    Right so. It is time to undo the damage that undid all that good work a few months back! It’s cold and there’s snow everywhere but if I use the weather as an excuse I won’t get active again for months. Time to get out the underarmor and knuckle down to some hard work!

    Target is simple, a 5k run in March. Let’s running!

    Thanks specialk

    Yesterday saw the first real exercise in over two months (snowboarding doesn't count:D). Didn't bother with watch or distance or anything, just got out and got moving. It felt good. My flexibility - which was bad before - is now atrocious. I see lots of stretching on the horizon. I'm heading up to a familiar running track later to see if it's clear of snow. If not I'll pop into the gym and hop on a machine for a while. Nothing challenging until I get out a few more times and try and establish where I'm at.

    Stepped on scales last night before bed. Bit of a fright... :eek:

    Just over 5k, 30 minutes. Disastrous.

    So I ran some steps yesterday evening thinking the hip-hop dance class later would be a handy job. BIG mistake! :D the class was great craic. One tall, overweight, uncoordinated white guy in a room full Japanese ladies of all ages. Sweat was pumping out of me as I stumbled through various step routines. Damn tough session and a lot of fun. Classes run for 12 weeks. Not sure if I'll commit or not. I'm lightyears behind everyone else. Shall mull it over!
