A long long time ago

I was born 50 years ago so today is my birthday. Had a great 50th over the weekend with family and close with attendees from around New Zealand and a secret visitor from Berlin. Hugely impressed by the Games of Thrones styled cake below.

Since my 40th birthday I have:

  • Run two marathons and four half marathons (No 5 is in November)
  • Trekked 17 days to Everest Base Camp and summited Mt Kilimanjaro
  • Done seven of the nine Great Walks
  • Have travelled to 52 countries in all seven continents
  • Become a father

So has been a great 10 years and am looking forward to the next decade.
