What happened to me I hear you ask. Well a few main things have occurred to nip blog writing in the butt. Work - I got real busy. secondly I got engaged to the lovely Hannah and am now in wedding planning mode. thirdly I discovered settlers of Catan online.
I had few comments that people were keen for me to get a blog up. To be honest being a fairly sensitive bloke I become a bit demoralized in camp Had at the lack of comments and apparent interest but the few verbal 'come on sons' have brought me back to the keyboard again.
I have started getting my run on again. inspired by Nick Willis I thought maybe I should take the limelight of him a bit at the next Olympics by running in an event myself. So I thought that London is not too far away and given my present physical condition I better start making in roads.
Running in Shanghai is just average. I don't think I have passed so many people in all my runs in NZ put together than I do each weekday morning as I weave through the streets. Its just ridiculous. its a long distance agility run where you take to the Chinese like markers on an Annalise Coberger downhill slalom. Everyone glares at you hard out as you run past. Its this hard out intrigued glare, like they are watching a Martian trying to catch up to a school bus. its a good thing im not self conscious. For me its good training as I get use to running in front of the big crowds that will be there in London.
On my run this morning I came back via the trusty Anus and intestine Hospital. I heard a mega phone blaring as I ran past. I think they were announcing that they were doing a two for one special this week. So no excuses now. It also occurred to me that I will never eat from any mystery meat hot pot restaurants in a square mile of that place. Weirdly the Anus and Intestine Hospital has pictures on the font showing people in Surgery. receiving treatment from the trusty surgeon. I checked the picture and from the direction the persons feet was facing I was able to ascertain that this was just intestine surgery. Either that or the patient had a particularly bad case of the date in which case it would explain the predominant look of all the specialists who are grasping tools awkwardly in hand looking at one another like - what the heck is that?

I took a sip of my coffee just as I read that you were passing by the trusty anus and intestine hospital... suffice it to say, i almost lost the mouthful of coffee all over the keyboard in a fit of laughter. keep it up son
Good to have you back on board, I was getting tired of reading the last post over and over again, as good as it was.
Very happy about your Olympic aspirations, you'll give Nick Willis a run for his money.
Thanks for that Hadleigh. Its inspiration enough for us all to keep a healthy load of fibre in ones diet. A kiwifruit a day will keep the anus hospital away. xxVicks
