My bucket list just got shorter! On Sunday, I did something I’ve wanted to do for thirty odd years – I completed a marathon. The London marathon is a remarkable event and I would encourage anyone to give it a go. I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said to me that […]

Time to Sponsor Me!
I’m a somewhat overweight bloke in my mid fifties who is planning to run the London marathon in 2013. I’ll be honest, a slice of this is because I want to see if I can actually do it, but it also gives me the opportunity to raise some money for a cause I believe passionately […]
Running Report November
This year, I set myself the target of running 750 miles and over the year I’ve reported on my progress. However, there hasn’t been a report for over four months now and here is my excuse. In July, I ran in the High Wycombe half-marathon, which I completed with a very disappointing time, but at […]
To Busy to Be Creative?
Every month I have to write a short introduction to the Wycliffe staff newsletter. Here is an edited version of what I wrote this month I’ve been staring at this screen for ages now, and my introductory piece still hasn’t written itself. It’s very frustrating! It’s not as though I wasn’t productive earlier in the […]

Running Report June 2012
We are half-way through the year and I’m half way through my self-imposed challenge to run 750 miles during the year. The last three months have been rather mixed. I’ve had some weeks where I ran well over twenty miles and then a two-week period in Thailand where I didn’t run at all. During our […]
Ways to Encourage Us!
If you are anything like me, you probably never read the sidebars of blogs. However, despite the fact that I don’t often read sidebars, I have actually put some fairly important information on the side of our blog, that I’d like to highlight, if that’s ok with you. The first thing to say is that […]
Running Report: March 2012
This year I’ve set myself a target of running 750 miles and quarter of the way through, it’s time to take stock again. Target to date: 187.5 miles Distance run: 187.8 miles So, I’m just about a third of a mile ahead of my target. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with this. We are now through […]
High Wycombe Half-Marathon
It’s been a funny old week. On Thursday I went to Stoke Mandeville hospital in Ayelsbury to have a tooth removed under IV sedation (a long story, involving a very dodgy dentist in Africa). This appointment had been deferred for a few months because last time I went there, my blood pressure was sky-high. This […]
A Brief Hiatus
You may have noticed that things have been rather quiet on the Kouya Chronicle front of late. This isn’t because the blog has closed but rather because Sue and I have just enjoyed a fantastic couple of weeks on the Isle of Skye. I’ve always been convinced that nowhere on earth could be as beautiful […]
