..and we are back

Welcome back to the wonderful world of wobbly Will...

So been a few months since I have updated this, the last time was in 35 degree warmth in Cambodia. Now I am sitting in 14 degree Scotland. How the mighty have fallen :-)

A quick recap for those not paying attention. Man gets fat, gets fed up of being fat, puts down his chocolate biscuit*, decides to do something about it, decides that it can wait until after the chocolate biscuit, then reads a book, decides he is a fell runner, realizes that physics have objected to him taking that path, has another chocolate biscuit, starts running.

The inital plan was to do a 5k run then move on to half marathons. Easy.. .of course. Apart from running is boring. And I am not very good at it so far.

Then I had a new flash of inspiration brought to me by Mel C. Now it isn't the first time she has featured in my thoughts (No.2 after Baby for those who wanted to know) but she was shown doing something called a sprint triathlon.

I have always fancied doing a triathlon but quite frankly they would take me too far away from the biscuit jar and I wouldnt be home for Neighbours** so I ignored them. They are better left to super humans like Wendy, Lawrence and Simon to do.

They are around 750m swim, 20k bike and then 5k run. These Sprint ones though are shorter and more importantly mean I wouldnt have to miss match of the day training.

So that was it, my new target is a Sprint triathalon for March time.

With renew vigour I put down the biscuit and joined the gym. It hurts but it is nice.

In the last 6 weeks I have gone from thinking that 30 minutes is a good workout to being disappointed if I dont do over an hour of cardio. I have also lost about 8 kgs (which is nice). I have bought a bike, cycled 25km on it, froze to death with the brisk scottish breeze and now have a sore unercarriage(very tender)

So that is up to date. Bet you are wondering if you can invent a time machine and get those last 2 minutes back of your life spent reading this rubbish. :-)
