Smashed it (as some of the judges on the X Factor might have said!) in training today. Spent a full 45 minutes on the cross trainer varying the speed and the resistance. Shed a whopping 715 calories in the meantime and felt absolutely great after it. There’s a lot to be said for the great [...]

Back in the gym today after my day off yesterday and I decided to up the resistance on the bike, so I still did 20 minutes but at a higher resistance. Good god, I thought my heart was about to explode. That can not be at all good. Or, perhaps it’s quite the opposite, that [...]

Woop Woop – I’m back in the game! After 4 days off with a killer cold, I headed back to the gym today. I have to say, it felt great just to do a bit of exercise again. I was planning on upping the time by 5 minutes each on the bike and cross trainer, [...]

The long and winding road (do do) to your….start line. Sorry, I’m not sure what i was trying for there. My unofficial physio came over to the apartments. I say unofficial, because I haven’t told her that I’m planning on running the marathon and that she has to treat me for free every time I [...]

Another day, another trip to the gym. I wonder if I would have gone to the gym half as much in the last 3 weeks if there wasn’t one in the apartment complex where I live? I suspect not!! I was really tight for time today as we were going to visit friends in Rathvilly [...]
