T-28 Endurance comes from Perseverance not Perfection
This week has been a Wonder Week - emotionally turbulent, unsettling but a leap of emotional growth. I learnt this week the insidiousness of self-sabotage and I learnt the value of asking for help.

T-33 and the hamstrings are singing
The achilles recovery continues to progress which has meant an increase in training load with 10kms of running put in the bank last week.
T-34 and we're into autumnal training
It’s very nearly daylight savings and to celebrate we’re going to talk a little bit about sweat nets



New York: Statue bro?
Every time I see a statue, the dreadful old joke about what one kiwi statue said to another floats through my brain. It does sometimes mean stifling an inappropriate urge to snigger - it's possibly not the done thing to ask Lady Liberty "statute bro?".

On the streets of New York
We have done ALOT of walking whilst we've been in New York. We've found that it's a city that's much easier to navigate via walking and almost everything is within walking distance of where we were staying in midtown. For almost all of the holiday, we've both done over 10,000 steps a day but in New York, we've more than doubled that each day.

NY NY
New Years in New York. It's the stuff of bucket lists and dreams and we are so lucky to be here. We've pinched ourselves a few times on this trip - it's the culmination of a redundancy, some saving and a year of detailed planning and I think we've thought it so often that actually living it feels a little surreal.

No Sleep Till Brooklyn
We’re doing all the forms of transport this holiday and so it's a train from Niagara to New York.

Two billion years of water torture
Dimension means nothing to the senses, and all we are left with is a troubled sense of immensity
