Monkey boy is on. Both metaphorically and locality wise. I am taking myself back to go forward. Regressing to monkey movement to move myself forward. The next year I aim to build 1 stone (6kg) of muscle.

I talk about my love for a will young song, how stopping anything is easy, a simple technique for maximising inspiration absorption and why putting on weight is good.

Many imagine. Fee execute.

Are you proud of what we have created with ustwo? That’s the question I decided to pose myself last night after realising I’ve never allowed myself to appreciate what it is we have created.

I wrote this in answer

Thank you to everyone who helped me make our dream come true..

Gave my mate Fernando a chance to speak this morning. He talks about failing to complete a 3 hour Run, and what he learnt from failure and how he drove forward.
