So here it is... I've given the blog a new design. Just a bit of fun so don't take it too seriously! The drawings are based on a selection of photos from the past few years, mostly from my first Ironman in France 2007.

In terms of training, things are picking up after the winter break. I'm getting in a run or mountain bike ride almost every day, with a solid 2 hour run on Sundays. All aerobic, just getting a solid base for the rest of the year. I've entered Cannes half for February 14th which will be my first test for the year - looking forward to it.

After a long time with no blogging from me, I've decided to get the back to posting regular blog posts. It's going to be a busy and interesting year as we will be moving back to England. New clubs to join, new races to enter...

In terms of recent activity, I've had a fairly easy few months since the sub 3 hour marathon and I'm now just getting back into some more serious training with a view to doing another marathon in April (another good reason to choose now to start blogging again).
