Sometimes An Ember Is All

I Train Five Days A Week Hard - But It Is Short And Sharp - 30 To 40 Minutes Of Functional And Pretty Dynamic Body-strength Circuits, Then I Do A Good Yoga Session On The Sixth Day, Then I Rest.

The Difference Between Ordinary And Extra-ordinary Is So Often Just Simply That Little Word - Extra. And For Me, I Had Always Grown Up With The Belief That If Someone Succeeds It Is Because They Are Brilliant Or Talented Or Just Better Than Me... And The More Of These Words I Heard The Smaller I Always Felt! But The Truth Is Often Very Different... And For Me To Learn That Ordinary Me Can Achieve Something Extra-ordinary By Giving That Little Bit Extra, When Everyone Else Gives Up, Meant The World To Me And I Really Clung To It.

I Grew Up On Survival Shows And They Were Always Just So...anoraky.

Accidents On Big Mountains Happen When People's Ambitions Cloud Their Good Judgment. Good Climbing Is About Climbing With Heart And With Instinct, Not Ambition And Pride.

The Special Forces Gave Me The Self-confidence To Do Some Extraordinary Things In My Life. Climbing Everest Then Cemented My Belief In Myself.
