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

Week 1

Thoroughly enjoyed Week 1 in my new job. I'm going to be busy and will need to learn a bunch of new skills in a very short space of time, but I'm looking forward to that. I managed to get a few CrossFit sessions in although I had to do them on my own. This weekend is Jubilee weekend and I have nothing planned. I will, though, take a bike back with me and plan to get out and ride next week. Nothing definite so we shall see what happens. I managed to squeeze my fitness test in to my busy schedule today. 10.1 on the MSFT (light blue), 47 press ups (light blue, but just one off dark blue!) and 53 sit ups (dark blue). I know I can do more on the MSFT but the dark blue level is 12.1 for me and at the moment I know I cannot do 2 more levels. Yes, I am 48. I need to lose half a stone and get some running miles in my legs. Interestingly, having completed the maximal MSFT test the PTI suggested I take the sub-maximal Rockport Walk test, as this may help identify specific areas to work on. It can't harm me so I may well give this a go.

That sounds like a positive start!

Hope to get down to visit in July with any luck.

That would be good; hopefully we will be moving house at some point in July so I can get back to enjoying the weekends again without a massive commute.
