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

Some Good News At Last

2 bits of good news in fact. Firstly, the scales showed 12 st 2lbs this morning although I was a little dehydrated so that may account for some of the weight loss, but more importantly I actually managed to get out for an easy 25 minute run. I was also surprised that after 10 minutes I realised I was over dressed for the pleasantly mild conditions. Things are beginning to look up.

How tall are you? Just so I can work out whether it's ok to be a stone heavier than you. I even ticked box D on my fitness test form last week so my lads wouldn't know how fat I am...(in the yellow)
