    I had an interesting idea a few weeks ago. I don’t listen to my iPod when I’m running or cycling, but I know that many people do. Kim won’t go without hers. I also know that interval training in both running and cycling are very important in developing speed and muscle energy systems. Running intervals…

    I’m back in work again this week, as we have a week of resit exams for the first years. The first exam that I was involved in today had bats flying round the room half-way through. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come this week. We may have a plague of locusts…

    I’m working from home for a few days this week (I’m supposed to be taking holiday, so this is maybe a compromise) to spend more time with Kim and Jack. This is what they do on rainy days – they make plasticine BMW’s.

    Burying Jack on the beach. Fishing with Kim for bass. Building sand castles. Saw this in the car park. Religion *and* a sense of humour?

    Today we went to Bristol Zoo. It was rather good. The lions even woke up and roared for us as we were about to leave.

    I’ve been picking up the triathlon training over the last 5 or 6 weeks. You may remember that I was getting very bored, so starting running again seemed like a good idea. My various injuries seem to be staying down so far, and running is good. Swimming and cycling have been picking up too, and…

    I’m a little slow to catch up, because I’ve been involved in a number of things recently, but I’ve been reading up on Floyd Landis’ failed drug test. If you haven’t heard, the winner of this year’s Tour de France failed a test for testosterone levels after his stage win that put him back within…

    I am sat in a series of very slow, official, dull meetings. It’s too warm, there is too much paperwork, and it’s hard to maintain focus (especially if you’re blogging from your PDA). All I can think about is how much I’m looking forward to going for a swim after all this. Warm up, 4x…

    Kim says she wants to buy a Playstation 3 when they come out. Honest, this was not my idea. She really does want a game console. I swear I didn’t put her up to it. She loves playing the musical genre of games, like Songstar (the karaoke game) and Buzz (the music quiz game). Jack…
