Feeling stronger....

Rode for 2 hours over the hills today, noticed that my fitness level is starting to improve, still find the hill tough...For mid-june it is still cold.

BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I have lost over 10% of my body weight! Started at a "shameful" 17st 11lb 9 weeks ago.....Today 15st 13lb!!!!!! Still a long way to go until my target weight of 13st 7lb but heading in the right direction....

Ran with "bob the dog" this morning. Bob is our 1 year old Jack Russell, who loves chasing rabbitts, birds and anything that moves (except people) Ran 6.5 miles in 1 hour 2 mins. The route was very difficult due to the length of grass and nettles, will give this route a miss until later in the year when the weeds have died down.........

Flower Hill "here I come".......

Rode the Flower Hill circuit today, enjoyed the ride and starting to enjoy the bike again.. However "Flower Hill" is still a difficult climb, hopefully as I lose more weight it will get easier.... Ride time 02:01:15 will try to beat this time next week!

Cycled to Billabong & Swam...

Rode to Billabong for an open water swim 32 miles, water temp was good. Swam 2 laps 1800mtrs stopped swimming was very very bored.... Enjoyed the bike, starting to feel a little stronger will try a Long Bike tomorrow. BBQ today!!!!

Raywell Run, 6 miles.......

Rest day!!!!!

Today is a well earned rest day: Started to train and diet on the 11th of April 2010, my weight had "balloned" to 17st 11lb. Time for action, training started and "oh my god" was it hard....my first swim was 200mtrs and I was totally knackered! 8 weeks later I weigh 16st 3lb (weight loss to date: 1st 8lb) My target weight is 13st 7lb, any less than this and I look like "crap"

The training has improved dramactically.............but still along way to go.
