This week has been a write off exercise wise so far.... so far I hear you ask...what can you do to make up for it in 2 days? Well...
From noon tomorrow to noon Sunday a team of us ''COP's'' are taking part in the Cancer Research Relay for Life, which is a 24 hour relay where at least 2 members of each team must be on the track to keep the relay going at any one time.
''TC'' did it last year and covered 50 miles...I kid you not! I'm going to attempt 40 over the period with ''TC'' by my side of course. (But you know me, fickle and full of empty promises!)
Each team has to do a theme and decorate their tent etc and ours is 'Surf's Up!' so if you happen to visit FB Fields tomorrow or Sunday and see dodgy shorts (and even dodgier legs), that'll be us!
Off for some zzzzz's now as I won't see my bed again until Sunday evening ...and I'm so bad tempered when I'm tired....you have been warned!
About Me
- The Social Cyclist!
- St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom
- I'm bright, funny (I think so), witty (ditto)and a bit cheeky. I admire intelligence, compassion, good manners, good sense of humour, good conversation, like having my feet tickled, cycling, music, chocolate and the sea. I dislike, ignorance, arrogance, hypocrisy, litter bugs, cruelty to children & animals, violence, Johnny Vegas and the word 'incorrigible'!
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...
