Bustin’ Down The Door, North Shore, Hawaii, 1975. The Mecca of Cool. Wish I was there…
The only good thing about the rain is being indoors & listening to it whilst having a nice cup of tea.
Right now at this precise moment in time & life - all I want to do is go for a surf…
Shattered, sore legs & shoulders, dehydrated & starving. Ironman? No, just a day in London!
Sat in best coffee shop. Flat White, scrambled eggs & Otis Redding. Love life!
Just booked the flights to Kona, Hawaii. So pumped I won’t be able to sleep….living the dream mate, living the dream…
Wow I enjoyed that run! Best I’ve ran in a long time. Felt light, loose and good core strength. Now for a sleep!
Legs & hips feel a lot better after some much-needed yoga earlier. Managed 2 combine with watching a movie. Double bubble!
Impressed with Swedish version of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo - let’s see how badly Hollywood does it.

A great short movie - chapeau!

Ever wondered what it looks & feels like to “bury yourself” on the bike?
This is the life. Early swim. Coffee. Work. Quick sleep. Ride. Eating dinner whilst putting tomorrows kit together. Shower. Bed. Do it again.

Exciting times...
Happy Sunday Everyone! A bit of a mixed bag this week - but all positive and exciting stuff. Training-wise, I’ve made a gentle return to running this week with 30-45 minute runs every day Monday - Thursday. Nothing sensational - but it did feel good to get back out on the road again. Obviously the legs have softened up but you also forget how the upper-body misses running. Sounds strange...
