CREATIVE
Ever since I was young, I’ve been drawing, making, building, and designing. Now, I use those experiences to create.

Woah! We’re Half-way there.
So today marked a pretty big milestone in my training. Centred around big runs on Sunday, I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. It was a 35 minute run – something which has been more than a little daunting for me in the past. Setting out was tough work, with my legs […]
Longest Run
I’m back! I’ve still been running my training runs as per the plan, just that I haven’t had the time to write about each of them. Today however, I reached a personal milestone. It really put my struggle in perspective. Today also marks my longest run to date. Ever. Well… I’ve been logging my runs […]
Sunday Run
The rain set in for a good part of the afternoon, but seemed to clear a little after 5:30 which I took the opportunity to sneak my run in. 20minutes non stop jogging. Vicky came as well, but only walked, as she only runs if she’s being chased! The loop around I did was my […]
Friday Evening Training Run
The first of what I suspect will be many EVENING training run. Purely and simply, it was too hot during the day AND I had an after-work function. So it was easier just to run later than I normally do. Seemed to go okay. Definitely getting easier, but still only running mid 2km in distance […]
Training Run and Weight
So, I’ve decided to track a few things on my way to the goal. One of them is the pace I’m running at, and making sure that it is manageable for the long distance run of 10km. The second is my weight, which has been increasing over winter (probably keeping me far too warm!) Today […]
Latest Training Run
My second Sunday run went well – a 15 minute session non-stop jogging where I have to be careful not to wear myself out early on! As I found out in the session’s split timings, I actually got faster over the time! Who’d know!
MINI
CLASSIC MINI LE 1980
Introducing: MAHVIN
I own a 1980 Mini LE, built in New Zealand. Over the time I’ve had it, I’ve nearly replaced every working part.
In 2018, I began the long and challenging journey of removing the A-series engine and replacing it with something more reliable. And why not go all the way and put in the best of engine conversions for the Mini – a Honda B16a VTec.
To commemorate this, I decided to name my Mini “MAHVIN”, which is also an acronym for “Mini And Honda VTEC Integrated by Novices”.
