Life of Wiley

I received an e-mail from Tripadvisor today indicating that they’ve just released their “2008 Travelers’ Choice Destination Awards” (pdf).
The list is broken out into the top 100 in the world and then the top 25 in the various global regions. It seems I’m a very well travelled man as I have been to 24 of the world’s top 100 destinations! At the end of this month I’ll be going to two more places I’ve never been before; Dallas, Texas and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Sadly neither of those are in the top 100.

It’s been a long time since I participated in a 10K race (I don’t say competed because I don’t enter to win). But I was persuaded to enter the Watford 10K last Monday which, in hindsight, was a little foolish considering I hadn’t done any training for it save for a few laps around Euan’s football training ground the Saturday before. Still, all things considered I didn’t do so bad; I finished the race, and in under an hour too, at 55:37.
