Facebook groups

I have become fascinated with Facebook, and it's possibilities, especially all the different groups you can join. There are a number of groups I have joined of which you can go as silly as Wez Rocks!! (The Wez Greenhill Appreciation group) lets jump on his bus! To the more serious,remember Rhydian Avent.

We have our very own St. Nic's BAFTA for any young person to join up and find out the latest info and post photo's of youth club activities.

As you may know I am training for a 52 mile run in May, so decided to set up a group called, Jonny Kear is running 52 miles on 7th May, for St. Nic's BAFTA. I have decided to keep a journal of my progress each day, and instead of updating this blog daily I though I'd keep you up to speed once a week, so far this is what has happened...

Monday 10th Jan
Less than 17 weeks to go, today Monday 10th Jan is a rest day, although all thoughts are on tomorrow, a massive 24 miler is to be tried. I haven't run this far since 2001 and the Isle if wight marathon!

Wednesday 12th Jan
Very pleased today, I managed to run the 24 miles yesterday, the first 18 miles I was happy with a time of 3.10 mins, the last six were a slog, and I finished in 4hrs and 25 mins. woke up today a little bit weary but a brisk walk to work so loosed me up. Although being careful not to spend too much time at the computer today and then not being able to move!!

Had a little trot lunch time, 4 miles in around 45mins, legs feeling good

Friday 14th Jan
Yesterday (Thursday) was a rest day, funny walking and aches and pains. But today was a running day, which I nearly made a rest day because I could be bothered to go out, but knowing i had to write a progress report for you lot, spurred me on. 6 miles completed in under the hour, including a beast of Bathwick, a beautiful mile long drag (uphill) did that part in 13 mins, will I ever conquer it in 10?

Sunday 16th Jan
Yesterdays training consisted of a gentle jog, weights, push ups, sit ups and a lot of stretching. Today is a rest day.

Monday 17th Jan
Today is a rest day, wearing a foot strap and have a bandaged calf, feeling a slight tweak this morning, so playing it safe today, looking forward to tomorrow and the challenging Forest of Dean

Looking forward to seeing you at the next event - Jon

come and CY

I'm running 13 sessions on Christianity at church, and would like to invite you along. The main aim of the sessions are to question the beliefs of Christianity and not to 'make you' a Christian.

They are starting this coming Monday 10th Jan and are every Monday, except half term, until 4th April. It starts at 5:30pm and will be finished by 7:30pm at the very latest. We are meeting in the Upper Room at church due to a pilates class happening in the Miller room. It is free to come along and there will a some nibbles and drinks available.

Have a great weekend - Jon
