I broke my 10K record today…by over a minute! Unfortunately, the exertion required for this has led my body to fine me, in the form of a groin strain. Years ago playing footy, I pulled my groin (stop sniggering) and since then it’s always been …

Today marks the start of a new adventure…although I may not even leave the house! 09:20 on a rainy Friday morning, a couple of weeks from the start of summer. Nothing special, except I have the day off – the first in what should …
Read MoreFitness freak
Aside from walking well over a hundred miles whilst away, and throwing myself off various heights, I didn’t have a lot of exercise in the last few months. With warmer weather and plenty of options, I’ve flung myself back into exercising. Until I started this …

Yeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwww! We’ve just pulled up at a cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere. It’s a mandatory stop on the bus, so although it’s not a choice any of us would have probably made, it sounds like it could be good fun. We check in …
