with any topping really.

    I have this regularly as a small afternoon snack.

    I would highly recommend it.

  4. Boxing Day run is always a tough one after the amount of food you eat on Christmas Day. Enjoyable regardless, though.

    Set myself a new program when running along the splash (1M): jog to the first bench, then sprint to the second, followed by ten push-ups on said bench. Do that the whole way along. Must be, easily, about 30/35 benches across the mile so it's not easy. Absolute monster of a task, but you feel fantastic by the end.

  5. Good appointment.

    The pressure is obviously on him straight away, though. The results will have to come immediately if we want to survive, but Kenny will give the boys the kick up the backside they need. His success at Kilmarnock will stand him in good stead, and I think the Morton fans will take to him fairly quickly. That all depends on the results though, I suppose.

    Dougie Imrie, Nacho Novo and Kenny Shiels all in the same team? No-one likes us, we don't care.

  6. It would appear that Allan Moore has signed a contract which states that, if he can guide us to the play-offs this season, he will be rewarded with a new one-year deal. Very bizzare.

    EDIT: It would now appear Moore has signed a new one-year deal, and if we can reach the play-offs this season, he'll be handed a further year, seeing him stay at the club till the end of the 2015/16 season.

  7. 3 wee lads have came to my door so far tonight. Utterly shite jokes, as expected. The fourth wee lad came in. Shit costume, but as ever, I sat down and let the wee guy deliver his joke.

    "Knock Knock."

    I looked at him as if to say "FFS wee man, a knock knock joke? Really? A wee bit of originality wouldn't go a miss." Being the pure good guy I am though, I replied with the standard:

    "Who's there?"

    He proceeded by saying:

    "Rangers."

    Now, this caught my attention. A joke? About Rangers? Yaldy. Batter on wee man; save this horrific night by ripping the shit out of the late deceased, Glasgow Rangers. With so much excitement built up inside me, I responded with:

    "Rangers who?"

    The anticipation was huge, as I waited for the young lads responce. C'mon lad, I believe in you. He took a breath, looked me in the eye and winked, before saying:

    "Exactly."

    OOOFFFTTTIIIIEEEEESSSSS! Take all the sweets, lad. You've earned it. Legend.
