Time to Get Training
Well I've got the Manchester Bupa Run in May (17th) which I'm looking forward to... Nice flat road race, always a good run. I'm running for Charity so if you fancy Donating a little to the New Children's Hospital Appeal then CLICK HERE.
Myself and my friend Guy have just signed up to do the HellRunner Up North Trail Run in November (1st), Now this one will be a challenge...
So time to get off my ass and get into my trainers again for some training...
I will try and keep this site upto date with our progress :)
To give you an idea of what this run is about I'm ending this post with a quote ;)
HellRunner™ is over multi-terrain and varying underfoot conditions. There will be everything from running tracks and trails to water-filled areas and plenty of steep hills. Expect to get very wet! It will be nature at its toughest. The course will be marked but do not expect to see mile or kilometre markers….that’s for those softy road running types. All you need to know is that the course will be probably more than 10 and less than 12 miles in length. Hey! With what we have in store, who’s counting?
IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SWIM BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COURSE MAY WELL BE UNEVEN, SLIPPERY, STONY AND WET...
HELLRUNNER™ - We’re talking REAL TRAIL RUNNING! Getting There & Event Car Parking
Hell Up North takes place in Delamere Forest Park, Delamere, Cheshire
]]>A New Year, A new set of posts :P
http://www.iwontheinternet.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry090215-194845
But no one was really reading this site anyway and it didn't really didn't have that much of a purpose other than to keep my running/hiking/biking logged which can be found on the right ->
Well hopefully this site can be of a bit more use this year...
I've recently started looking into GeoCaching, and now created two new pages to the right -> My Finds and My Cashes, I will be listing both here as well as on my profile "MouseUK" on Geocaching.com as I managed to find/pace some.
Myself and a few of my Uni/Work friends have started doing an MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) exam(s), So I will be adding links on the right to pages which may help, there is already enough Microsoft exam help forums about so I will more than likely link to one of them rather than creating yet another one :P
More to come... :P ]]>Online Chat
http://www.iwontheinternet.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry081027-211532
Seems to be working and it saves convo's, plus has a private message service... :D
Its more a fail safe when something goes wrong with MSN at work so I can still talk to my beloved...
Cooking is always a good thing, just getting the time sometimes but... These aren't too bad or time consuming :)
This one I'm going to try soon ;)
Quick-time sausage cassoulet Serves 8
Ingredients • 2 handfuls of dried porcini mushrooms, broken up • 8 thick slices of dry-cured streaky bacon • extra virgin olive oil • 1 large bunch of mixed fresh rosemary, thyme and sage • 2 red onions, peeled and roughly chopped • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped • 1 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped • ½ celery heart, finely chopped • 2 bay leaves • ½ bottle of red wine • 3 x 400g tins of plum tomatoes • 2 x 400g tins of borlotti or cannellini beans, or use a mixture sea salt and freshly ground black pepper • 24 chipolata sausages or 8 larger sausages • 1 large, stale loaf, crusts removed • 1 small handful of fresh thyme, leaves picked
"This dish was inspired by a builder called Dusty, who kept talking about a sausage casserole. So I made this one up very quickly, basing it on a French cassoulet-type thing. It's nice and easy to cook for a group as it's all done in one dish. While I was going sausage-mad, I realized that we're fantastically lucky these days to have great sausages available in the supermarkets, farmers' markets and good local butchers. In this dish feel free to use any sausages you like.
Preheat your oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7. Put your porcini mushrooms into a dish, cover with 565ml/1 pint of boiling water and allow to soak until soft. Heat a large casserole-type pan or roasting tray on the hob. Slice the bacon across into strips – called ‘lardons’. Fry in 4 tablespoons of olive oil until crisp and golden. Tie your herbs together with some string and add to the bacon in the pan with your onions, garlic, carrot, celery and bay leaves. Drain the porcini, reserving the soaking liquid, add them to the pan and fry nice and slowly for about 5 minutes. Add the red wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half.
Add the tomatoes to the pan, breaking them up with a spoon, then add your strained porcini soaking liquor and the beans. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Lightly season before laying your sausages on top – all higgledy piggledy. Break up your bread into coarse, chunky breadcrumbs, toss with the thyme, a little salt and olive oil and sprinkle on top of the sausages. Place in the oven for around 1 hour until the sausages and breadcrumbs are golden and crisp. Remove the bunch of herbs and serve with something like mashed potato or polenta.
Try this: Any combination of beans and lentils works well in this cassoulet, so feel free to use what you fancy.
And this: Sometimes if I want to make this a bit more healthy and get some greens involved I will stir in a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach right at the end when serving up. The heat from the dish will make the spinach wilt."

http://www.iwontheinternet.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry081012-232505
Well it was a Dark humid evening,
Well set off a little later than I planned, so it was quite a nice run...
The IPod decided even though it was reading off stat's etc for the entire run by the time I got hope and plugged it in to send the details back to Nike+... Nothing :(
But oh well, the run ended up being just over 6 miles in 56 minutes.
