Last night, whilst doing the leg routine, I also did some boxing then some intense goalie training. This involved sprinting [...]

Last night I ended up doing about 10-15 minutes of the i-train session 9 and decided I wasn’t really in the mood for it.
I then decided to head off for a run around West Melton to force myself to exercise. I’m not sure, I think I actually like running now rather than being stuck [...]

It’s a little spicy but very delicious and nice warm dish for the coming cold winter. I wouldn’t [...]

Last night, got home a little late for cooking and decided to change the food for fast access. I’ve update yesterday’s details and [...]

Heading back to my car, I had received a parking ticket - [...]
