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

Getting Back in the Game ...

Yesterday I managed to complete one of the sessions I was doing regularly last year, the 30-minute gym bike test completed at Level 12 on the Hills programme. Last year I peaked at 21.75km in the 30 minutes, yesterday it was 16.5km, so some way to go to match my peak, but the fact that I was able to complete it was good enough for me. This will now be my benchmark test on my journey back to fitness.
