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

Training Starts Today

A bit of an unusual first day of training for 2011. No 'proper' training to report as such in that there was no swimming, cycling or running, but there was a lot of moving about slowly including walking the dog, taking the Christmas decorations down, clearing some space in the loft including a number of athletic trips up and down (there is no proper loft ladder) so although there is nothing in the training diary I feel that I have had a good day. To be honest, the turbo is now buried under cardboard, polystyrene and plastic so there will be a few trips to the tip tomorrow to clear out the garage and uncover the turbo bike ready for the year ahead.
