Keep Calm and Run On

I spent a couple of days in hospital last year with severe dehydration, and I realised that I'm but a shadow of my old fit and healthy self. Despite suffering from asthma since young, I was a top cross-country runner throughout primary school and could run all day long.

I kept myself fit and healthy throughout my childhood and teenage years by playing football and tennis with PASSION. 

The problem is that since I got married, and particularly since we bought our new car in June 2012, I have been having no exercise at all. And even though I'm lean, it doesn't mean I'm healthy.

So I've had an awakening of late, and I'm now getting healthy again. I am reigniting my former passion of running.

Nike has some really good motivational posters in addition to these famous "Keep Calm" ones. I also bought myself a new pair of Nike sports shoes (or as we say in England, trainers).

I've been running on three consecutive mornings now, after taking Lauren to school. Feels great!

How do you keep fit and healthy?

Clothes For The Feet

Man's best friend is not a dog. It is a pair of spruce shoes.

Every good man has a pair of good shoes.

It is a self-imposed motto, but one which will ring true for all suave gents who pride themselves in looking the part.

I have always had a fetish for footwear. Of all the attire I have purchased, I have never felt so passionate about the clothing for the feet.

At this point I should refer all readers to my sister's blog, www.rachelcphotography.blogspot.com, where you will discover an array of tantalising images of her beloved high-heels. I must say that I drew complete inspiration from her posting, to propose this equally sexy, male version.

I will now showcase two of my favourite pairs of shoes, one for formal occasions, the other for more sporty endeavours.

They are even pretty racy in bed...

And here is the sports shoe collection...

Puma did make good sports shoes back in the day, and I'm extremely proud of these snazzy items!

Wherever you go, Happy Walking, and remember to treat your feet with the best footwear.
