Thought for the day..... |
If manners cost nothing, why are so many people so frickin tight with being polite? |
|
A word to make you chuckle..... |
PLOP !!! |
|
James Martin.......WHAT A KNOB! |
Enough said....... |
|
Hhhmmmmmmmm?? |
Are there such things as waterproof running leggings/tights?
I guess not as the water would simply run down them into your trainers..... |
|
Thought for the day........ |
Why do people ask for help with their training only to forget to the training?
A waste of my time and theirs..... |
|
LIVESTRONG |

Thought for the day........ |
My Grandad once said.......
"It's better to be pissed off........than pissed on!!! |
|
And here comes #2...... |
Good old Geoff has also come on board as training partner number 2!!!!
We went out for a run this morning and immediately stumbled into a nice comfortable pace so looking good for the months to come!!! |
|
Training partner #1 found |
JJ has just agreed to step up to the plate as training partner numero uno!!!
Good lad!! |
|
Thought for the day..... |
Marmite.........yummy!!! |
|
New training partners |
Been looking at options for training and so far have come up with a couple. Nick & Geoff who I trained with a bit earlier in the year both seem to be crocked with niggles so my current thinking is to see how Andy (Middlebrook) is post his gall bladder op, plus getting dad out on his bike to work with me. The plus side of the latter option is that we can spend some time together plus the riding will do him good.
Char has offered to cycle alongside me now and again so that helps out too  but she is going to be busy with her training contract at Slee Blackwells. |
|
Why I'm doing it...... |
Don't know......I guess I need something to focus on over the winter apart from trying to improve my swim and bike ....... and run!
I know that being 6ft 5" and 20st+ a marathon doesn't really suit my build, but that's part of it.
So many people have said I'll never finish.....
Lets wait and see shall we......
WEIGHT: 20ST 7LBS
BMI: 34.1 |

Who's helping me...... |
Well so far TEAM BEEF consists of Charlotte (significant other half) Andy Middlebrook (Physiologist and training partner) and Ocean Physio (to keep me in one piece) |
