Remember,
I just got back from Amsterdam.

on my weekend to the Dutch capital later. First, I wanted to point
out that, a month ago, I planned to detox by cooking and eating clean
until I could beat a PB at the
gym.
I have a few more cooking posts in the pipeline, but obviously,
having just been to 'Dam I've broken that vow. I managed to get under
80kg before flying, but only just. Bench press, horizontal dumbbell
fly and running at 14km/ph were steadily improving, but not to PB
level. So: the purpose of this blog post it to say I'm having a break
from clean eating and will try this project again soon.
I also said I wouldn't shave until this point.

In
late December I'll be taking part in the annual Saddleworth Santa Dash, a 5k run
through Oldham's countryside dressed, along with 500 others, as
Father Christmas. Although not a serious race, I'd still like to be
half-decent at running, and as it stands, I'm far from it. So as well
as beating some old gym records, I've got a local route that's
currently taking me about 45 mins to complete, about the same length
of time I expect the Santa Dash to take. It's equally hilly, too, so
should set me in good stead if I make it a regular thing. I'm running with family but I've managed to convice a few others from various meetup groups to take part.
No
meetups in the pipeline at the moment. It's Halloween the weekend
after, though, so keep your eyes peeled.
