Back on the track at Seedhill tonight for more pain. Thankfully an icy shower just passed through.
Hi 👋️
Welcome to my site! I live in Burnley, UK, with my wife Victoria, our canine children, and our hens.
On this site I write notes and longer articles about learning to code, exploring, following Burnley FC around the country, and training and racing. I snap images along the way, that appear in my dedicated snaps section. I also record all of my training, run, ride, swim, climb and weigh-in data.

Latest Note
I've added some data analysis into my training log so that it can total up and average out across months and years - only from 2024 onwards until I format and add earlier data.

A quick clip of Podenco Ibicenco bayLee swimming laps of the hydrotherapy pool at Canine Health & Hydro in Rimington bayLee has been visiting Canine Health and Hydro at Rimington for around 18 months now, ever since complications from a then undiagnosed under-active thyroid caused weight gain, muscle wastage, and back pain. He is doing really well now, with his weight where it should be, and his pain largely prevented by regular K9 laser and swim sessions here, and ongoing thyroxin medication. As you can see, his monthly swim sessions are one of the best bits of my month!
