I’ve just got back from holiday. Delayed flights meant we finally crawled into bed just before 2am so I’m completely exahusted today and my first workout back was very much a “let’s just get in the gym and have a shot at doing something” rather than a properly structured workout.
We were doing some trekking in the Alps and , after a couple of days of bad weather, deep snow col crossings, exposed icy ridges and a complete whiteout while crossing over the Italian-Swiss border, the baking sun and blue skies emerged and provided us with glorious views for the rest of the week.
I had gone into the holiday completely frazzled. I’ve been driving myself hard at work at the moment, due to a couple of big projects that I’ve got on, and juggling the long hours and endless driving up and down the country that has come with the project work with my workouts, blog writing and other home commitments had left me on a bit of a mental precipice by the time we flew off last Saturday.
The week away gave me some time to mentally rejuvenate (even if I’m physically tired) and also gave me some valuable thinking time. I’ve therefore decided that for the immediate future I’m going to cut down my blog posts to five a week. It’ll mean a couple of minor changes with my “Powerlifting Progress” post moving to Monday and the “Lessons Learned” posts no longer being a fixed feature, instead being mixed in with other Wednesday posts. I’m hoping it will mean I can find a bit more time to research for the posts again which is really important to me and should mean that you all get some good quality material to read – once things quieten down I’ll see if I can get back up to six posts again.
Having said all that, you’re probably wondering why there’s a post today. Since today is Sunday.
We’ve got hundreds of amazing photos from the holiday of some big mountain scenery and it seems that, often unknown to me, Chris has been taking quite a few photos of me. So many that I need to do a double installment of photos from the holiday. Hopefully this will give you a chance to find out what I look like in my preferred natural habitat!
If you like the pictures below, look out for more tomorrow!

...and when it wasn't sunny...
...we just kept walking!
I'd love to be back out there again, already.
