Hey, hey folks. Welcome to Bam's blog. Tiddles Maloney here and as I'm sure you well know, I'm a cub reporter on The Sporting Universe - the top selling sports magazine in the universe.
Wow, what a scoop yesterday. First day on the job and I drop in a front page head turner. I've been thinking of headlines and straps: GOTCHA! Bam the bamboozler busted for pulling a fast one.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. This morning, Bam did his usual 8 mile recovery run. Not a drop of rain. But the cornucopia of clouds covering the sky would have had Bret the alligator Jardine heading indoors for his comforter: the treadmill:)
I've settled in to Bam's house and I have to say, I've been made to feel like one of the family. The nosh is good and healthy and plentiful. The kids are entertaining. And of course, with the Olympics on the television, every second's a joy.
I've been busy working out how to bring all the news and gossip from Bam's life to you and I've a few gems lined up...
Last night, I spent time chatting with Bam and his family about his training and his goals. I had to be careful, as I nearly revealed my true identity. Must shoot, something's cropped up. This is Tiddles Maloney, for now, saying toodlepip from Bam's yard.
...Back again. Wow, that Bam can sleep. Takes an afternoon nap. This evening he ran 3 miles out to a boreen on the Slieve Mish Mountains and banged out 8x8 sec's hill sprints off a 2 min walk rec. Then he ran the three miles home.
Great setting for a nice session. The boreen's canopied by trees and ferns adorn the banks of the hillside road. The scent of wet foilage intoxicated and the pitter-patter of Bam's feet was the only sound. I'll tell you this, it reminds me of a place dear to my heart, a place I miss dearly.
Great stuff. |
