It’s a very tough time of year for me. 13 January represents three years since my Dad died. There’s nothing I can say or do to change that. It’s not a day to celebrate or mark, but it does represent a day where my life changed forever. Friday 8 January was supposed to be my…

Blog: A time to reflect
Happy New Year! I hope 2021 brings good health and happiness to you all. Over the Christmas break, I was watching the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special from 2019 with my wife.

Resolutions
Resolutions, love them or hate, many of us artifically try to change our life on the 1 January each year. They are rarely more than a statement of intent, there is no real planning or depth behind the idea. As we move through January, resolutions often fade from our memory or become a tool to…

Back to Running, week 3
New running shoes have really helped make a difference for me. I was rinning before in a more general pair of gym trainers. Which are great for weight lifting, but not so supportive for running. I have always struggled to find comfortable shoes, especially for fitness activities. To add to it, England is currently in…
Blog: Maybe I am dreaming out loud
I have to admit, yesterday was a pretty bad day for me. The news of the new Tier system for England was really the icing on the cake to cap off a day where I was already feeling off. But today is another day, and I am aiming to end my week on a more…
Back to running, week two
I have just started my third week of running. I’ve been enjoying the variety it has added to my workout schedule. Last week an old ankle injury flared up, so I took a couple off running. Having a fairly diverse workout schedule means I can be flexi and adapt my plans when my ankle is…
Blog: Challenging the lie of perfection
Perfection? Sounds great doesn’t it. It sounds ideal, relaxing. The thing is perfection does not exist. Chasing perfection is a journey with no end. You cannot achieve perfection, there will always be something that changes. The myth of perfection really damages people. The burden of never feeling good enough can wreck us. Life is supposed…
