Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

With that in mind, it was time to get on with it! Months of training, changes to diet […]

I woke up Sunday morning, 6:00am to have something to eat. I was not going to get caught out again with the diet thing. I had spent the week, carb-loading and was feeling a bit stuffed. A Weetabix and a honey covered bagel were my poison before I slowly and reluctantly got […]

The last week has been tough, carb-loading is hard. I can only equate it to a turkey getting ready for Christmas. Eating bread, pasta, oatcakes, oat bars, lucozade, water, etc. all the time is tough going and I reckon I have put on about 4 pounds!
Thank you to all the messages of good […]

Last night I got a call from Chris, apparently The Sun had been on the phone. They had managed to track Chris down, not quite sure how and he had done an interview on the phone with a reporter.
We then had a photo shoot with a Sun photographer in Leith Links where we once […]
