Keeping fit

Posted on Tuesday, 12 July, 2011 by Jeremy

I went for a run around the corner (yes in the real world outside of a gym) and found a local park that I didn’t know existed. A dimly lit path through some bushland and quite overgrown. It’s good to get out moving even if it’s cold, but my ankles and shins are killing me. I need to run more often I think!

Did a short 3.2km ride at Bunyaville, barely spun the legs but it was good to get out on the bike again.

Whilst I was searching for something else I found this note on the importance of hydration. Make sure you have plenty to drink this summer!

Uncertainty

Posted on Friday, 1 October, 2010 by Jeremy

Woke to sudden acute pain. Enough pain for me to go for tests. Wasn’t sure the cause and still don’t know. Medical testing however has apparently determined that I’m in excellent health.

Finally got my bike back from Cannondale and finally got offroad again. It was great fun and I hope to do more of it again soon.

Your feet are too big!

Posted on Friday, 30 April, 2010 by Jeremy

I’m surprised to note the area where I least expected to get smaller when I lost weight was my feet. I never though I had fat feet as such, but I’ve noticed that my feet are now smaller than they have been and I have to do up my shoes much tighter in the laces or they start falling off! Weird.

Resolutions

Posted on Wednesday, 21 April, 2010 by Jeremy

Mistakes were made, there is no doubt about that. Sitting here I have a movie playing in my head of series of events – of incorrect thinking and extremely poor choices that caused me stumble down the path which I eventually travelled. No matter how much I regret how things turned out, it won’t make the situation any better. What’s done is done and no matter how badly I wish I could make amends it doesn’t appear like a situation is going to present itself to lead to that end. I could keep going down this path or I could try to repair myself, to seek help. To assist myself to improve rather than always looking for the next person who might need a hand. In order to have a future with anyone – to help anyone. I first need … Continue reading →

Lack of choice?

Posted on Saturday, 16 January, 2010 by Jeremy

Yesterday I investigated five seperate bike shops on the south side of Brisbane and was quite disappointed in the lack of choice and variety in the stocked mountain bike tyres. Very few UST choices and shops universally only carried the Maxxis range – and even then they left out the more interesting choices. It’s no wonder so much business goes overseas to online bike stores, not just for their low prices but if you want variety you don’t appear to have much choice!

Mountain biking in Scotland

Posted on Wednesday, 11 February, 2009 by Jeremy

I’ve just discovered another reason to visit Scotland. Apparently they have excellent Forestry Commision supported mountain biking over there. They have a site which lists trails available and from the description it sounds like it would be definately worth a visit.
