Intended to go to a lunchtime Pilates class but didn't..
Rushed home to get in a power walk as it was such a lovely evening only to realise that in my zeal to be organised I had taken all my fitness gear to work in preparation for my gym visits... I know!!..such misplaced organisation!
Yes....I could've went for a cycle but haven't got around to putting the lights on my bike ...yes..yes...feeble pathetic excuse....so decided the static bike would have to do....
Now as I mentioned I need to keep myself occupied whilst doing this and wasn't in the mood for Tony Soprano so watched Seven.....I forgot how good that movie was....gruesome but interesting..
I wonder if I could get a media thingy fitted to my bike in Vietnam? That would make the miles fly by...

Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007
Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
