Lock Down
My work at the gym has take a serious knock following Dad’s death. I was hoping to get myself back up and running again. But then COVID-19 turned up the heat and the Gym closed. Tonight the country enters a three week lock down, well partial lock down anyway. So, as a result I will […]
Dad
Friday the 13th. I don’t go with this superstition stuff but Friday the 13th March 2020, wow, you unleashed hell did you not? My father died. He wasn’t supposed to. It wasn’t expected. I found him in the evening after I could not reach him on the phone. The good news is he knew nothing […]
400 more
Another visit to the gym last night and another 400 calories on the cross trainer. 799 calories recorded by the tech in 01:57:35. It was a wet old night so I got rather wet. First time not taking the bag. Not a great idea but so was taking the bag in the rain. Quite busy. […]

Trying to continue the run
I went to the gym this evening. I decided on a different approach, rather than sitting on the cross trainer. As I said, I get on the thing and can’t get off. So, instead, I went on the rowing machine, did some weights and then went on the cross trainer. This wasn’t a great success. […]
Might be getting silly
Saturday night at the Gym. I don’t have a plan as such. The first thing is the cross trainer to warm up. The problem is I don’t seem to be getting off. So, this time I burnt – 1000 Calories in 2:03:03 Needless to say I did nothing else. Here’s the proof – So, apart […]
