Welcome to my world
I live in London with my two crazy cats, Phil and Grant. This is my online training journal as I will be running the British London 10km in July, and I hope you enjoy your visit!

First time at the gym in ages …
Posted on March 24th, 2009 No comments… and boy does it feel like it now.
I have a job where I don’t have to go to the office every day, as I can work from home (so if I’m on all day conference calls then it makes sense to stay at home and do them, like most of last week). So today was the first chance I’ve had to hit the gym in about two weeks, and I made the minor mistake of going down with a new training partner - much younger than me, much fitter than me, and he’s certainly put me through the ringer a bit.
Plenty of work today on my arms (probably more than I’d do normally), and I’m definitely going to know about it in the morning. Couple that with a light treadmill session, some rowing, plenty of sit-ups and it’s been an interesting time.
The weird thing about going to the gym after work is the way the gym manager seems to wake up at 5pm. Go down during the afternoon and it’s all you can do to get him to even acknowledge your presence. Tonight apparently I was “his friend”, and he was all jokey and smiles. Very strange when you’ve not seen that side of someone for a year.
But enough rambling … My regular gym buddy (and running mate in the 10km in July) is back in the office tomorrow for five days, so at least I’ve got someone to go down with still - going to the gym by yourself is difficult day-in, day-out.
At some point, I’m going to go on the scales, and pluck up the courage to post my weight on here. It’s not a nice number to post here unfortunately! But with a bit of luck it’ll come down again in the next few months.
