I'm doing the Great Edinburgh Run (10k) at the start of October which I'm slightly worried about. I have run 10k on my own before, but I've never taken part in one of these organised races and I fear I'll get carried along at a unsustainable pace for the first kilometre and then suffer for it later on in the race. I've been doing some training, but I'm still not as fit as I used to be a couple of years ago when I was refereeing. The course looks a bit hilly too, which I suppose is par for the course in Edinburgh.

I'm doing the race for my own fitness as much as anything, but decided I should try to raise some money for charity too, so feel free to sponsor me if you want.

I'm playing in a 5s tournament at 9 o'clock. It's bloody freezing and it's not stopped raining all day. I thought I'd share the fact I'm going to get bloody soaked with you all.

I'm trying to talk a guy in Johannesburg through connectiong up some new Cisco kit, and it's not going well.

In fact 5 and a half hours in and he's still not got the one cable I've asked him to plug in in the right place :(

We're positively flying now!!! Cables have now either accidentally or by design been plugged in the right place and I can basically tell him to f**k off for a break whilst I finsih off.

And my half price Dominos just turned up. Result

I actually woke up fucking raging at the result. Took me until after my shower to calm down.

The missus asked me what the f**k was wrong with me :lol:

Waking up raging! That's excellent! The worst I had was when I dreamt that Aberdeen equalised against QotS in THAT semi final then went on to win 6-4 AET then beat Rangers 2-0 in the final. I was sitting on top of the world! Then I woke up and actually just thought to myself "for f**k sake!" <_<

I once dreamt Rovers played Ayr United on some Island thing where the ground was totally normal but there was a moat between stand and pitch we went two nil down and I wanted to leave but it turned out there was a moat behind the stand back to dry land and the boats didnt leave until full time so I went back and then we had scored 3 to take the lead and I had missed them all, with about ten minutes to go I got subbed on at centre half and we won the game. True story.

Everything seems to be pointing to me having Glandular Fever, and I can't even get a fucking doctor's appointment to confirm it.

I thought I it was the flu two weeks ago, I still don't feel like I'm getting better. My stomach hurts like hell, I'm tired all the time and my muscles ache, which becomes ten times worse after exercise, the front of my throat hurts as does my head whenever I swallow, appetite's shot, and I'm sleeping straight after work, even though I'm not the napping type.

Either the subconcious hyper-chrondraic in me is playing a blinder, or I'm fucked!

I was looking at old family photos from when I was wee the other day. There's a few when I was in holiday in Dubai and it's quite different to what it is now! The speed at which the place has changed - going by what I've seen on TV, etc - is astonishing.

Michael Palin visited in 1988 in Around the World in 80 Days. It's like a completely different city by the looks of it.

BBC Sportsound's very own Richard Gordon just sponsored me for £25. Top man. Pressure is really on now.
