Isak donates!

March 10, 2008

Isak Dammann has donated to the just cause!  Thanks a lot to him and his family for the support.  Shelter has now released a movie on the subject of overcrowding.

The thousands of families trapped in overcrowded housing in Britain report huge strains on their relationships.

According to Shelter’s research, one in ten overcrowded households has teenagers of the opposite sex sleeping in the same room. In Trapped, we see how awkward it is for Molly when she gets her period in the room she shares with her brother Jack.

And adults often have no privacy either, as Trapped shows when the parents have to share a bed with the younger children to give Molly some space. This creates friction and destroys relationships.

Watch the film here: http://trapped.keystothefuture.org.uk/film/

New Year - new coffee - New SHOWER

January 2, 2008

Ahhhhhhh…. nothing like waking up and you know in the back of your mind that you can go and take a shower….. A NORWEGIAN SHOWER…. i.e. Power shower with water that doesn’t smell of chlorine. Sorry for saying this my English friends. By the way - you have much better beer and you have Salt & Vinegar crisps

…. sitting here zippin some coffee waiting for break of dawn.

Today I need to buy those golden running shoes that is going to take me through these next three months and then hopefully through the London Marathon.

New Years Eve - any resolutions?

December 31, 2007

After Great Run 2007 Hyde Park HI -  2007 is soon coming to a close.  Its been a good year for me - I have completed some runs - however just small ones and the 10k Greatrun in Hyde Park being the longest.   I need to step it up for 2008 and the Marathon.      A little scary.

 I need to get some proper running shoes as well as setting up some good routines for warming up- stretching as well as knowing when to rest.  Otherwise I ll end up injured and I wont have any fun at the end of April 13th.

Tomorrow. Its the day when it all starts.
