Do something today that will help alleviate the things that give you the most anxiety. And live. Live like this is the only life you have, like this day will never be repeated, once gone, always gone. Love. As much as you can spare. Smile. Till your face hurts. Dance. Cause you can. — Brendan

05/07 – 27:33 (full results) Time to get back on the beach for some training. Got to get these times back down again! Way of my by PB of 23:22. I did stop for a quick chat with my cousin along the way but still very slow.
22/08 – 30:02 (full results) Drum roll please…! Well done Angela on your first Parkrun AND on doing your PB for 5k… on your first Parkrun… 🙂 Grats Beautiful. You rocked! Really enjoyed the run with you. 05/08 – 25:35 (full results) Still recovering from a long run the Sunday before (Joan’s Milk Run 15k). Well… also to be honest… I’m just not fit at the moment. But all good. It is winter after. 01/08 – 24:44 (full results) Benj’s 50th Park run! Grats man and well done. Benji is…
Excuse the brevity of this post. Busy time at the moment! So short and sweet it is. Got a beauty of a blue fish on Sunday. We had spectacular conditions, the best all year. And I got two blues. The one in the picture was by biggest blue fish to date. Not sure on the weight. Over 2kgs, under 3? Something like that. It will feed 6 easily so a nice slab. Took it off a shallow reef at Kidds Beach where I stay. Was a great dive. Crystal clean…
As winter breaks in Cornwall and the sun starts rising earlier, you’ll see the small boat fishing fleet of Cornwall steaming out before sunrise every morning. They hunting mackerel. I had the privilege to fish commercially for mackerel out of Mousehole for a season. It was hard work but some of the most rewarding hours I’ve spent at sea. The feeling of a hand line filled with 15+ mackerel as you pull it up and it’s just “silver” coming over the gunwale, it’s exhilarating…. you yank that tiller over hard…
Had a lovely moment of clarity that’s worth sharing. I am exactly where I want to be. I am doing exactly what I want to be doing. My next adventure is not some future goal or dream…it’s this moment, right here right now and every moment hereafter.
May goal: 24:15 (smashed at 23:22!) April best time: 24:26 23/05 – 25:03 (full results) Definitely a slower run today, but hey after smashing into the 23’s last week I figured a nice comfortable run will do me just fine 🙂 Read: I was a bit lazy today. 16/05 – 23:22 (PB) (full results) Over 1 min off my previous PB of 24:26…ran for the first time in my new trainers. I think I like them 🙂 23:22, wow man I was not expecting that! 23:22…enough said. Did I mention…
My dog. My friend. My companion. Mal. What a rock star this chap is and today is his first birthday. In the few months he has been with me he has won me over time and time again with his loving nature, fun spirit and his mischievous streak. Puppies can be challenging. This one is no different. But lots and lots of smiles to go with it. My office chair lost some wheels. My neighbour’s Mum lost some slippers (he actually did a super stealth ninja move one morning into…
