I knew it would happen one day!

March 13, 2010

Last week I went to NK.  I have never been one for ‘posh’ dept shops and still have a feeling of being looked down on. Must be something to do with my working class roots.
I needed a new suit. I have a keynote speech to give at a crucial sales conference in Oslo next week [...]

Garmin Forerunner 305 – A James Bond Watch of my very own!

I deliberately plotted a route that I had not run before to [...]

Tonights run was a real [...]
