		<title>Injuries and Training This Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After pulling something in my left knee last week on a 50 mile ride I took a day off and then went out for a gentle ride. My knee took 8 miles to become very sore and this ruined my training for the weekend - I had planned to do the group ride on Sunday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Liverpool Tunnel 10k</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got into Liverpool this morning via the free trains - all travel on Merseyrail Northern and Wirral lines was free to competitors. Got in at 0850, walked over to collect my chip and found myself hanging round the start with 50 mins to spare. I ended up taking a walk round the block, finding a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another week of training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liverpool Tunnel 10k this weekend! Hoping to run sub-50, based on last weekends 23min 5k. This will be the first proper run I have tried - the sport relief one was run very slowly and the tight course and press of people meant lots of dodging and diving. The weather looks good - overcast and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Milestones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went out last night and ran 12.5 km (7.76 miles). This is my longest run ever - was not feeling that great but still managed to knock it out slowly. It took 1hr20 ish, at under 6 min/km.
The other effect of last nights run was to take me over 100 running miles in 2008. Thats [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Play.com suck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ordered a memory card from play.com for my XDA last week - it took them a day to dispatch, which is OK, but then they said 3-5 days to deliver, which is not.
