My Howies Merino Long Johns
I got my merino long johns from Howies last winter because… I don’t know why I did to be honest. I mostly wore them to school under my trousers which were a little thin and they kept me warm and… continue reading »
British Military Fitness – best exercise ever.
BMF in the cold of Bruntwood Park tonight. Still feeling it in my legs a little, like some hangover from the double I did last Tuesday and the Fitness assessment on Saturday. I got my score back from Saturday too… continue reading »
