Running Free...

Saturday morning in Beirut was fun... we (Wissam, Omar & I) ran the first 15k of the new track and it was awesome... it is flat... even for tired out runners like me!

Today (Monday) all seems a little mundane... we were in Batroun on Friday morning working on the race for May 20th and in Zahle on Friday evening for the preparations of the April 15th Race...

HOT NEWS... we are going to be supporting two other races in Lebanon... one on 25th March and one on 1st April...

I'll give you more news soon...
cheers

Scotland... & Paris Security

Kenenisa Bekele did what he has been doing for a very long time... winning..

Watching an elite athlete at the peak of his career is inspiring and exciting... it makes you dream...

We had a fabulous time as guests of Nova, the organizers of the Great North Run... we met the worlds greatest athletes and saw them tear up the Scottish Cross Country Races... it was massively windy... but it was an awesome experience

However... security in Paris makes no sense at all. you have alredy been strip searched in the UK, then as a transit passenger you are subjected to the whole performance all over again... more wild than that... you are allowed to buy a drink in the UK after you have passed security and you are allowed to take that drink on the plane with you... BUT you are not allowed to take that drink with you through security in Paris... go figure!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe there is a deal between the duty free drink sales and the security company... anything is possible...

keep on running!!!!

introducing my lovely wife

well, I talked about her a lot... so here she is...

Bonnie Scotland - here we come...

Close on the heels of the BMA morning run, the first one of 07 was today... we are off to Scotland to see the Scottish National Cross Country Championships...

Steve Cram and Brendan Foster will both be there, as will some of the greatest names in the world: including Kenenisa Bekele, Eliud Kipchoge, Zersenay Tadesse, Benita Johnson, Worknesh Kidane etc...

gonna be an awesome day... we'll keep you posted...

have a great day...
