Its been too long

So, how long has it been? 3 months at least. Just shows how much my life has changed since joining Ellipsis.

It also shows how easy it is to let a blog slip when you get tied up with work to the point that when you do have a free moment you’ve lost the habit of putting it out for the world to see.

Well, here I am, in on a friday while Yash has a well deserved night out with mates. Had a few things on my mind so thought it was about time I put finger to key.

Firstly, I broke the 1000k mark this week on my nike plus. Don’t know about you but that feels like a pretty long way. It has taken me 9 months. I reckon that’s not bad going considering that I hardly have the chance to get out running these days.

I’ve also broken a few PBs too. (seeing as the WordPress plugin doesn’t work anymore. Will look in to that). Last month I broke the 10 minute mark for 3k! Well chuffed about that. Actually that’s about it I think. Oh well.

I’ve signed up for the marathon next year too. Fingers crossed I get in. I’ve also signed up with WaterAid, a client of mine, should I not make the selection process. Hopefully they’ll put their faith in me. Having said that whenI’m out running I do wonder why I would want to run that far. Or if I can. I’ve managed 20km in 1h20 so I’m hoping for a sub 3hr time if I do it.

I’m also planning to do the London Triathlon again. I hope to do the olympic which I missed last time after being hit by a car. The only problem is that I still don’t have a proper road bike to compete with. Hopefully that will be resolved by the race. That is one I really look forward too.

Another thing that has happened is that Bo turned two. She is amazing. With yash out tonight the attention has been one to one which really gives you the chance to absorb the change and developement. Clearly I have no real idea what a normal 2 year old is like but it amazes me to see how much she has developed. In every way. We were looking at a book and she pointed out the Flamingos! She seems to have an amazing memory for words. I guess the same is true of all kids that age as they repeat everything you say.

All I can say is that being a father is the single best thing that has ever happened to me. No matter what is going on in my life I only have to look at Bo and it brings warmth to my heart and gives me reason to believe in good.
