It's been a long time since my last blog - many metres posted and not much time in which to carry on my rambles and rants!
I have foolishly put my name in seven slots for the 24 x 7 Carole MacNally week of rowing. Four 6am slots, two 5am slots and a very late 9pm hour which will no doubt finish me off completely! All being well I hope to bash out a minimum 15k each session putting in a total of over 100k. Let's hope I don't disgrace myself completely and falter in any way. What a great idea and good luck to each and every participant.
Changing the subject completely - does anyone else suffer with the post-Christmas syndrome of gyms packed with lycra clad bodies chatting whilst leaning on the equipment or making calls on their mobile phone telling everyone how fit they are becoming since they joined the gym! It does my head in! The manager at my local gym loves it! Membership fees coming in and new members not cancelling subscriptions because they feel that they will "lose" their new found fitness if they cancel the membership - not that they are getting fit because they do nothing! Roll on the quieter times when I can have a selfish hours training without a queue or distraction.............or am I a "grumpy old man!
Referring back to a previous post on my blog - my daughter passed her driving test on her first attempt a few days ago and is now enjoying her new found freedom. Well done to her - soon it will be payback time as I need a lift home after a few drinks. I'm sure that the initial novelty will wear off and it will become a chore - welocome to the real world!
