The Ass family picture

200 miles and counting!!

Good news I have made my 200 mile target ten days ahead of my original schedule that I work out when I started my fitness programme - the objective was to get here before our family holiday.

I have some other targets worked out, but will wait until after the hols to rework them - I need to know how many miles I have done to ensure they make sense. The other good news is that looking at the Polar data from my rides, I am doing much more Level 2 and much less Level 3 fo similar rides to a few weeks ago - there is also a lot less red! So I guess I am getting fitter.

That Hurt!!

Today I went out for a short, hard ride on the hills - most of the time I was in Level 4 land - I had forgotten how much this sport hurts and feels good at the same time!

One point of note, today was the first time since I started getting serious that I have managed to break the 30 mph speed limit in Church Hill and I was not even trying!!!!!!!

Did I really need to know this??

Restarting exercise, weight and physique...

Why is it that when you restart to exercise in a serious way, that you gain weight (muscle - my fat % has dropped) and has parts of you tone up, the fat just starts to hang off in such a gross way? I have to say that my gut looks soooo much worse than it did a month ago - but hell I feel so much better!

I am sure it will be worth it in the end........
