Action 100 Cycle Ride

Having worked on the PR side alongside the volunteers who annually make the Action 100 charity cycle ride happen, Claire Thompson (otherwise known as Mrs Page) has committed to getting fit enough to ride in 2006 - its Silver Jubilee year. That's 100 miles from Bath to Chobham and it's going to hurt - lots! "This is my leap of faith and a public declaration that I'm doing the ride - without it, it would be way too easy to chicken out."

Action 100: getting ready-er

Went along to get weighed yesterday night - had to take the kiddies with me as babysitting arrangements failed - which they LOVED. (Trudging along to an exercise class with their PJs on - an entire empty hall to 'skid' across.) Why metion it here? The morte I lose, the less I have to lug around on the back of a bike.

My new diet regime to accompany the exercise has resulted in losing 5.5 pounds this week - which, of course is the weight of a small baby, as a friend pointed out.

And as the Action Medical Research current campaign is 'Touching Tiny Lives' it's a very poignant thought that this might actually be the weight of two or three premature babies.

I end on that thought....
