Back To My First Blog

It’s been over 2 years since I started my blog. Back then I had ideas of travelling to either America or Japan (prior to earthquakes etc) after seeing some of the UK.

In the end after a month I decided to try to get back into the workplace so I could fund overseas travels. 

Rather than the 4 months it had previously taken me to find work between jobs this time it has taken 26 months!

During this time I managed to eat away at the funds I’d saved. Twice I got back into debt but in using eBay to sell many of my items and a nice tax refund I am now back in credit (not much but credit!).

My new temporary job entails doing the daily commute back to Manchester but the trek to the station will help re-build my stamina after 2 months off from any cardio since I reached 1,000 miles over an 18 month period last November.

In my time off I’ve become fitter for 40, walked the whole 97 miles of the Cheshire Ring, and completed both the Gritstone Trail and the Dane Valley Way. Did a bit of running and got up to 5km in one go.

I’ve enjoyed volunteering (my name should be appearing in print this Spring) and becoming a Cheshire Marshal.

My YouTube channel has attracted over 7,000 views and currently 91 videos.

Going forward in 2013 I’ll continue to help support events as a Marshal. Build up to run 10km in one go. Get back to walking the Wales Coast and continue adding videos to my YouTube channel.
