April Blog 2013
Posted on 9th May, 2013 by Dr Ron
WEEK 14 It took from Sunday to Thursday for my quads to recover. Friday, my run consisted of running down to Donneybrook House, my local medical centre, to get an " appointment on the day." The system of getting to see a doctor is in my opinion terrible. I was there before 8:00 am and there [...]

Posted on 18th April, 2013 by Dr Ron
" I could hardly believe what I was seeing when TV showed what had happened on Boylston Street close to the finish of the Boston Marathon around 4 hours and 10 minutes into the race.
