Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Iron Bally

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

Iron Bally

Iron Bally stayed at "Chez Turbo Man" last night. It was good to see him again and, to be honest, he's not as lardy as I was expecting him to be. He's playing a bit of squash and doing "some" running, but not much, and focussing on not eating too much. He found my awful attempt at cooking too much for him to bear so took over and produced a very pleasant meal. A couple of bottles of red wine were also consumed so my planned turbo session went out the window and, funnily enough, I wasn't up to training this morning either!

Best of luck to all the competitors at Dambuster this weekend; I've not looked at the weather forecast but it's racing at Rutland Water so it's bound to be raining!
