Thinking time

I have never been a huge fan of running although I like the simplicity of pulling on your shoes and just going. Cycling involves a lot more "faffing" around getting all your gear ready takes time and it's easier to day dream while running - less likely to have an accident!
So this morning I did my 6 miles in the heat and my mind wandered back to how this journey started which will come in handy when I write the book.
I was at a charity boxing match and drunk. I was challenged to get into the ring the following year and alcohol and ego are a bad mixture. So 12 months later I was in the ring which started this journey to Ironman and beyond. The boxing was tough but I loved the feeling of fitness and have never looked back.
Some how this journey was meant and I'm loving it.
