Catching the running bug

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Last year much of my exercise took place cycling too and from work along a 6.2mi distance. With the winter being particularly cold this year with a number of snow flurries, plus my lights gave up the ghost, I have been forced to catch the train. Outside of the winter months I also regularly mountain bike both locally at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire and further afield in a number of the centres in Wales. So with the poor weather in the winter, I have been craving some outlet to exercise to stay fit and maintain my stamina for a return to mountain biking when the warmer months return.

When a blog post becomes an article

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Two weekends a go I embarked on what I thought would be a rather large but tasty blog post reviewing the new Waitrose website which had adopted all manner of social interactions with its users. It honestly began as a blog post but as I got into it and further into the Waitrose website I found that I was no longer writing a blog post, it had become an article. At the point where I had reached in the region of 4000 words I was advised by my good friend David North that it was an article and I should distribute it as such. Thanks David, you are very right. Now I know that I am one to ramble on with my posts and that I seem to get lost in the language that I love and by the time I know it the postings are as long as a shopping run to Asda after a three week holiday. When I am writing a blog post I like to pay it my full attention too so complete it before I start thinking about what the next discussion will be. I have spent the last two weekends working and reworking the article before moving on which is why there has been a gap in my regular postings.
