Somehow, it just didn’t seem like the end of a decade.. another year ending and another year starting, yeah yeah yeah… But then suddenly it was here… Pretty much the story of the whole last year. We started off the year making the preparations to sell our business in the UK and move back to[…]
So, May was the last full actual month of living in the UK. We knew this was going to happen over a year ago, and thankfully Janet had the move part under control… Me? Well Mr. Lastminute.com didn’t let the side down. So, when the blokes showed up with the moving van to take all[…]
Fortunately, the shortest day of the year is rapidly approaching, just 2 and a half weeks. The shorter days are a real crimp to my ability to keep fit, sun is not coming up until after 8 and going down before 4… Fitness 4th December: ran 7.8Km, time avg. 6:50/Km, cut about 15 seconds/Km, big[…]
After 3 weeks, he’s back… Worst 3 weeks health-wise in the last 10 years. Got some sort of flu/cold/allergy thing that just went on and on. 2 doctor visits and lots of drugs and it has now gone.

September is over, amazingly great things have happened… Sorry I have not blogged in the last 2 weeks, been a lot going on. Have now moved both the physical and motivational components up to the next level… Fitness Report Motivation Report This week we are looking at perseverance and “re-framing”…
So, last week I managed to master the “High 5”, and last Saturday I I’d my best 5K time ever… So it was really weird finishing in under 30 minutes, because I was going through the “chute” (this funnel that they channel all runners through at the finish line), and I’m suddenly with all these[…]
So, I finally figured out after 10 months of running on the road that when people come by you and hold their hands up, they want to “high five” you… I guess the more desperate you look the more then want to encourage you, so I seem to be a lighting rod for encouragement… Fitness[…]
So this week we had some unexpectedly great things happen. First, my university roommate Archie drove all the from Seattle up to Port Townsend and picked up a load of pictures of my brother Paul which I’ve posted up in the “about” section… The post image in honour of Paul… So here is the fitness[…]
