Taken at Sun Moon Lake around 3 months ago on a normal hot and sunny day in Taiwan. Sometimes I moan at the weather for being too hot. But the beauty that is apparent when the sun gleams upon the plants and the general area makes the environment glow. Everything also becomes more green as there is a good mixture of heavy rain and heavy sunshine!
Nice, heh?
Originally created on January 1st, 2020: Updated daily until the end of January. I've decided that I will be keeping a log this year of all the runs that I've done this year by day and have a blog page for each month of the year. This blog post specifically will be...
I am still alive and well! I've realised that I've not posted on this blog in a while, so thought I'd take some time to write this blog post to give an update on what I've been up to. First of all, I'm now a published co-author. I work in the marketing field,...
Hanging around or about in Kentish Town? Want to go somewhere nice for brunch? Why not stop by over at Saint Espresso kitchen, just a 1 minute walk from Kentish Town underground station. The cafe is usually quite busy on the weekends and at around lunch time, so...

This is more of a retrospective post, looking at how I managed to do the London Marathon on April 26th, 2015. The London Marathon was my first, and currently only marathon that I've ever done. It holds a special milestone in my life, given all the issues I had gone...
Today I ran 6.03km, which is the longest distance I have run so far this year. It was a slog, and it wasn't easy, but I'm getting back into it having now completed 4 runs this month. I started off where I live in Tufnell Park, headed down through Kentish Town, then...
As part of my plan/goal for 2020, I want to lose weight and get jacked up. I've gone through quite a journey, historically speaking, and given my sort of bumpy road of losing weight, then gaining weight, and then being content, and then not being content with my...

I have not run properly in a good while so I found today's run quite tough actually. It was definitely not an easy run - given that Christmas and New Year's had me eat a lot of food and frankly, I've not been eating with health in mind - let's just say. So as part of...
It's now officially 13 minutes past, and we're well into 2020. For the past 3 years, I've been going to Hampstead Heath Park with Victoria Levine, to celebrate with the many hundreds that turn up to watch the London firework celebrations from afar: Here you can see a...
