Jevon's Blog: Malaise
http://jevononeill.blogspot.com/2012/01/malaise.html
Never, ever quit. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Over time, I've come to know my weaknesses. In life, rather like sporting events, I'm not a fast starter. Hence a return from a prolonged period of holiday or rest results in an uncomfortable feeling of confusion at resentment at having, once again, to start work. It's an artwork I bought recently. Postcard sized by an artist named Alexandra McLain. I keep it on my desk. I like it and wanted to share it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.

Jevon's Blog: November 2010

Never, ever quit. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. But I'm good at those. What else have I been up to? I've enjoyed a day at Twickenham watching a rejuvenated England lose against New Zealand's All Blacks (see pic right. great seats for once at Twickers! We had a reunion of the Manchester University Rugby Football Club and it was terrific to see many faces from nearly 30 years ago. I'll be returning to Twickenham again in a couple of weeks to see England versus South Africa. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Never, ever quit. Friday, October 22, 2010. That's not me, by the way. It's just supposed to represent the millions of back exercises I've been doing lately. Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive over the past few weeks. I was at a screening of the great Tour de France movie, 'Chasing Legends', last night and bumped into a few of my Team MK colleagues who expressed their surprise and delight at seeing me on my feet and mobile. So I thought I'd update you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ironman Sw...

Jevon's Blog: May 2011

Never, ever quit. Friday, May 27, 2011. I suspect the trick of blogging may be - from this point on - to keep it brief. Halleluja, I hear you mutter. Well, not so brief as to let you go after just three sentences. You'll be familiar with my annus horribilis. A chronic achilles injury that prevented me running for over a year. Back surgery on a slipped/herniated disc and further surgery just over a month ago. So, all in all, for most folk, a fairly debilitating time. The surgery I went through in April wa...

Jevon's Blog: June 2011

Never, ever quit. Monday, June 06, 2011. Mental, Mental, chicken oriental. I've been trying to train slow. Specifically; to run slow. And it's not easy. My best ever IM marathon is 3:57 and it was achieved by rigorous discipline. Started slow and kept the pace under wraps until the final 10k where I wound it up just a little. So staying on top of my pace in the run is something I'll be turning my mind to for the next five weeks. Good luck to all my friends doing their training runs at 7 minute miles.

Never, ever quit. Monday, July 18, 2011. So the plan was to get to the start line and I managed that just fine. How would the race go? Well, let's backtrack a bit. Aleck (my buddy from Team MK) and myself shared driving duties on the wednesday on a journey which took us under the channel, across Europe and down to Nuremberg in Germany. We met our other Team MK mates and supporters and were soon on the lash in a Bier Keller, drinking litres of strong lager. My first lap was done at just over 22mph average...

Never, ever quit. Friday, December 10, 2010. For the first time since starting this blog I feel prompted to write on something non sporting. You may find it slightly controversial. If so, please know that I don't court controversy, nor do I want to engage in a argument with you. These are my opinions and I'm fed up of keeping them to myself. For Chrissakes. what the hell is going on here. Are we really saying that, by the standards of past generations, so many of our children are equipped to attend a uni...

Never, ever quit. Monday, January 23, 2012. Jeez, I hate that saying. But it kind of sums up my attitude towards training at the moment. I've begun to cycle again, having let my weight get up to 97 kgs at the beginning of the year. My left achilles has been giving me problems so I've - once again - had to curtail my running. I seem fated not to run again but I'm sure I will, one day. Above is one I'd like to share with you. it's called 'White Lines Dancing in Printing Ink'. Delivered To Your Inbox! Ironm...

Never, ever quit. Tuesday, November 01, 2011. There are several things I want to do before xmas. 1 Teach my daughters to play chess. 2 Complete another screenplay. 3 Begin to run again without injury. 4 Hang my recently purchased artworks at home. 5 Go to the movies (at least once) with my wife. 6 Take on a new client at work. 7 Spend less time on the internet. 8 Visit my brother in Amsterdam. 9 Re-commence swimming sessions. 10 Drink a little less booze. 11 Eat a little less dairy. 14 Get an eye test.
