Bad Blogger - but happy!

OK, I know - blogs are meant to be regular and constantly changing and in this, over the past, week, I have singularly failed.

However, I have managed to get out on my bike. Granted, one two mile ride is really earth shattering, but it was all I could fit in, and I am well aware that 100 miles is looking further and further away.

BUT I have had a major breakthrough.

We had friends, Gary and Mirella, over for supper on Saturday and in passing I mentioned that I needed to go out and get an exercise bike but that husband was being a misog about the expense.

And bingo! they have one that they're not using.
Delivery expected this weekend.

I don't believe it has a mileometer on it - world's most basic model - but hey, at least I can prove that I will get off my butt and onto the bike to practise. Which may make my husband more tolerant of the proposed expenditure.

I have even dug out some old pedometers that the kids were given in MacDonalds a while back in one of their "we are healthy - really!" campaigns. (In fairness, they have upped their game immensely, so whilst burgers and chips isn't my idea of a healthy meal for the kids, at least I don't feel quite as suspicious about what's in the burgers any more)

I digress. Training is about to start in earnest. See if this time tomorrow I haven't created my training plan....
