14 Degrees: Japan to London by Recumbent Bicycle

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

“THE IDEA is to cycle on a recumbent bicycle from Pusan in Korea, to London, ensuring that the route stays between 38 and 52 degrees north. Easier said than done. The biggest challenge facing Rob Thomson won’t be the 4500m passes on the Pamir Highway (highway ‘on the roof of the world’), the fermented horse’s milk in Kyrgyzstan, the scorching heat in western China, or the frigid mid-winter crossing of the Swiss Alps.” - www.14degrees.org

My First Run…

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Having just participated in my first competitive road race, I feel proud.

The race was 10,000m and I achieved 43 Min. I have trained for this event only 5 times and never with a club or group. Of the 102 competitors in the event, I came in just under 50′th place. I expected worse - the majority of the runners seemed to be practised.

I have been invited to continue with a running club and meet once a week to train. I never imagined I would be doing this.

Cheers,

Kenny
