Well, didn’t life just get a bit crazy. Being at UNSW a lot, while trying to get my business accelerating and doing my MBA. Not to mention the 3 busy kids. I don’t think I’m going to beat myself up too much about the other goals I’ve missed on. But in really ... Read More

Very excited to say that I ticked off one of my goals today. I got my first Dan black belt in taekwondo! Even though my kalma routine left something to be desired (how did I drop them… Twice!) I still made it. Very very excited to have that belt with ... Read More

As befits my training blog I should summarise what I’ve done since I last posted, it’s been crazy with life, so glad training still got a look in, even if blogging didn’t: Wednesday: Short run (5km) after a late night Thursday: A bit of strength training in the morning; ... Read More

A pretty mundane training day for me – a little strength work first thing, a quick 700m swim at lunch, and then taekwondo in the evening. It was the evening that brought the exciting news: our Grand Master Ridvan Manav successfully went for his 9th Dan in Korea. Total pinnacle of ... Read More
