less is more

A hard day at work today as it always is catching up on the missed hours due to the bank holiday earlier in the week. Nevertheless yesterday i had a pretty active day. I headed down to Evolution for a climbing session, about an hour and a half trying out a couple of new routes and training up the old ones too. I wanted to go running too, i want to really get into shape so i have been trying to cut down on unnecessary binges of food at work and at home. This with a bit more exercise should do me some good. I came home after climbing and went back out again for a 5 mile run, over to Tonbridge and back again there is a nice gradient on the way back. I enjoy running up-hill more for some strange reason, it's more of a challenge i guess.

I also had a new idea for a possible trip. I was going through the books in Cotswold when i found a book about Norway's great outdoors. There is some incredible scenery and the mountains and lakes are just amazing. Maybe i'll head that way for a few days, camp out by a lake and climb a few peaks. It should be a nice drive too!



That's all for now, i have a day off tomorrow in which i plan to maybe go for another run and buy some vinyl. I might head down to Brighton as they have some decent shops in where to buy such things for little money.

Running

After attempting to a few tricks on my board thing's weren't going very well. In fact i wasn't feeling it at all and ended up getting frustrated. Too tired, maybe. Just loading up some Trance Anthems on my iPod and heading out for a hilly 5 mile run. Just as the sun is descending it looks quite a pleasant evening out there! Apart from last night's lamb balti which was absolutely stunning i have been trying to eat pretty healthy and keeping my portions down. Combined with a bit of regular exercise this might have positive results!

I leave you with some lyrics that stuck to me at work today.

   "The sky is full of dreams, but you don't know how to fly.
 I don't have a simple answer, but i know that i could answer, something better."

The Killers' "This is your Life".
