My fitness regime is now underway under the watchful eye of a good mate of mine who has just completed a Lands End to John O'Groats bike ride in aid of the BHF. He should know a thing or two unfortunately which means early starts to go for a run or a longer cycle. Seeing as I find running hugely tedious my preference is for the bike, or car; but I know running will have a greater impact on my base fitness. I hate getting fit. I spent 28 years of my life skinny and now I am fat I have to get up early 3-4 days a week to lose it. I know it will be worth it though.
As I am in between houses at the moment my young family and I are living with my parents which means mealtimes are relatively vast and I find myself eating far more than usual - and the usual snack rubbish too. I am also about to disappear on cricket tour for a week which will mean the following week being quite tough. I refuse to join a gym though - I find them pretty dull and I would far rather be like Rocky in Rocky 1V; where he throws cart horses around and runs up the Eigar in chest waders. That's definitely more me, I think.
Word seems to be getting around a little - still waiting fro the "go" on personal money raising and I need to start thinking about a fund-raising event at my end. Anyway, I will update soon.
