Thinking about Rupert

My mate Rupert died around new year  eight or nine years ago. We met him and his mrs at antenatal classes for Eloise , so  just over 16 years ago. We got on pretty well . Rupert and I used to go boozing and Helen and Sandrine. Are still pretty close. They were both journalists . Rupert ( Hamer) was a war  journo  with the Sunday mirror . Lots of travel around Iraq and Afghanistan .  Some of it sounded fucking scary . One of the last times I saw him he was moaning how the MoD had reneged on a promise to let him fly to Kabul . He ended up going a few week later, dec 31   2009 as I remember . A few days later blown to bits  by the taliban ( cunts ) . His  photographer , a bloke called Phil lost both legs .  Rupert was lovely , he used to come for beers after work with me and my work buddies , back when we had a real team atmos.

Boxing day

run - ok, but foot on and off painful . Thanks to the cunt

Gotta say

  Not really having a great Xmas

Gym , about yesterday

I’ve been squatting 4x 10 x 65kg, and dead lifting my body wieght but lower reps . As a result by legs sometimes feel like they have another gear for running. Still going slow mind. I was in there yesterday with a posse of proper athletes . One of them ran the 4x400 final in the 2012 . I try not to be intimated by these young fellas and in return one of them corrected my kettlebell form

Happy fucking Xmas

Run ok. Blythe packed, really packed. Lots of str@ngers but also community well represented

Gym

Olympians in . And Baz....long time

Gym

Ok.

Idiot brings young child and gets stroppy about it when I point out that gyms are dangerous places and not a crèche

Offer

Re end of job , doesn’t feel like enough. Or fair , just feel like I’ve been muscled out.

Run

More gym

90k deadlift reps . Still not sure I’m doing it right

Some gym

had a run in with the neighbours earlier . Was absolutely paranoid that staff member from next door could complain to work . I was really cross . So much so that I even sent them all a Christmas card

Run

Good for a change

Gym

afterwards

Peter the pastors funeral
