29th October 2007

Another week another update. The team still stands at two with Phil deciding whether to go forward with the challenges due to the risks involved with only a couple of us carrying them out. I'm busily planning to make a few last ditch attempts to entice people onto the challenge but have decided against putting up a poster requesting volunteers at the local gym just in case I leave myself open to prosecution should anyone fall and break a leg. At least if I fall and break my leg I can't sue myself!

With regards to training it's been a fairly quiet week. I ran a 10k run for Cancer Research last weekend but have done nothing this weekend. I've been running like crazy man at the gym during the week so hopefully that's doing some good. I am concerned I look like a complete idiot
running with the treadmill set at an incline of 8 and gasping for breath the whole time I'm on there! At least I can manage more than 2 and a half minutes now though!

Other news? Well, I weighed myself this morning and came in at quite a hefty 13' 8 or 86.3kgs. I'm starting to look like the Michelin man in a few of my tighter t-shirts so it's time to look at what I'm eating and what I shouldn't be. To be honest that's fairly easy, you see, I'm a biscuit munching machine. I can't stop at one, I can't even stop at four if I'm completely honest. Biscuits to me are what cocaine is to Amy whats her house. You let me near a pack of biscuits and it's like
a blur! We've all seen the Matrix and the dodging bullets scene, if Trinity thought Neo was fast she ought to see me go at a pack of biscuits. So it's time to go on a healthy eating drive. No more chocolate, no more crisps and no more biscuits!! Well?. Until Christmas anyway then I'll be forced to take a two week break. But for now, it's fruit, cereal and sandwiches for the next month (with maybe the odd cake here and there ? I can't punish myself too much now can I!?)
