The Running Man


Didn`t i just say I wasn`t going to talk about music? Last year I released my first EP entitled `The Running man`. It`s a bit of play on my surname ( as all forthcoming releases will be ) but the other reason is that I am a running man. I don my trainers on a regular basis, wear some cool running gear, have been socially accepted, ok just accepted into a local club, have competed and actually finished races, won medals and try to pretend I`m Steve Cram whilst getting chased by a pack of dogs or sometimes Deer!!

Oh the joys of running, as much as it`s changed my life, there is nothing more irritating than something trying to knaw at your leg or tailgate you while your trying to give everyone the impression that you`re seriously training for the next olympics.

We have a real mindset between us runners, we always say hello or display a respectful nod to our fellow legmen ( or women ) We know the score man, peace love and injuries, reminds me of when I had a Beetle and used to wave and flash headlights at fellow Beetle drivers as a mark of respect for being on the same wavelength.The reality was, we just happened to own the same car but it would never have worked with a ford Capri.

The painful picture of me above is yours truly just about to finish my first half marathon last year.Can you see the elation or rather relief on my face of hitting that finish, nothing quite like it though and a mars bar never tasted so good. I`m sure the ladies will be flocking......the opposite way.
