Drop sprog #2
Join OH in AD Save like buggery (via OH!) Finish degree Go for sprog #3 Get to Oz Do teacher training Get MEd Be secure enough financially so OH can retire at 55 try to fit in having a life somewhere - though that shouldn't be hard - more like trying to remember there's a sensible life plan amongst the booze and fags and trips to waterworld. Edit: cos it's not just about me |

Qualify and race at the world champs in Hawaii Podium for GB at the Euro Champs next June in Austria Workwise, continue to enjoy and develop with my current company. Move eventually to either Houston or back to UK We just sold our house in scotland so looking to invest somewhere. To find a cure for MS. That's about it really, nothing much of any interest. Go a whole day without stressing about people's driving Check out http://www.terrywahls.com/ She also has a brilliant TED talk |

Check out http://www.terrywahls.com/ She also has a brilliant TED talk That is my driving force with my Ironman Journey. I have raised a lot of money for the Hyperbaric chamber at the MS Therapy center in Dundee and continue to bike for my Company in MS races in America. She is an utter inspiration the way she deals with this horrible illness and anytime I come in from a hard session and complain that my legs are stiff or i'm feeling tired, I get a stark reminder of what pain and continual suffering really is. Those who don't have exposure to this simply wont grasp the TRUE grind that living with MS causes the sufferer and the family. Anyway, I was sidetracked somewhat:D |

kidding. That is a pretty good time Really looking forward to it, although my wife is a bit worried after she keeps reading (usually in the Daily Snail) about people keeling over and dying during marathons! I don't plan to do that.. |
Re: What are your targets?
My sporting ambition would be to complete the Paris Dakar Rally on a bike on the old African route over the Sahara (not the south american one).
I bottled doing it with a mate 6 or 7 years ago and now regret not having went. He didn't finish in the end but I reckon if I had gone we would have supported each other well to get a finish. |

Re: What are your targets?
MS is truly horrible. My ex's mother had it for years, and, well you know how it goes. Vile disease.
There was some research done about using a neck brace to straighten out a nerve in the c spine, i think, that was showing some positive results. |
Re: What are your targets?

Re: What are your targets?
Short term goal is to get a job, my contract ended recently and the next one is taking forever to sort out. So in the meantime I might go and find a beach hut somewhere.
Longer term goal, is to finish THE BOOK. Start my masters Get back in to construction management as I reeeeeally miss it. Progress to Project Director level for starters. Find some way of making my retirement a bit more secure, whether that be property or something else. *Edited to add - I also need to lose a shedload of weight. |
Re: What are your targets?
Short term - Get through today
Medium Term - Brunch tomorrow Long Term - try and get up and into work Saturday morning. |
