Part 1
2013 Reconcile - What a Year!!!!!
Here is a list of some amazing events and
my achievements.
Waaaaaaaaaaay back in January I passed my
driving theory test. It was blood freezing that day in Glasgow lol.
Then I trained as a linebacker for the
Dundee Hurricanes, which was brilliant!!! Then I got a chance at starting as
the linebacker and I started and finished every game.
Also met my wondering girlfriend Jen in
March, she's awesome!!!!
Then in June I passed my practical driving
test :)
Then my brother’s stag do. Where I made new
friends and made some great memories and lost a few too lol. Also made a fair
exchange for my wallet and watch for some beads, don't ask lol!!!
Then in July got my 1st car around my
birthday, which is awesome. J
Also in July my bro got married.
AUGUST & SEPTEMBER, two months which I
believe changed my whole outlook on what fitness and training can do for you.
It started in a game for Hurricanes where I was asked to play running back. I
wasn't sure what I could do as I hadn't even looked at the offence's play book
let alone trained with the offence. However once I was on the field it was such
an amazing feeling to play running back again. I hadn't played it since 2009.
Playing against Edinburgh was a great day, blocking the backing and this
allowed Adam to run for a big gain. And the comments I got from my dad and
brothers after the game, an awesome day.
Other favourite moment of the year for me was
playing against Glasgow both ways. Linebacker and Running Back, never achieved
that in my time playing until now. And Bruce at Quarter back and me as Running
back, just like the good old days lol. Rushing for 83 yards and playing
defence, an epic day. This was also the day I realise my body could take a lot
more punishment and I decide to start playing rugby again.
I think it was the end of August or
beginning of September I started playing rugby for Uddingston RFC. And at the
end of September I think I scored my first try for Uddingston/Cambuslang 2s.
Another great feeling, but this was down to finding a great team and great
bunch of guys :).
See there is a trend building here for 2013
here, fitness and sports lol.
But the year was building to this moment in October. I was award the most improved player 2013 for the Dundee Hurricanes. I was very proud of myself for achieving that award and it continues to give me the motivation to carry on with my training at home, with the rugby team and American football team.
And in December 2013 I was put forward for
promotion. This would be from test analyst to senior test analyst. And I have been
informed recently that I got the promotion.
So as I close the door on 2013, how would I
describe it? Life changing, no other year has changed my life in such a way as
this one has. I met amazing people, I worked my ass off. I made an ass of
myself (Stag do lol). But all in all I changed my life for the better.
And it's like a drug, hooked on wanting to
achieve more and more.
I achieved so much, GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!
Now on too 2014, what else do I want to
achieve. I already have my eyes on a few things so no slowing down now!!!!!
