Lots To Do & No Time To Do It……
Life near the beach, too many distractions.!?

This last week I decided that I needed a change from the norm. So instead of doing the last hour of work I have gone home and cycled on my cycle trainer. This has defiantly started to help, going home in the light and getting some exercise. At times the cycling has been hard especially on Tuesday getting my legs to turn was quite an effort but I am pleased I persisted. Next week I’ll see if I can get a bit further than the 9.5 mile average in the 30 minutes this I doubt but we will see!

Its a new year and so far its been quite a slow start we are still in that holiday mode. This is not helped by the weather and getting up when it is still dark outside I find difficult. Inspiration is hard to come by when during the week the only time I get out side its dark and the weekends are wet. This week I tried cycling again, got soaked both ways on Monday and that put me off for the rest of the week. I don’t like cycling through deep puddles/ flooded roads in the dark not being sure where the side of the road is or where the pot holes are. My fitness has gone through the floor over the last six months so I really need some descent weather so I can drag myself back ready for a year of getting things done maybe!!

Back on the bike again this week after a break of far too long I’ll be using it every day. Thought I’d lost all of my fitness but it wasn’t too bad. Its was very refreshing this morning, listening to the birds, large lung fulls of fresh air ready for the day ahead.

My legs were ok as well which was supprising as I had dusted off the running machine after four months of no use my body didn’t know what had hit it but at the end of a half an hour run I had a great tingling feeling that I’ve missed since christmas.

All of this is in the vain attempt to not get fat and if I can loose the extra pounds that would be great.
