The trek that ended in a trap.

Hey all/anyone/everyone,


sorry it's been a few days but nothing has really happened that's been note worthy until today. Me and Tom (@NounandtheNouns on twitter) went on a huge trek that led us to places neither of us has seen in the 2 and a half years we've lived in Bangor. The ultimate goal was the Treborth Garden Centre, it was so worth it.


Meet the guys:


Admiral Ackbar:

Simply because "IT'S A TRAP!".

Nerfherder (possibly Megatron):

Just because, oh and Megatron after Calvin Johnson and the fact that everything I currently own is named that.

God Bless.

One last thing before Bangor.

Hey all/anyone/everyone,

just another brief note for anyone around the Bangor area wanting to take part in the 10k run/jog, here is a link to the page:

Bangor 10k 2012.

God Bless.

The final stretch.

Hey all/anyone/everyone,


tomorrow I head back to University for the final stretch of my University life. 2 and a half years gone just like that, so many changes both personally and also to Bangor itself. I actually can't wait to get back to Bangor.

Things to be excited for:

1. Seeing my University friends, in particular Tom (@NounandtheNouns), Dave, (@BuscuitDave) and Sarah (@Kaibaonfire), plus tons that aren't on Twitter/that I'm too lazy to include.
2. Watching the Detroit Lions start their post-season campaign.
3. Playing lots of video games.
4. Starting swimming again after 5 years, plus the gym.
5. Training for the 10k in May.
6. A double bed.
7. Filling in my application to Soul 61.
8. Starting my new positive outlook on stuff in 2012.

Things that I can live without:

1. An obscene amount of work.
2. Paying rent.
3. The wretched mood and feelings that saw me through most of 2011.
4. Bitch Hill.
5. Waiting for a response and possibly not getting into Soul 61 starting November.

Anyway, today I managed a 2.4km but I lost the details from the app which was highly annoying, yet still I'm proud I managed to push myself further before moving back to Bangor.

God Bless.

Victory at the close.

Hey all/anyone/everyone,

as I said from my mini post a little earlier I went to the cinema and since have returned home and just completed my second jog in two days. the cinema was also good.

The Cinema:

• Film - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
• Length - About 2 and a half hours.
• Opinion - Actually a really good film, don't let the length put you off if you've never read the book because it goes in a flash and is gripping throughout. I've never read the book or watched the original European film version, however, watching the English/American version has really given me the drive to pick my Dad's copy up and read the trilogy. Also the acting was immense, especially from Daniel Craig.
• Favourite line - "CAAT!?" - Daniel Craig. Just funny.

The Jog/Run:

App used: Runmeter which was really decent.
Run stats:

• Run time: 6:55
• Distance: 1.07km
• Av Pace: 6:27/km
• Elevation 102 meters.

So this time I tried the pavement route, felt much easier despite the 20 seconds extra it took me. The reason that I'm sticking to around the 1 km mark in distance is that I'll be going back to Bangor on Saturday and will have to pick a new route and accommodate for hills, I'll also have the use of treadmills. In other words I'm achieving a short but comfortable distance as a sort of fall back for my new route planning come Saturday.

So anyway, cold showers are definitely my friend!

God Bless.

Just a quick note.

Hey all/anyone/everyone,

I'm currently watching the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, after this ill head home, do my jog and finish the evening playing FIFA with my old friend. Oh, I'll probably also give a little review of the film.

God Bless.
