Day 117 - Friday 27th April - The weekend!

1 hour cycle (gym) - Cross Training

Is it me today or is anyone else getting bored of my fitness update? 1 hour cycle and cross train at the gym. Who cares? Post marathon blues continue a little and not only has it been a struggle to continue the blog - as i don't have an end product anymore, but i also feel everyone else has given up on it too.

Are you still out there Readers? Shall i continue? What direction do i take? Shal i just stop and eat Haagen Daazs? Err, no, that's not an option, well it is and yes i have been scoffing quite a bit this week, result? Can't get my bastard waistcoat on for work now.

I've been forced to go down the strides and v-neck jumper with shirt and tie underneath route for work. Like a sort of poor mans Pep Guardiola. In fact i was told i looked like a former non league footballer this week. Which in fairness was one of the milder insults I've had. Though I'm still not sure if it was aimed as a compliment. If it was. It's an insult. Fact.

So what I'm saying is that i feel i need a goal. Something to work towards again and will help with a narrative to write the blog every day. I need to think on.

My day was pretty dull so I'm not going to go on. Biggest news of the day is the excel spreadsheet of business card details of 120 people is complete. We will all sleep easy now, i knew you were all wondering how it was going.

Slammed into the gym after work did a reasonably tough session. Went to a rocking good Friday night meeting in Richmond. My home group for those in the know. Tea with the troops after and off home to aimlessly piss around on the computer for several hours avoiding writing the blog until 2am. So pleased I'm focused and driven.

In the news today? Claire Squires Justgiving page reaches £1million following her sad death at the marathon. Incredible story. Clearly sad and tragic and a truly modern phenomenon as the story and donations has really been driven through social media. Facebook, Twitter and Justgiving. It's clearly touched people greatly and i guess donating £20 makes people feel connected or like they are doing something.

She did £500 going into the marathon, which is a bit poor really. But just like Whitney, Michael, Diana, Elvis. Worth considerably more in death than life. That is the real tragedy. But what isn't a tragedy is her life will always mean something and through the charity donations forever make a difference to people's lives. It is The reason most people do fund raising for the marathon for anyway. So in a terrible way it is following the theme and reason of the day. Too soon to see it like that but i would assume a comfort of sorts for the family. Awful story but it says alot about modern society how it has taken off and grown. Interesting.

Other news today? Armed Police were called and Tottenham Court Road was sealed off this afternoon and 2000 office workers evacuated because a guy went mental in an office and threw a load of furniture out of the window and threatened to blow himself up claiming he had explosives strapped to him.

We've all been there when the Printer doesn't work. And that fax machine's on the blink. And those fucking letterheads are wrong. Nightmare. Turns out his beef was with the company he worked for. His email address on the business card spreadsheet was wrong. Fucking American word spellcheck

Nightmare!
