Rest Day. Had another good Sunday roast, and my house mates returned, so am no longer home alone. Big Rowing week ahead starting tomorrow....

Rest Day...

I spent a few hours on the train returning to University today. Got back at about 1530. So gym was out of question once I had settled in, but I did go food shopping, and carried lots of heavy bags for a mile- so that was something I suppose....

Rest Day. Did have a very nice roast beef dinner though. I return to University tomorrow- meaning I get full and free access to the gym and swimming pool. Good times....

Snow is preventing me from being able to do any running, so I did an extra Core Workout session to make up for it. Again, not much to report when the weather is this bad!...

Rest day today. Being snowed in helped with this....

Rest day today. Recovering my energy stores from yesterdays run....

Nothing today, and not because of superstitions of it being the 13th day of the programme either! I happen to appreciate the number 13 through my old Rugby position of Outisde Centre. It was a rest day....

No change in weather, which means I am slowly falling behind with my programme progress. Which is a bit demoralising, but we shall continue none-the-less. The snow is still piled high, but luckily it has compacted down into a solid run-able platfo...

I arrived home yesterday evening only to suddenly start being sick, gain a temperature and have quite a painful headache. Not what I need just before training starts! I have spent most of this Sunday trying to get better, with some fast curing tec...

Today is the day I head home, but light snow and idiotic drivers (over turned car outside my house) have delayed my departure. It is embarrassing how such little snow brings this country to a standstill. Not only that I have discovered that UPS ar...

With Friday comes the weekend! Spent the day having a gentle gym session to ease my muscles into the routine which is about to shock my system. Was very careful not to exert myself too much before Monday. It has being snowing endlessly all day,...

Here we are, the winter break. For most students the Christmas holiday is a time to enjoy the finer foods, more refined drinks, relax with the family and enjoy the winter chill from the comfort of their own homes. For me, however, it is a punis...
