Quick update: I managed the Bupa Great Capital 10k run last weekend. It was a great run for me as I managed the full thing without having to walk at any point and broke the 70 minute barrier. I've also managed to maintain an injury free post race me though and above everything else, that's probably the most pleasing aspect. What's next? London Triathlon in two weeks time. All I need to do now is get...

This is the race my evil friends are urging me to do--the inaugural Olympic distance thankfully does NOT include this tiny speed bump. I'm not sure if this video is gonna PUMP. ME. UP.!

Fark all you snarky bastards who can't think of anything nice to say about this guy. He got his law degree, hunts, swims, plus many other outside activities, and has his own law practice.

I especially like all the little signs left on the ground for our hero to crash through. Were there no carefully constructed houses of cards or plate glass windows or collapsible tables available? He really could have...
