Today's "genius" idea Hassle journalists to cover story

Spent all day writing emails and doing all kinds of admin work, it is too early to see if anything has been achieved by this, possibly, probably, hopefully.

Mike has challenged me to a ten mile race in the first week of June, if I win he will donate £50 to the jungle fund. This should be the spur I need to get fit. I used to run ten miles two or three times a week, now I get out of breath walking up the hill home. Seeing as I need to be in tip top physical shape to take on the jungle I really should start training again - starting is the hardest bit but today I made a bit of a start. I measured my heart rate as I ate breakfast, generally it was around 60 BPM but I did get it down to 53 by concentrating very hard on being relaxed. After that I had a go on one of those things that build up the muscles around your lungs and so increase the amount of air that you  can get in at any one time. Got a bit dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

Seeing as the most important thing in life is a nice cup of tea I have extended the range of mugs in the shop, here is a selection.
