Some Things About Me.

I expect you’re all wondering what Jake gets up too in his spare time – well probably not but I’m going to tell you anyway.

As mentioned yesterday I do some long distance walks although they usually start in a few weeks time. When I say long distance I mean something between 15 to 25 miles when its just a single day walk but I also do some multi days when at times I reach 200 miles in a single walk, my longest ever being 270 miles. These walks are all done as self supporting so what I carry is what I have to live with for however long it takes.

I also do some bike riding but I’m not as serious about that as I the walking.

Other times I either help dad if he needs a hand with the digger or maybe getting one of the old tractors ready for a show then there are other times when I do some tractor driving for a contractor near here, that’s usually in spring or harvest time when they have more work than they have people to do it. I’m not sure how any of this will fit in with other things that will hopefully be happening this year, maybe something will have to stop.

As most of you will know its valentines day tomorrow, I would dearly love to do something special for my lady but I don’t see how that is possible. I thought of sending her a card anonymously but that’s not on either as I can’t afford to risk the wrong person seeing it and getting forewarned about anything so I think its best to leave be this year and dream of what will be next year.

Also with regard to Lady Alex, I’ve had a few mails and stuff requesting a picture of her which is quite understandable, I would love one myself actually. I was going to sneak one with my phone but then since my lust has turned to love I feel I should show her more respect, it feels like stealing and the only thing I ever want to be accused of stealing from my dear lady is her heart so for that reason I would like you to be like me and show some patience – I know, its hard isn’t it. Also I must warn you that her beauty is like a fresh snow scene, there is not a camera made capable of capturing the complete and utter beauty of it so I’m just saying not to expect some super model because my lady’s beauty lies where no camera can focus.

Jake I am interested in distance walking. I have been running almost 20 years, and the most I ever walked at once was 20 miles, a little over 5 hours, I was so sore that night I couldn't get up the stairs except limping up them backwards. I run about 28 miles a week these days.
