NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Father's Day means ...

CHOCOLATE! And chocolate means Toblerone, my absolute favourite. And having 2 kids meant I received 2 HUGE bars plus a Homer Simpson mug that reads: "Trying is the first step to failure". Not sure about that!

I did earn it though. This morning my running partner (Bandit) and I ran to the Meadow, did 1 lap of the Meadow and then headed over the road for a lap of Hinchinbrooke Park before running back alongside the river. 16.5km by my reckoning in 1 hour 25 minutes - that's good for me in case you were wondering.
Looking forward to some decent bike mileage this week.

I got a triangle choc thing too! But it was fruit and nut so that means it is healthy!
