Be able to run 10 miles (read all 2 entries…)

Right. 8 months ago

After a spell out of running due to injury, I’m going back to this. Trying to get some miles in during the weeks then do a long run at the weekend. Did 8 miles last weekend, though the last half mile hurt a bit :)

Aim: to be able to run 10 miles comfortably by about June. That will be good prep for running the half marathon in September.

keep my new cactus plant alive. (read all 3 entries…)

Spike is going strong. 10 months ago

Spike currently appears to be a healthy cactus. Clearly cacti are the correct kind of plant to grow in this flat.

keep my new cactus plant alive. (read all 3 entries…)

Hooray, Spike is still alive. 10 months ago

Despite my having been away for a couple of weeks over Christmas, Spike the cactus still appears to be going strong. He shows no signs of flowering, but no signs of dying either. I count this as a success so far in my new plant-keeping venture.
