Started the blog to diaries my travels.
Few weeks ago made the decision to become fitter for my 40th birthday at the beginning of October. Back off to the Highlands of Scotland to walk in Glencoe and walk up Ben Nevis with G.
So future blogs will cover my outdoor training to become fitter, "Fitter and Flatter for 40 in Four Weeks" is my new motto!
Class myself as skinny fat! As Dobby will testify I do have a jelly belly! Not as many jelly cubes as others I know (no names mentioned!!)
For the last 2 weeks I've been using dumb bells, barbell and a cheap! exercise bike. Becoming a hermit crab! so need to get out in the fresh air to exercise too.
Got the ok from the docs this morning to begin running! Blood pressure is fine and I have the build! for a runner. He mentioned running on roads ain't good for the joints and hips. It's better to run on grass etc.
Many years ago Gary and I tried 6am runs before work. First of all was laps of Congleton Park then down Giantswood Lane to the squash club and back. Think we lasted a week!!
On a previous run with G I enjoyed a short running burst! to the summit.
Bit too far to travel to Wales or the Lakes for fell running every week to practice! So decided on Trail Running.
Found using the exercise bike it can be a bit mundane! So after reading an article on Men's Fitness website I've set myself 2 objectives for the end of September and one on the morning of my birthday!!
For now one involves my exercise bike, the other a trail run......
