Puddles
October 7th 2019 Today I started running again, and it was cold and full of puddles but it was great fun. I signed up to go with two of the faster, more frequent runners at our work running club and … Continue reading Puddles

Pinta
September 5th 2019 Today I won the final round of this golf holiday by chipping in for a par on the 16th of Vale de Pinta. Jake was on the green ready to putt for net par, and I’ve kind … Continue reading Pinta
Royal
September 4th 2019 Today I creamed the front nine and bottled the back nine of the Vale do Lobo Royal course. I birdied the second hole, sank a thirty foot putt on four and drilled a six iron onto the … Continue reading Royal
Palmares
September 3rd 2019 Today I hit some fantastic drives, and holed a few big putts at Palmares golf resort in he Algarve. It was probably one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I’ve ever played, and definitely amongst the … Continue reading Palmares
Lobo
September 1st 2019 Today we played the first round of our week long golf holiday in the Algarve. I lost. Fuck. For the front nine I was too distracted by the overwhelming joy of being on a golf holiday to … Continue reading Lobo
Faro
July 30th 2019 Today I booked another holiday because it is unacceptable that I’ve not been out of the country for almost six weeks now. We’ve been talking about booking a golf holiday for ages, and today we finally found … Continue reading Faro
Twice

Faceplant
July 25th 2019 Today I marked my triumphant return to running with a bang, and a crash, and a faceplant. I was so giddy to be out running, on this the hottest day of the year/century/planetary existence, that I decided … Continue reading Faceplant
Sweat
July 22nd 2019 Today I wanted to say that I’ve officially started a new “exercise every day for 21 days” challenge, but I played football this evening and my feet are in a bad way, so it’s possible that I’ll have to stop my streak after one day. There’s this trend going around Instagram called “100 Days Of Sweat” wherein, and get this, you sweat for 100 days. Or, more accurately and less grossly, you do some form of exercise every day for 100 days. Sweating all day every day would not be fun. I’ve done a 21 consecutive day … Continue reading Sweat
Puffed
July 15th 2019 Today I played football and realised that my base level of fitness is completely gone. I’m not a fantastic footballer, but the one thing that has always given me an advantage when I play five/six-a-side is that I can run fast, and I can run far. Well, I used to be able to. When everyone else was struggling towards the end of the match, I’d still be sprinting up and down the pitch, and that made me look better than I probably am. That’s gone now though, it seems. The reason my fitness has gone is that … Continue reading Puffed
