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 Good Day

When the weather closes in you have to be imaginative in getting your exercise in. Today I did:

30 min walk with the dog in 6 inches of soft snow. Harder work than you might think.
30 mins on the turbo. 10 mins @ 190w, 10 @ 230w, 10 @ 190w
40 min walk to work
45 mins on the gym bike
40 min walk home
20 min walk with the dog although avoided the deep soft snow this time.

All that fresh air has made me very weary but I feel good.

And I got an e-mail from Parkers saying my frame protectors are on the way - yippee!

That's pretty good. I note you didn't say how many minutes you spent at work!
