same old etc

Three weeks into my latest plan and lo and behold The dreaded gout is back, just as I was making headway into a fitter existance the dreaded affliction strikes. A trip to the quack's and at least I'm getting a blood test. I just hope that the exercise isn't the trigger that starts the pain. This week has been truly annoying with a awful cough, the gout and a case of the trots. On the plus side Mandy is back in the swing of things and I've been told I'm wasting away-bit of an exaggeration.

dawning of an old era

Things are always fluid and sometimes you know when it's right to change. Tonight I have decided to revert to solo training. I shall miss the club but I feel the time is right to go back to my old ways. Respect to all the members and I hope it goes well for them.

week two

Nearly half a stone lighter and now upto six miles ran, things are beginning to feel slightly better and my mood is on the rise. Six days a week exercise feels good at the moment, not missing the chocolate or the beer. I keep telling people it's all in the mind both running and dieting.

we're getting there

The corners been turned.The diet's going well nearly six pound off in under two weeks and the exercise is going nicely.I have sixteen weeks until Stratford marathon.On a different note Mandy is seven weeks away from her Silverstone half, which she is being sponsored. The charity is Cancer related and the anount is coning along nicely.

new year new start

2011 opened with a wimper, finally got my running shoes on with a view to a steady three miler. 1 mile into it and I'm walking. My legs are shot and I look like pregnant. Diet started, no beer, no sweets and no junk food. I think I will have to work extremely hard over the next month to get anywhere near my old level. I cannot believe I have been so stupid. I am due to run a marathon in May and I am already fretting about it. Still not sure which way I want to go in respect of training.
On a different tack, the website is now defunct. Wishing everyone a happy new year.Got some new gear for xmas.
