Today the wife and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday and decided to finish it with a traditional aussie Sunday roast for dinner. There are two great things about a roast for dinner, firstly it tastes great, secondly once it’s prepared you pretty much leave it in the over for an hour and a half to cook, and you don’t need to worry about it. In our household...

It’s a Saturday night, a night at home on my own with the kids. So many choices of what to do, should I watch my favourite tv show ‘True Blood’, should I watch the football, or should I get my arse in ‘The Pit’ and train.

Being away from home I had a bit more spare time than normal, so I took advantage of it and trained every day that I was away. Normally I will train on average for about five 30-45 minute sessions a week. These are...

Today marks my last day in Cairns, can’t wait to get home. Last night I worked until 11:00pm and I’m back at work at 8:00am. While I’m working I run into Scuba who invites me to play a game of touch football. He tells me that a  group of people from work go down to the local high school and play touch football at about 4:30pm every Tuesday afternoon....
