The first week back at training has been a mixed bag. It's been good to get back into a routine; it's been bad that the routine is being knacked and needing afternoon naps. Training itself has gone reasonably well, been doing weights, ergo and water work. All seems to be going ok - I proper chinned myself on the erg for the first couple of days but I settled down by the end of the week. It's been a good laugh catching up with everyone, and with the rugby World Cup in full flow there is plenty to talk about. If you were reading during the Six Nations you will know I like my rugby and Ireland are my team. Things are looking good for them and they seem to be loving every minute they play - the England team seem to be loving every moment they aren't playing.
I recently signed a sponsorship contract with Berry Chiswick BMW (hence the new logo up top). On Saturday I picked up an amazing car. Flicking into sport mode to go to Sainsburys has never felt so good. For the past couple of years I've been loaned a car by my housemate James. I cannot thank him enough for the support he has (and continues) to show me; cash has been very tight at times, and he has helped keep me on the road throughout. Getting to training, to the physio, doctor, weights room etc all requires a vechicle and the more reliable the better. Thanks to Berry Chiswick I will be arriving on 18" alloys with Dolly Parton blaring out from the stereo.
Have a great time in Seville!
