Hourglass For Tea – A New Take

Green tea, black tea, white tea: with the Paradox TEA timer, preparing tea is transformed into an individual moment that makes steeping time fly by thanks to the paradox flow of the granulate – from the bottom up.

I bought one of these last week and it’s truly mesmerising – I will quite often just flip it over even when I don’t have tea in the pot (yea right).

Running Again

I found a much shadier and scenic route for today’s run :

But I quickly realised why the local runners all stick to the main roads.

BREATHTAKING !
My slowest 5k in a long time. Mind you, according to my Fitbit I climbed the equivalent of 34 floors yesterday!

Well that was a first in a long time:

I went for a run
AND I ENJOYED IT !

Yes it was only 5k
Yes it was slow
Yes it was uninterrupted
Yes my head was held high
Yes I smiled all the way

YES !

What I’m Reading – The Martian

It’s been a while since I found a true “can’t put down” book.

I have found one The Martian by Andy Weir:

The story of an astronaut left on Mars.

Dublin Marathon 2012

2012-10-29 08.46.45 Well – that’s my final marathon of the year done and what a way to end it. Fantastic location, fantastic people/support, fantastic weather (cold and dry) and a personal best by over 14 minutes!

You can review my marathon stats here.
The stats make interesting reading (if your into stats or are a runner).
It shows how my pace per mile has changed since my first marathon and also how Chester compared with Dublin (4 weeks apart). It also finally drummed it into me that starting slow DOES enable you to hold a more consistent pace for longer.
