As someone with a history of chronic back pain and other niggling aches and pains I've had an interest in reading about the science of pain.  There is a lot going on in this area and the understanding that science has of pain is far different from what most people would think is going on.

I am sorry this blog has been so quiet recently.  My work is really busy and leaving little time or energy for much outside of that. I am still training, still reading and still trying to get into the hills whenever I can but when i get back from a long day at work the last thing I want to do usually is sit here and pop up a blog post. Hopefully I will post more often in the future, but things may well be quiet here for a while. A thought to leave you with for now from Coach Stevo : Dear internet, It's picking up heavy shit. Save the rocket science for NASA.   Coach Stevo .
