Easing into things

First thanks to all for your notes on my last post and especially for Jen following up a little later!

An unbelievable amount of stuff has been going on since my last post. I won't go into gory details about work but I have to say the last 3-4 weeks have been the most trying of my professional career on many fronts.

Thankfully at the start of July I had a week long holiday booked in Phuket with the family and it was perfectly timed given everything. I unwound for a few days and then laced up the runners for my first run since Six Foot, about 4 months ago!

I have also been riding again with ANZA and also doing some swimming. The Fat Bastard stakes see me at 85KG at the moment, quite a stretch from what I was around the GNW time close to 2 years age (75KG!)

Part of the motivation was that I have entered 2 races, mostly to ensure that I scare myself back into fitness! So in around a month I am running a half marathon in Singapore and then in early SeptemberI have signed up for the Singapore Half-Ironman, which they seem to call nowdays 70.3 for a great marketing reason I am sure...

The posts are likely to be intermittent but I'll write up when I can!
