Only managed a 7 mile cycle to work today. Had all good intentions to run home, but the weather hit Manchester and I wussed out, getting a lift with my Revenue Manager (Wuss!). I was disappointed though as I had picked up my Brooks project running shoes, trialling out the new Pure Grit for the … Continue reading Windswept & Brooks project shoes Pure Grit – Day 30 Janathon

I normally deal with this by keeping my nails trimmed … Continue reading Toenail issues Day 24 Janathon
