How much?

No training due to work, weather, broken gym equipment and too much cake. Was contacted by manufacturers of exercise bike who will come and fix it, or rather look at it and decide if they can fix it for the cost of what my mountain bike cost. Once I pay that up front they will send a suitably qualified person to come and decide how much more I have to pay.

Major malfunction

In door training today due to gale force winds, major malfunction on Life Fitness Cycle, after 9 years of abuse it died. Need to rethink training programme.

New personal best

Christmas Eve. Skived and ate cake.

Christmas day would have been a no training day as well but ended up running shuffling around the Bonsai Mountain (above) in the dark looking for a dog.

Boxing Day. Back on form, new personal best 50km lvl 16 cycle cross in 82mins 22 seconds. And I could still walk. Drank 1ltr of Vimto squash. Sore left knee. Max bpm 149.

Massive gains

Huge core workout involving shovel, fork, excrement and flood water. Mix in with fence posts, goats and wood chopping. Right arm feels like dropping off.
