Rough Runner Training

It has begun...

So some of my mates have decided it would be a brilliant idea to sign us up for an obstacle course; 5km challenge.

Anyway, I am not one to flake on a challenge so I accepted 😊 and now have started the gruelling training regime.

I go running twice a week, on my lunch break with work colleagues. About 4.4km running and then stopping in one of the parks and doing some core (abs and "ting") workout each day.

In the beginning it was so hard... I felt like death itself (not exaggerating obviously 🙈) but now I feel great. I was always keen on working both my body and mind but this year was not great for me and I let things get to me.

I feel a different man again and now on a fitness journey.

These are some of the results from a training session. I am improving with every run:

My diet has also been cleaned up a tad bit though not completely. (Hey, don't judge 😂).

Here are some of the things I've been eating; beetroot, spinach, eggs, etc:

Also, see my previous post for other foods I've been eating 😋😋: View Post

I'll definitely be going hard and posting more fitness related stuff.

I love great, delicious food

I am feeling so hungry just looking at the pics 😯😢.

Food is such an intimate thing for everyone and I have been very intimate this year (stayed focused now).

I have to confess that I am one of those weird people who love taking pics of their food before they eat... even when starving.

The following are some pics I have taken of some of the most delicious foods I have eaten this year thus far and YES, I cooked one or two of them myself (hey, trumpets were made to be blown).

Do you like and what delicious foods have you had lately?


Lobster, pasta, etc:

Avocado, poached egg, etc:

Chicken + vegetable soup:

Chicken teriyaki, rice, etc:

Lasagne, tomato sauce, etc:

Pork, "cheesy thingy", etc:

Shepherd's pie:

Chicken, rice, lentils, etc:

😉 CHEERS 😊

London to Carriacou - The Complete 3 Part Series

I recently travelled to Carriacou (a luscious and beautiful island just off of Grenada in the Caribbean), the land where I grew up, and had such an amazing time seeing family and friends.

Spent some time on the beaches and enjoyed the warm sunshine as well as the delicious, organic foods and fruits on offer.

I have documented some of the trip in video format so in these 3 episodes I will be showing my journey from London to Carriacou via Trinidad.

Watch the videos and as usual, hope you enjoy and do feel free to leave comments. Also, please check out my YouTube channel and SUBSCRIBE for notifications on the next video. I will be posting content every week or so on different, interesting topics.

Money Money Money Money!

We give way too much value to money itself then we do to the opportunities it allows us to part-take in.

We need to start seeing money for what it is and then we can truly appreciate its use as simply a tool which we can leverage to gain knowledge, resources, etc; and those are the things of true value.

Let me know what you think; you agree or not?

Snowboarding In Chamonix (The Alps)

So, went out to Chamonix, France (The Alps) with my work and had lovely board meetings (snowboard meetings) :)
It is such a beautiful place in the winter and I have seen Google pics of the summer and it also look amazing then. The weather was perfect; sun was out in its glory, there was fresh powder (snow) on the ground from the night before and the slopes were simply magnificent.
The food definitely did not let the locals and the country down as I loved everything I ate and drank (cheese is a big deal in Chamonix and can be found in a lot of their recipes).
I have learnt a lot on and off the slopes in Chamonix and I find the people there to be absolutely charming and a treat to socialise with; very quaint, pretty, little town. If you do intend to go at some point (and I recommend you do), be sure to take the cable car (gondola) up to see the view from "Aiguille Du Midi", 3,842m up. The views are so splendid; look to your right, you see Switzerland, in front of you and you see France then to your left and you see Italy.

Hope you enjoy these photos and video from my snowboarding trip to Chamonix.
I loved every minute of it and will definitely be taking my game up to another level for my return next year!

Growing Up In De Caribbean - Disciplining Kids
Is the way we discipline kids doing more harm than good, especially in a black dominated society?

Growing Up In De Caribbean - Free As A Bird
Are kids still roaming free and keeping active or has social media taken the element of surprise out of doing anything now?

Growing Up In De Caribbean - Education
Parents need to be more involved in their children's education.

Far too often we hear excuses as to why they can't and don't help out in strengthening their child's minds and with improving their children's chance of success in the world.

Growing Up In De Caribbean - Mishaps & Bad Behaviour
I was not always the nice guy... I have had a few encounters with authority and done a few silly things in the past. These are some of my stories.

Notting Hill Carnival 2015

Notting Hill Carnival 2015... were you or your friends captured?

By far the most beautiful carnival experience you will get in Europe and with so many different cultures coming together to celebrate the struggles of black people and other ethnic group of the years it can only be great and get better.

It was a totally beautiful time and if you missed it then make sure you are there next year.
