Freezing Cold to Torrential Rain – Week 1 of Marathon Training
It has been a week of extremes for me both in running and corporate life. Corporately speaking, it was an emotionally challenging week of saying goodbye to someone very loved in the team. I had to juggle my emotions while trying to stay on top of tasks. I worked my longest day ever, physically leaving work at 8PM on Wednesday night and not “clocking off” until after midnight. Throw in an exec visit, Portuguese tarts plus a...
The Golden Ticket for an Epic Run
A few months ago I won the lottery! The lottery for a place in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. I’ve been wanting to run a marathon for quite some time yet the prospect seemed so daunting that I never quite mustered up the courage to commit. Well that has changed. I’ve paid my money, I’m registered, I’m doing this. I’m not actually running it until October 2016 but for...

The scenery itself is...

I won’t ramble on about how awesome I think the Hilton is because I’ll save that for another time but I’m warning you I’m about to rave on and wax lyrical about this gym. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the gym attendant. The space is very small but they pack a lot in. There...
Fitness Bangkok Style
Even though I’m on holiday I do need to look after the figure. After all no one likes a fat punk … especially me since I’ve worked so hard to slim down this year. So my first morning in BKK I had a session at the hotel gym. The Bliston’s gym is quite ok. It has 3 treadmills and 3 bikes plus a limited range of weight machines and dumbells. I hopped on the treadmill and cranked her up to my usual pace (11k ph)...
