Well, having bought myself a new mountain bike just before I went to 'reefie I've finally got the hang of it. After a few wobblesome starts and looking as balanced as an elephant in stillettos I have done two long rides this week - 45 minutes earlier in the week and 70 minutes today. My botty feels like I've been sitting on a razor blade but I'm thoroughly enjoying myself

Completed the Hook 10 miles yesterady in 1:22 which was OK, think i went out a bit fast and knackered myself for the last couple of miles, it was bloody hot when you were out of the shade. So today i'm walking like John Wayne, after suffering some gentlemans chaffage...........

sorry for not contributing to this for a while, i've been gettin my shit together

Am just starting to get back into my running again after about a 6 week lay off and predictably i've hurt my knee again.

My weight has stayed off though so i just need to stick at it but resist the temptation to do to much to soon

Back to the gym today... 15mins on Cross-trainer, followed by 5km in under 29mins on the treadmill.

Weight down to 85.5kg, and 18.3% body fat... and my colleague said I'm not my usual shade of crimson on my return to the office... its getting better

Four hours on my bike last week and over and hour on it last night. My ar$e is still killing me but I'm having loads of fun. I don't realise how much effort it takes til I stop and try to put my wobbly legs down!

Well I've done the same as last year, entered a race, slacked off, two weeks before race number arrives, I go into blind training panic. Off for a run tonight. Fortunately it's only a 5km (around beautiful Swansea Bay) but I'm competitive with myself so will be insisting on a personal best!

I do the same every year. I find the races act as an motivation. Mind you, I then go mental and enter too many races (about 1 per week right now) and the racing becomes the training (mostly).

sounds very familiar, I use races as motivation, if I don't have them entered then I do several weeks of eating out and drinking as a well done! Fortunately it's hard to get a race a week around here so I get a 2-3 week gap depending (plus I need to fit it around diving too!).

have you tried runnersworld.co.uk?

We also have scottish athletics up here, I suppose youmust have something similar. There are always a lot of badly publised races going on.
