The Ghost Walk was excellent last night...highly recommended!
It was as if the misty murky weather had been ordered in, especially for the event!!
Didn't get home until way after 11pm...very late for me on a school night so there was no way that I was going to be able to get up for the gym this morning..... I need at least 8hrs per night.
Decided to go after work instead and toddled off with my gym bag but as the day went on I was getting progressively more exhausted and having that all too familiar conversation with myself, you know the one....'I'm not going to the gym/Get a grip, I am going/No, I'm way too tired etc/Just go for 30mins etc..
Anyway, it got to 5pm and I'd had enough and just wanted to go home....but the strange thing is, on the way, I had a bit of a Damascus moment (think caused by the fit guy who cycled past me!) and did 45mins of very hard (I mean sweat running down the end of my nose) cycling on the exercise bike at home.. Good huh?!!
Onwards and upwards...

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...
