Quite an eventful w/end all in all but not in the way you would expect...i.e. not much cycling done!
Yesterday morning I had to make a life changing decision which I'd been wrestling with....I know I made the right choice but talk about being wiped out afterwards...phew!
All cycling cancelled due to lack of energy...
Yesterday evening had dinner with ''BFMT''.........who is dreaming of being a literary genius....drank too much champagne so all cycling cancelled again today, this time due to lack of interest!
However had a little social cycle to ''BFG&AC'' to see their lovely new home...Holly Cottage...except it's not really a cottage as it's 4 stories high!!
Far too big for those 2 to rattle around by themselves...I'll have to have a chat to them about adopting me when I get back!!
I did cycle very fast to ease my guilty conscience....
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...
