Yes, terribly sorry. These are my feet. Two days of running consecutively has taken its toll. Did a 6.90km run yesterday, was huffing and puffing quite well when at about 3km in my shins said see ya later and grabbed me by my ears and frog marched me back home. Today, not learning from my mistakes, pain and utter past anguish I ran another 5 or so Kms. If you're walking about in London and you see that guy walking across the pavement like John Wayne - that's pribably me, do stop and say hi.

I've just performed corrective surgery on my blisters - got out the puncture repair kit, spot light and surgical apparatus and, well now I only got 4 toes on me right foot... no not really, but that's how I tense the surgery was.

Also started an interesting trial - downloaded this app for my phone which should help you understand what you're eating - nutritional value, calories etc... that sorta junk. so now im trying this out, noting my calorie intake, lowering my fat intake and just generally being more aware. I think I'm trying to slim up.(sub-consciously I think, because I'd never confess to thinking I'm a little saggy around the mid section or anything ) With me bulking up at the moment(gym) I'm rather loathed to have to work needlessly hard to burn calories in the gym because in just not considering which and what intake is beneficial to be. Probably, explains to two rubs(oh a pun crime) recently. I will say this, I feel more taught, firmer and generally more lean after I've done a good sweaty run. Another thing I've noticed is that it's hard to take this body running. I've become quite a bit stockier. Sometimes it feels like I'm carrying two bags around my neck. It's also good for my heart. We've got history of heart problems in our family so I'm going to be as proactive as I can to prevent that from inhibiting my life. Stress and boredom too are negated by this get up and go routine if late(not that im terribly bored)

It's been an interesting study this far with me buying only low fat products and being aware that they need to be burned off at some stage.

anyways my feet are paying the price now and I keep having glimpses, flashbacks, nightmares of a documentary of James Cracknell and indirectly the state of his feet after a finishing a race and I'm thinking, I can do better - my feet aren't nearly as knarly as his normally are. Quite an insane goal and strange...

So far, low fat cheese sucks, but low fat yogurt is great. Not so keen on remembering all the calories but a keen insight helps fuel a keen result.

Moderation moderation moderation.

So the sun is killing my productivity in the office. I know, listen to me - I'm bloody complaining while we are having the most beautiful weather since I can remember! But wait, the weather is great and I love it, but I'm kinda, you know sorta, like melting in the office - My flow(lol) is being interrupted, my zen is whacked and my zone is totally zoned out and this is leaving me and my "buizness"(you gotta say it in a Russian accent) pretty zonked out!

But hey, I'm ranting again and still I had an awesome day yesterday. Uploaded some videos from my iPhone to YouTube, had a pretty sweet luck in the sun(see ok it's not that bad) and was pretty chilled.

Today the Danish going on(and I need to catch up on the work I didn't do yesterday!!)
