Still in Barcelona :(

Hello

Still training as much as possible. Have been here 2 weeks now and have ran 22 miles, running every other day. Have today entered for the Reading Half Marathon and a sprint Triathlon in London in August.

Been doing crunches and press-ups in my room as much as possible but working from 7am until 10pm is draining to say the least especially when its on a morning that I run because I have to run at 5.45am to make sure I am at work by 7am!!!

Only 4 more days here though before I am home for a week then I am on to Hong Kong for 12 days (deep joy!!)

Another day in Paradise (not)

Still working hard with a bunch of nerds in Barcelona (Microsoft Teched).
Finished work at 1am this morning, got to bed at 1.45am and was out for a 3 mile run at 6am!! Did press-ups and crunches when I got back. Feeling good now but it's going to be another very long day so I see a lot of coffee drinking in my near future!!

Hi I am Mark and I am 38 years old. 7 years ago I was in a major car accident and gained over 5 stone so weight gain has been a problem for me ever since!!! :(

Thanks to Ryan I am getting a body back that I am not ashamed of.

Sorry I have been so rubbish at putting anything in here but as Ryan explained in my intro I am travelling all over the world so have very little time to do anything!!!

This morning I ran 4.5 miles at 6.30am in Barcelona (very cold!!!)
Did the best I could with my workout last night (finished working at 11.30pm so not easy!) There is no fitball or weights here so it was quite a limited workout but better something than nothing!!
