The unscripted ramblings of a middle aged man?

A bit about me

Well here I am going public for all to see! Now I'll be committed to keeping up the metres or face public humiliation!
I am a 50 year old George Clooney lookalike (or so my wife tells me!) with 2 daughters having met and overcome my mid-life crisis by climbing Kilimanjaro with few difficulties and now settling into a slow decline into middle age!
Excercise has been a part of my life for five or six years and I bought my own model C about 4 years ago and I hope to reach 10 million meters by the end of this month (currently 9,750,000).
I was recently "recruited" to FS by BgWaveDave around Christmas time - thanks mate!
I also run - but not very fast - on a regular basis and am always astounded that I can row 10k way faster than I can run 10k. Can anyone do it the other way round? Or has anyone been daft enough to think about it?
One of lifes little mysteries to me is why does my weight not drop below 85kg (I'm 6'2") when I excercise most days - and before I'm asked - no, I dont eat all the pies!
For my sins I run an animal feedstuffs trading company based in Liverpool and live in North Wales, enjoy the outdoors, hillwalking and sailing - and red wine - although I too am drying out in January; successfully to date.
I hope to muse or ruminate on my training and other trivia as time goes by and welcome comments, thoughts or otherinterjections to an otherwise pointless ramble through my posts.

Simon,
You know it made sense joining Free Spirits. Looking forward to your next installment
