Just to prove how hard it is to get a regular routine let alone run barefoot across America I have again made another video. I seems Tellman has done it again great job. Battling it against the elements with the support of the whole of the USA Tellman Knudson in his latest daily  post is pictured with a group of kids at a home on route of his journey across America. In contrast I above am struggling to make between campus’s at Uni let alone run across the country barefoot.

On reflection and having done some more research on the whole running barefoot thing, I have noticed a sense of chivalry and admiration between professional marathon runners for your stereotypical barefoot runner. It has been reported as a very dangerous hobby yet all who participate speak of this pass time with tremendous pride. The nature of the whole barefoot thing I guess what I now know is even braver than what I thought.

I now see Tellman as some kind of Western civil war soldier who ran it alone and helped conquer America during the civil war, did anyone else think this? Anyway here in Britain I knuckling down to my studies for the last three months and just the thought of  running is helping me loose weight. I got a compliment today from a friend at Uni who is a successful online marketer he said I looked as if I’d lost a few pounds. Run Tellman Run!

What a great day for priming myself for running, although I’ve missed two days of logging in about running I have been running things quite well. It’s been a busy day and the past three days have also been busy typing twittering and sharing the great news over on http://startrunning.com. Tellman eating those chilly chicken wings really brought things home, those chicken wings were huge looked yummy and that dip looked dangerous, but he did it, been there and won the T-shirt, Mr Knudson your a legend. That aside today is what this weblog is about, it does not contain any running from me however in the background you will see running water from the fountain of Trafalgar Square in London. We were lucky it only splashed the camera a little bit.

Today’s video blog is me on the third blog or day five or six (loosing count) of trying to keep up with the amazing Tellman Knudson and team doing there their thing. I very curious to know if your man shaved the beard of for extra dough. Tellman’s gonna raise $100, 000,000 for homeless children in America, I don’t know about you but that is incredible, he’s a runner right, that’s why were all here, were runners, were all running things and like I said below you shall see some running water, OK. :0)

Did a day of Sushi in Soho, near Piccadilly if you like food and are visiting London please check out the Sushi restaurants, and I don’t mean the commercial Yo Sushi’s that are about near the Hotels (although they are cool). If you want to have a great sushi munch, Japanese, Korean and all times of things oh and real green Tea go to the Sushi bar in Piccadilly well near Piccadilly. It’s good brain food and was enough to remind having walked of some of the food with my friend from Isle of Man Jenny to get filming for Run Robbwindow Run, well you know I mean Run Tellman Run, I mean really you must think I’m self obsessed or something like this.

Before the munch I managed to squeeze in the Bob Dylan exhibition in the Portrait Gallery, that was cool, many of the photo’s were ok Bob in 1966 which is a very nostalgic year here in the UK, why, well come on man I here you ask? Well we won the World Cup that’s probably why however I think Bob was touring Britain at that time. If Britain could win the world cup in 1966 soccer match then I am damn sure Tellman Knudson can run across the breadth of America barefoot backwards, isn’t it.

Prior to this video and seeing Jenny of on her merry way I met a homeless bloke who had been laid of from security work due to the credit crunch and being homeless having gone to Wales for a week to see his family. His landlady had made hime evicted. Anyway decided to take him for a munch and showed him a few homeless centre’s where he could get shelter. All of them he had tried and he had been turned away, 1. because he did not have an alcohol dependency, 2. he did not have any mental disabilities (although he had been given sight as a baby from being blind to then seeing) and 3. he had no history with the Police. This set him back from getting shelter as homeless person. what’s interesting about this is that if this is the case and that’s generally how it is for homeless people here then I’m sure there are similar issues in the US especially with the young kids. Everybody deserves a roof over there head and like I said to Mike everyone should have Internet access. He cut me up on that one and shared about how he won gold swimming for Britain and how he got a job doing security of nightclubs with shortsightedness. Now I know he was not considerably young but man this guy’s spirit was high and if this sort of thing can happen to him then it could happen to anyone. Support RunTellmanRun please this ones a winner, $100, 000,000 might just might make a difference but without your donations this means nothing.

Below is the donate link from Tellman’s page.

Got all dressed up in new running clothes at 7.00am on Sunday morning.

The strange thing is I look the part I all ready to go I’ve spoke to the coaching friend the night before (he reccomended I join  running club) and all pumped up ready to go, well that was yesterday and here’swhat followed.

I’m sorry Tellman runners I’m just not cut out for this yet, I’m still at the e-mails stage. Soullessly before going out on my early morning Sunday jog I again decided to check e-mails. I don’t think I had that many, well anyway the next thing I know it was way after ten oclock so three hours had just gone like that. I sat there looking at my monitor watching everything but Run Tellman Run video and blogs.

Three hours after this I decided to take my hat of and noticed on my t-shirt purchased in Lillywhites the day before that the electronic tag was still on the t-shirt> I thought about leaving again to go jogging however because it was late I thought I may go into a shop or something like this. I got paraniod that if I go into a shop the electronic tag still attached to the t-shirt may set of the alarm, in a shop, even though all I wanted to do was go out and jog. That could be one of the downfalls of living on a highstreet of North London. The rural and urban thing, anyway here’s a good Tellman video I liked watching this morning.

I hope you don’t mind my waffling it’s what I do, but I hope to break this kind of behaviour. Also it’s important to add as well as having the already confessed e-mail checking addiction thing, I also love me grub. again well done Tellman those veggie Fajita’s are yummy I printed out the recipe just need to get the posh ingredients now. At the mo I’m living of carrot an turnip boiled with loads of root vegtables, ie garlic and ginger. Having boiled these I then wisk in me wisker and add a little Palm Oil. before making this Palm oil meal I did a bit of research on Palm Oil.

Now two things came up about Palm oil aside from the fact it is bad for the environment. Firstly Palm Oil contains loads of great vitamins if not cooked at a too higher temperature, so this is why I added it to me carrot and turnip mixture. Secondly Palm Oil is a big substitute in Bio-fuel diesel I think. Wikipedia has an interesting page on Palm Oil, it’s worth checking out. Finally palm oil tree’s grow along side roads, quite possibly Tellman that’s the thing in the grass that you trod on, keep them feet safe buddy it’s just mind over matter, you’ve got the memento it’s just great right?

Later today I shall try again so for now I will after this turn computer of get some rest and begin again. Quite possibly the next post will go back to day 1 even though I started on day 2 in this blog, I think it’s good to start of honestly on the right foot. Or my left foot depending on how you watch it.

Incidentally the alarm chip stuck to the t-shirt I managed to get of by gutting the T-shirt a little, and yes the receipt in the bag showed that the girl had charged me, I mean the alarm went of when I left the shop but the alarm always goes of in Lilly-whites I thought nothing of it, anyway, I’m all set for me run tomorrow. If you see me running through the park shout run Robbwindow Run I need all the support I can get, I becoming a right slob. I know Tellman Knudson will save the day though.

Went out to Piccadilly Circus to spend some money on running equipment. On my way to West End I bumped into the Jordan the mobile and TV reality Star. She was with her new boyfriend and she had on Big Purple Musketeer boots. Little did she know I was on my way to buy some groovy clothes myself. All the attention at that time was on Jordan getting out of her big van in Leister Square (little did they know Robbwindow was in the crowd and was on his way to buy clobber to Run in the RunTellmanRun 30 day Challenge).

Anyway managed to walk briskly to Lilly Whites to purchase new jogging pants, Collared T-shirt, Hooded Top, and socks.

Got a video of the Eros right by LillyWhites hope you enjoy all the traffic!

First day running after missing the run on day 1. Day 2 sadly was interrupted by a work commitments however nothing was going to stop me from joining in the running. So I filmed this DVD of me running to the train station.

Interestingly no-one had offered me work until I made a conscious decision to do something, after this the phone was of the hook again and even better still the nights have again become days.

Warning if your suseptable to flashy lights and other things like this you may want to give this first video weblog response to http://startrunning.com/wp-login.php
