Wake Boarding
The reason I want winter to end and summer to beging is wake boarding! It's just like water skiing, but you're on a snowboad instead. A friend of a friend sells wakeboard towers for a living and has invited a bunch of us down to Southampton for a weekend in Summer ( Read more... ) -
Helpful Articles
Read a fantastic article over at www.walking.org about insoles for shoes.
There needs to be more stuff like this on the net that just explains things for the lamen, then goes into a bit more detail for people who need the extra info. Been getting irritated by the BBC site lately because the articles just ramble on and on without conclusion.

Fish n' Chips and Hi Tec
My mate has got himself a job in South End working for hi tec.This comes as a bit of a surprise because we all thought he was very happy in his current job. But he's really excited to go and work for them, so good for him.
He appeared for the usual pub catch up on Sunday wearing a pair of retro hi tec silver shadow trainers and gave us all a Hi Tec ( Read more... ) -
Running on Hold
Running has taken a big hit this month as I've spent every weekend decorating. In the past few weeks I've learned how to wallpaper like a pro, paint like Titian and build some cracking wardrobe doors out of contiboard with a fine oak finish. In fact I've gained a new respect for my Father who's business brain is not only ripe with very clever idea ( Read more... ) -

"Don't wear cotton." Was the response I got from the canoe club secretary when I asked if I needed any special kit or clothing for kayaking this weekend ( Read more... ) -
tiler extraodinaire
Got called in to help a mate decorate this weekend.
Exchanged many free hours of my time grouting, tiling a bathroom and partaking of a fine roast dinner and thai green curry as a form of payment.
Due to family commitments I didn't go for a run.
Due to easter sunday I couldn't go to the canoe club.
Looking forward to canoeing next Sunday.

Eventful Weekend
Life's been so busy lately, it's tough to keep my running blog updated, which, let's face it, has turned into more of a What Slab Did Today than the dedicated training journal that it was supposed to be.
So continuing with that new trend, let's talk about my weekend -which was probably one of the best weekends in a long time.
Went to Camden with Bex ( Read more... ) -
Birkenstock sandals for me?
The post has just arrived at work and there's a parcel with my name on it. Very strange. I don't remember ordering anything.
So I opened up the box to find a pair of Birkenstock shoes inside. I didn't order these. I was busy getting sloshed this weekend!
Naturally I suspect that Bex is behind this latest fashion atrocity. I pointed and laughed at her ( Read more... ) -
What a weekend
Got back from my wild weekend with the lads in Nottingham. I was so tired that I took Monday off work and pretty much slept right through to midday. That's what a diet of bacon and eggs on top of two extremely late nights does to you. Especially when fuelled by a pint of Guinness followed by countless glasses of rum and coke.
In a desperate attempt ( Read more... ) -
Okay, maybe I do Do sandals
While I was completely justified for condemning Crocs earlier, I've seen the perfect summer sandal for a guy like me who doesn't really want to wear sandals, but gets very hot feet otherwise.
Just check out these Merrell Kahuna walking sandals. That's right, I said walking sandals. Basically, take the typical walking shoes, rip off the uppers, some ( Read more... )
