Chicken Chow Mein
Hell with it, I'm going to be a fat bloater and get myself some chinese. Chicken chow mein and crispy beef I think.
Prawn crackers? Nah, too excessive.
Now to dazzle my work colleagues with my well honed chop-stick skills.

A beautiful weekend
What a weekend we just had! Beautiful clear blue skies, sunney, warm weather and no excuse to stay indoors.
So after my morning run, I took the girlfriend for a bit of country walking. Nothing too strenuous, although it took us a good hours walk to reach a nice riverside pub. Stopped for some lunch and a pint, then sauntered on some more.

"I Don't Do Sandals"
That's what I quite firmly told Rebecca just a few hours AFTER she'd been out shopping and bought herself all manner of flip flops, sandals and shoes. But worst of all, she had decided to buy us both a pair of Crocs. Red Crocs for her and blue Crocs for me. It was a kind gesture I suppose, so I should have been more...mindful of her feelings.

I'm not dead...not yet anyway
Running has been good. So good in fact that I've neglected to update my blog. Although that's mostly due to purchasing a property, which has a been a hard and drawn out nightmare in itself. But the nightmare is coming to an end.
More updates on my running soon... -
muddy morning run
I decided to go for a run along the riverside this morning. It was great to take in the water, the trees, little yachts moored up and all the ducks, moorehens and coots. I even saw a heron perched on one of the canal boats. He didn't seem bothered by me at all and watched me run past without a care. I was more concerned about him spearing me ( Read more... ) -
Food & Walking Trainers
Last night I got all creative in the kitchen and made me and Bex some Turkish Lamb which went down a storm, even if it was rather spicy.
Now, I'm crap when it comes to cooking, but I managed to find a couple of health, running and walking websites online. I found this one in particular which seems quite new, but if you don't mind all the adverts, ( Read more... ) -
"Your Missus is Doing the Ironman!?"
Met up with an old work colleague for a drink and a catch up last night. Haven't seen the chap in about 6 months since I left my last job. But he was the same cheerful guy, who while not happy in his work was still very content in life, skiing in the French Alps (the week before us I might add), back packing in Australia and going on Safari in ( Read more... ) -
Runnng on Saturday in the Sun
It was a beautiful day on Saturday, so I took the chance to go for a nice long run. Totally killed myself, but it was worth it and great fun to run under a clear blue sky for a change. Got back, cooked some chicken pie (yum), then Mel came round with his Wii and the new House of the Dead Overkill game. Totally awesome game!
Didn't see Bex on ( Read more... ) -
Running feels good!
It was great to go running before work this morning. The legs were a little stiff, but I got going after a few minutes of freezing cold and wet, watery footpaths. I got back in time for a shave and a shower, then hopped into the car to drive to work. Although my legs are aching a little more than usual, I feel fantastic for it. Considering how ( Read more... ) -
Merrel Snow Boots
What with all the snow, ice and slush, I haven't been running for obvious reasons. But I have been especially pleased with my choice of Merrell footwear bought especially for the skiing holiday. When I got a phone call inviting me to the pub for a swift half with some friends I haven't seen for ages, I was worried about getting the car out (having ( Read more... )
