Squat, bench, DL & occasional running

Felt like doing some cardio today for a change, so headed into the hills and had an amazing trail/offroad run. Awakened the body and mind that's for sure, here's some of the photos I got from this afternoon



Time for a quick sit down and a bit of food after climbing 1,100ft in just 4km



This when I was running through the Hoon Hay Reserve, reminded me of the Malvern Hills back home in the UK



Thiis was taken from inside an old house known as 'Sign of the Bellbird' that was built in the early 1900's. It's built of stone but appeared to have survived all of our earthquakes unscathed. Don't build houses like this one anymore!



VEGAN CALVES !! Just about to head down that track in the background, was really technical, tricky, winding... and so much fun



I really like this photo, about 2/3 of the way through the run. Christchurch lies in the background

Thanks, yeah I like taking photos Got this one of the girls a week or so ago, we climbed through all this bush just to get up to this little peak overlooking the city. They loved it up there !!



Sorry I haven't been updating my log, I have been training when I can but we take over the business on December 1st and I haven't had much spare time to spend on here.

Awesome blog! Loved the family photo! I am British and my wife is Chinese. Our son is 7 months old today!!
Some great-looking vegan dishes, and quality training.
Hugely inspiring. Thanks for posting!!

Your girls look amazing! Can I ask, is your wife Asian? Mine is Indonesian so I am always interested in what the German/Indo combo might come out to be.

Yes, she is Chinese

Very cool. Although it looks like you two were having more fun than the kids!

"German-Indo combo" the word to describe the combination is "bright". A little transcendental perhaps ... our son's Chinese name means "bright light"

Thanks for checking in Gorilla

That photo you posted above seems so old now! Here's a recent one from a couple of weeks ago, the girls are on the same side so you can see how fast they are growing up...
