Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

    Bringing out the best in people

    So I managed to complete the Birmingham half-marathon in 2 hours and 17 minutes. One of the things that has been imprinted on my memory is how the day seemed to bring out the best in all people.People all along the 13.1 mile route were handing out sweets, water, and shouts of encouragement directed at specific people – whether they were friends or not. Countless times I had people cheering me on from my name on my runners number.It makes all the difference.I especially found it great how even when running through areas of Birmingham that were less desirable – places where the people may normally be feared – had just the same encouragement and friendliness.

    @rmlocke Ha. I wasnt expecting that. I may have to listen to the hard to kill soundtrack as I run. Then release an eagle as I reach a hilltop

    Four days until the big run

    In four days time, I’ll be doing the Birmingham half marathon along with a mate from work.

    The gravity of what I have said I’ll do didn’t really hit me until earlier today, when we were looking over the route map and elevation.

    13.1 miles it is and I know I’m going to feel every step. I’m both nervous and excited in equal measure.

    I’m now starting to wish I had prepared more. The longest run I’ve done — at a steady pace — has been about 8 miles or so and since paintballing last weekend has given me achy muscles, I’ve had no option but to rest up.

    I’m quietly confident that the cheering of the crowds and general good feelings of all involved will help me — and indeed everybody else — to make it through the race.

    I just hope I have prepared enough.

    Twitter autoplays videos too! Bloody hell. Why bother with a play icon over the video if you’re going to make the choice for me?

    Is there anybody else out there that finds the @netflixuk autoplaying in tv / film details screen annoying? I do.

    Far Cry 4 was a superior game, but there is something about the atmosphere of Far Cry 3 that just can’t be beat.
