To quote Eminem: “Guess who’s back, back again, Blog is back, tell a friend”

That’s rights after a load of time dicking around and drinking premium lagers, ales and more wine than Lord Rothschild himself could quaff in an afternoon with the taps open full (not sure this means anything but sounded great in my head) and lining my stomach with low grade processed carbohydrates in between for some light relief, I have decided it’s time to get this sh*t sorted.

Note the excessive extra Q4 chin…

I say I have decided and yes I did make the decision…but I also kind of had too make this decision. Somehow I got confident…probably when I’d had a couple of glasses of spicy Shiraz and decided to sign myself up along with a couple of pals to Ride London (that’s 100 miles around London up and down some massive hills if you weren’t aware)…oh and the really tough luck no getting out of it clause…I’m signed up to do it for one of my wonderful clients Cancer Research who have kindly managed to sort us a couple of places.

Now I know what you’re thinking…that’s fine you’ll have a couple of other blokes who are massively unfit and out of shape to help train with…wrong…I’m practically doing it with the Media worlds version of Cavendish (Otherwise know as Chris), Wiggo (otherwise know as George) and Mo Farah (otherwise know as Danny!)! Two keen cyclists (one of them talks too much about lycra to me and it’s slightly uncomfortable and boring) and a bloke who did the marathon last year (and seemingly still manages to enjoy a few ales in between)! Nice team choice Bison! So to say I’ve got some competition is an understatement to say the least! I have never been more the fluffer than in this situation and am clearly in the team to raise some serious wonga based on the fact nobody will believe that I’m actually doing it!

So in between badgering people to dig deep and sponsor me I’ll be peppering my themediabison blog with tales of how I try to survive in my media world by maintaining a non boring status but still throwing plenty of training in and using my totally proven theory of #eatlikeaking

I’ll also be throwing in some training tips I’ve been offered from a variety of pals for the beginner cyclists amongst you…as I haven’t been on my bike since my mate Elliot kindly donated the bike to me about 7 years ago to encourage me to exercise more and lose some timber…that went well didn’t it?! This is going to be interesting to say the least!

So…out for a sushi lunch today…and maybe a couple of Kirins before the real training kicks in next week! If you see me around please do spur me along with kind words! Much love!
