If you listen from 2h15.

I literally made the studio by 1 min 33 seconds! Talk about timing...... at least I got to run 1km in the process ;)  Happy listening. You might notice that I was slightly short of breath due to me sprinting ;)

Thanks to Gerry Gould at Brainwave for her input.  Love you Gerry xxx

Happy Monday where ever you are in the world and #blisterfreewishes

THIS TIME NEXT WEEK MY DREAMS WILL HAVE BEEN BIGGER THAN MY FEARS

Hello to all my readers the world over - greetings & welcome China,

With only 3 days before I fly and 6 days to my biggest physical challenge to date - I am feeling a little flat, whether is tiredness, anxiety and or just everything about the build up and the release and or realisation of achieving a dream.

Holy molies - we all achieve our dreams through the course of our lives - however how often do you ever achieve the greatest ones?

I wonderful yet complex person - whom I just so happen to know very well - contacted me yesterday with this note:

("Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words. You can master this challenge in the desert."  JAM)  This is probably the most poignant phrase I have ever heard.  It sums the whole challenge up and well me in fact. 

I was going to run a gentle 20 mile jog this morning, but have a groin niggle, so instead I am off to the sauna for a steam and a bit of metal preparation.  My head is all over the place, it is just not that easy to go off, for I have a responsibility, my child and his well being is paramount.  He is all over the place, most children will be any way, however with Bastian's disabilities and complex neuro processing it is even harder.

Currently I am stuck down loading 7508 song to my new replaced iPod...... just typical - at the last second my iPod decides to give in......7508 songs I hear you say, well these songs are my 'just in case' seeing I will be carrying all my equipment on my back and running 160 miles in sand, less is really more.

Friends have asked how is the body..................... well apart from feeling a little fuzzy and flat, ok I guess, I did a gently 5km slow jog yesterday, to get the groin moving, its a little tender and feeling a touch effy..... I can't afford to have my joints, muscles and or anything disrupted.

For those who have asked about mental preparation, well here it is:

ICE BATHS
TURNING OFF TELEVISION
EATING CHOCOLATE CAKE
MEDIATION
BREATHING
BATHING
WALKING
REFLECTING
MUSIC
HUGGING MY SON
EATING & RUNNING WHILST LISTENING TO MUSIC
STEAM BATHS
HOT SAUNAS
FOCUSING AS I ALWAYS DO, SET A GOAL, DO, ACHIEVE AND GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT.

Lovely People of the world, I am off to do a show at the BBC Radio Centre in Luton now, I will be live on are at 2:15pm Greenwich Mean Time, BBC3 with Nick Coffer.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
