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

No training today because...

...it's moving day. Yes the movers are in and I am in a completely disorganised mess. Mrs Turbo Man took 2 of our children and the dog off to the new house this morning leaving me to sort out the removals. After an hour or so I had to get them to re-open a couple of boxes to retrieve the house folder with all the important documents for this house that I had carefully left out in the living room. I then had to go and get 2 new keys cut after realising I had left them in a drawer that had been packed and didn't have the courage to get them to re-open half a dozen boxes looking for a couple of keys. I don't have a toothbrush tonight because ... yep .. I wasn't quick enough to rescue it before it was packed. To be fair, the removals team have worked really hard today and achieved more than they thought they would. We should be out of here about lunchtime tomorrow and then the joy of unpacking begins Wednesday morning. Don't worry, PoD and my Litespeed have been safely transported already.

I reckon training will resume at some point over the Easter weekend, if only to recover my sanity! Wish me well.
