Point A

Christmas Day, pre-lunch: 85kg

Target for Christmas 2009: 75Kg

Shortest Day of the Year

Dec 21st - Winter Solstice - If I can get out today I can get out any day!

Ride to Richmond Park with lights on but still can't breath properly so planned 4 laps becomes 1 lap and back via a cafe.  Still, at least it keeps the momentum up.

Bike: 17.5m

Drop the watch

Lovely sunny lunchtime run – first one back after a stinking cold. Had set out to go longer but still feeling congested so shortened the loop to 4 miles.

Definitely need to build some base fitness so have decided to stop all timing until end-Jan at the earliest – just concentrate on longer distances and general “feel”

Run: 4 miles

A bad start

Now over a week since my bright idea for getting fit and I've run once. A stinking cold has left me unable to breath properly. Have decided to consider this period as "tapering"
