I’m not really a runner these days

Over the last few years, specifically 2012-2015, I’ve been doing more running. I started because a colleague inspired me when she told me about her first 10k. If she can do it then so can I so I added it to my rather informal bucket list: do a 10k and finish within an hour.

Cycling to nowhere

It seems to be getting worse and the evidence is the buoyant business at stores like Rutland Cycles. More and more people are getting with the Lycra, buying expensive bikes and cycling round in circles. They’re not going anywhere but they’re getting miles in their legs. I guess it’s good for them, builds stamina, works the heart, develops muscle condition and increases lung capacity, but many of them don’t seem to lose much weight.

I’m not a great fan of football these days although you can’t avoid it and I did watch most of the more important world cup days. However I did grow up an avid fan, especially of non-league football of the Welsh variety, click here for more about that. Nowadays if it’s a choice I’d prefer the oval ball but mid-August the rugby season has, mercifully, not yet started.

Every month I write a monthly report. I do it because I’m a county councillor and it keeps the parish councils in my division up to date with what I do. I finish every report with a personal item. I thought you might like to read the one I wrote yesterday. You can read the full monthly report (not recommended) at www.davidjenkins.org.uk.
