Name:
Location: Inverness, Scotland

I'm a Brit/Yank who has now settling back in Scotland with wife Tracy after living in New Zealand and traveling in Australia for a couple of years. Having contributed random thoughts on life in the Antipodes I now blog some impressions of returning to my native Scotland after 22 years away, and also document my marathon training to keep myself motivated. I post pictures at www.timcooke.com which also help to tell the story of our travels.

More Running Nonsense

In a clear demonstration of compulsive behavior or stupidity I finished the Wanganui Harrier Club season today by running a half marathon despite hobbling for the last 2 days on a painfully bruised ankle. It was more painful raising the foot than landing so a good dose of Ibuprofen meant the run wasn't too bad but I'm back limping around on an even sorer leg now. Good thing we have an automatic car, pressing a clutch would be a real chore.

For the record I ran 1 hour 24m 08s which was great, 5km breakdowns were 19m 32s, 20m 0s, 20m 23s and 19m 56s. The course was half the Wanganui Marathon course, which I'll hopefully run on 8th December.
