Four Zero

I’m forty. How did that happen? Here have been a few close shaves in life, but I made I through. What a week! 

First, my mate Tom got me this incredible Cameo video from former UFC heavyweight champ Randy Couture!

 

Friday night: a meal in Littleborough pub The White House. A family tradition. 

 

 

Saturday morning, the extended family darted over to Harewood Court in Leeds for a 5K Inflatable Run. I prepped for this with a local route of a similar distance, without any obstacles, plus a lot of gym sessions / classes. We had the younger – and older - generations with us so was a leisurely paced jog around a country manor, interspersed with giant inflatable obstacles to climb over, under and through.

Mum had prepped some amazing Power is a State of Mind t-shirts that the family wore on the course! Find more Inflatable 5K info. 

Next, my parents and I dropped into The Northern Quarter for food – I had a few ideas, but we stumbled on Purezza, a vegan joint serving convincing and tasty pizzas. 

 

 

I gathered a few mates together for a few drinks in Eastern Bloc, a house and tech bar at night and coffee shop during the day. 

 

 

I then managed to stumble into a house party, then onto Genting Casino, by which time it was pissing it down. I somehow used a Jedi mind trick on the manager to get him to put UFC on, but then the casino shut just before the Nunes v Pena fight. Not the greatest ending to an evening, but a brilliant weekend nontheless.
