#023 The Fourth Plinth

jellycast — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:41:09 +0100

In today's show: My running is back on track - hurray! I talk about my aim to enjoy the process of running and not set any race or marathon goals in case my overly goal-focused personality hijacks the whole purpose of this hobby - which is to have fun! Inspired by Matt's You Are There segment, over at his rundiggerrun podcast, I start an occasional series My Local London, where I share with you some places in London which I find interesting, curious or are just plain nice to hang out in. Today, I'm in Trafalgar Square, taking a look at The Fourth Plinth. Discover how YOU can be a work of art by taking part in The Fourth Plinth project.... Also, you can see some video I captured via my phone camera of some street dancing outside the National Gallery on the north side of Trafalgar Square - go to my blog at www.fusionview.co.uk

Sunday in the Allotment with Mick

jellycast — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:12:59 +0100

In today's show: I'm still not able to run but fortunately, have a lot of other fun things to distract me. My sister and I take my mum to Strasbourg for her 70th birthday treat - that's Strasbourg in France, not Salzberg in Austria - and find few tourists and a lot of great shopping in the city's lovely medieval streets. Back at home, we watch Running the Sahara, a documentary about three guys who run across Africa from Senegal to Egypt and the Red Sea. Our friend Mick, the beekeeper, gives us a tour of the Kent House Road Allotments in South London and we come back to our half-finished vegetable patch in the back garden with fresh inspiration. Photos of the allotments, including South London vineyards, are in the slideshow on my blog at Fusion View

Not Running but Socializing

jellycast — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:34:00 +0100

In today's show: I check out the live phoneblogging platform Ipadio - http://www.ipadio.com - with some live phoneblogs on my mobile phone. I'm feeling sorry for myself as I have done something to my leg and can't run - to my great dismay. But socializing with friends keeps me entertained. Some of the sites and friends I mention are: # Kenny who blogs at http://lifeforbeginners.com/, visits from Malaysia and tells me about "foodcrawls", the greedy person's equivalant of pubcrawls # An energetic young barrister tells me about adventure racing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_racing , a triathlon like sport that's catching on in England # Lybbe in Canada leaves me an email. Lybbe's blog "Blah blah blah" is at http://lybbe1631.blogspot.com/ - her bio says, "Life long weight problem. Decided at 308 pounds (or more) that I wasn't going to let myself slide any further. I've lost over 100 pounds and have about 50 more to lose. I feel better than I did 20 years ago, and I know I have lengthened my life expectancy." Also, check out her new podcast, Fifty Counting Down.

The Fun Run of Life

jellycast — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 18:59:22 +0100

In today's show: It's the day of my first 5k fun run in aid of Goodrich Primary School (http://www.friendsofgoodrich.com/index.html )and also the day of the London Marathon http://www.london-marathon.co.uk/site/. I share my experiences of the day and also discover an insight into an aspect of my personality during the fun run - which shows me a trait in my character that is with me in my life outside of running.

Running Stream of Consciousness

jellycast — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:34:12 +0100

In today's show: I take a look inside Virginia Woolf's stream of consciousness novels and question how they fare alongside the stream of consciousness style of running podcasts. Yes, Fusion View is all about high culture and fitness...! The running podcasts I mention are: http://runningfromthereaper.blogspot.com/ - Running from the Reaper http://texafornia.squarespace.com/ - Zen and the Art of Triathlon http://parkedthoughts.com/ - Running with the Pack http://www.rundiggerrun.com/Run_Digger_Run/My_Blog/My_Blog.html Run Digger Run http://runningthenarrowpath.blogspot.com/ Running the Narrow Path And I play some voicemails from Susan Macaulay and Giles Colborne who share their running stories.

Getting Physical

Yang-May Ooi on Fusion View at www.fusionview.co.uk — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:02:53 +0100

In today's show: Getting Physical - April and the London Marathon is coming up. An old friend Matthew emails to say that will be his second marathon this year already! I experience the joy of physicality as my running stamina improves but still can’t help ordering lots of books. Commuter Dead Time - What do you do to pass the dead time during your daily commute? Read? Shave? Put on make-up? Blog? Lazing on the Sofa - Taking the time to loaf around doing nothing on a rainy long weekend, I feel like a lazy teenager again.

Candlelight and Starting Running

jellycast — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:40:43 +0100

In this episode of the Fusion View podcast, I report back on how we spent Earth Hour the other Saturday. Also, how I got started running - and how I hope to keep on running! I'd love to hear from runners about how they got the running bug and how they kept going - you can send me an email or voicemail by going to my Contact page at http://www.fusionview.co.uk/contact. If your message is right for the show, I'll read it or play in on the next Fusion View podcast!

Phoneblog - Pocket PC versus iPhone for mobile blogging

jellycast — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:29:41 +0000

Phoneblogging without internet connection - using Pocket PC mobile phone without much success but an iPhone saves the day.
