Olympic Torch comes Home

Another easy day today just taking the opportunity to do 10ks in total , Did a 3k/2k/1k effort with my client who was working at 4.30, 4.12 and 3.52 for each rep that was perfect for me, and then did an easy lap(4ks) tagged on the end. Legs still felt very heavy mind you even doing that so hopefully another days rest will help out.
Had Mikey Conway constantly on email to me wanting a wager for Saturday, but he wants 60 seconds head start..........Dream on mate :)
Out for my swim in the morning, lets just hope its more productive then last Fridays effort.

See the Olympic torch is out doing it rounds over the English Country and is passing through my old hometown of Stoke On Trent overnight, Big crowds lined the streets for it and it looked pretty good in all honesty. Got the local rag down there and some photos  up, Check it out -

Also see its the Queens Diamond Jubilee (marks 60 years of the Queens  reign) all set for England next Monday and all the country is abuzz with all the special features laid on from carnivals, concerts, to Mad Hatter's Tea Parties, it looks like it will be very special time over there and i have heard even HuRTS #1 girl Laura is getting her best China out to help celebrate come Saturday afternoon :).
Even our very own Enda has got in on the act (again) with his sweet sister sending me a photo of when he meet our queen when he was a wee lad back in his homeland., You just can't keep him out the headlines these days.

Enda in his younger days meeting the Queen,


....and some 30 years later ......He still has a soft spot :)

cheers

  1. I'm surprised Irish kids were allowed that close to the Queen 30 years ago. He still has his old IRA haircut today.
