So, I looked at this site and realised that my last post was in AUGUST! Wow, didn't realise I had let it slip quite so bad. Anywho... so I thought I would put a quick summary of whats been going on, on the blog.
1. Working hard.
So, you know I run my own company right? Well, I do enVirtua. It's a wonderful thing running your own business, all the challenge, all the reward! Unfortunately it also includes all the stress, long days (and nights), lots of travel and it generally making you do things you never thought you'd do or would have to do.
I'm not knocking it, the cloud backup slash virtual network shared drive has started to grow in popularity which is good as it looked like it wasn't a winner for a while there. And I have been swamped with good work for over a year now. So much it is affecting how much more business I can generate (as in new clients) it's a wonderful curse to have!
2. Judo is taking over whats left!
So, for a longtime now (since I left Edinburgh almost), my coaching was pretty much short burst and my focus was theoretical, academic and geeky (websites). This has all changed over this year.
I now coach not one, not two, but THREE Judo clubs now! Kids in Alresford, Students in Southampton Solent and adults (military) at HMS Collingwood. And I should probably mention the soon to start after school club at the local Junior School.
Add on top of that my http://www.rwjl.net Judo research project, which I will post about at some point and also trying to help a young New Zealand Judo athlete... well, it's chewing up the remaining time pretty well.
Again, it's a great curse to have!
3. Getting fat!
People, I have a problem, I'm in my late 30's and I drive a computer for a living... and the result is I'm increasingly a tub of lard. :-(
More accurately, my BMI is rather higher than I like, or a doctor would like. I'm not fit and I feel it. So I am running again.
Being the type of guy I am, I've signed up for a Half Marathon in February. I am also signed up to a training programme from Jeff Galloway which I am following using RunKeeper. It maps and tracks all my runs, so people can stalk my panting around the village. :-)
What else.... loads of stuff, but for now that will do.
Oh did I mention RWJL? BLog post to follow soon. ;-)
