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

A Great Day of Training

... following the "Night Before"! We were invited out to dinner last night and had a great night and ate and drank far too much. Nevermind, my penance was this morning. I had arranged to meet Sags at 0800 but was out just after 0730 and got in a few kms before meetings Sags. We then rode for an hour or so before Sags headed off to join the St Ives Cycling Club ride and I headed home having managed a 1 hr 35 min ride. But no, not for the previously suggested hot shower and bacon butties, but for a swift coffee, change and then out for a run with my faithful running partner, Bandit. In truth, we had to go and collect the car we had left at our friend's house last night, but it was a good excuse for a 40 minute run.

Aren't phones with cameras great!

Anyway, and more importantly, today's endeavours took me to a little over 7 hours of training for the week. This was week 1 of my 2009 training plan so I'm quite happy with that. I will aim for a little more in week 2 and progress from there.

Train smart folks.
