Following my self imposed exile from blogging I thought I'd get down to it, invest a few sparre moments, and put some more ramblings onto th'interweb!
After some impressive (by my standards) meters since Christmas I actually handled down this morning having started a warm up with the good intention of 40 minutes hard push before work. A sore throat yesterday and restless night should have warned me off - BUT I'm far to stupid for that! Less than 2k and I was done in so shower, breakfast and off to work with an unimpressive 1700 odd metres to post today. I will now probably take time off until the weekend before my next attempt. This is the first cold I've had for over two years - a testament to what a healthy lifestyle can do for an old chap!
However, for you with an eye for a bargain and a few quid to spare, buy shares in Boots - with the amount I spent in there on remedies yesterday the price is sure to rocket and trouser you investors a pile of dosh!
Actually, I put this blip in my unblemished health record down to stopping drinking for the month of January. Following an excessive (and again impressive and enjoyable) festive season of alcohol intake I thought (mistakenly) that I would improve my health by abstaining until February..........and look what's happened! Oh well, I'll learn from my mistakes. I think that next year I will keep dating the daughter of Mr & Mrs Artois even after the festive season has passed and see how I get on!
So for now having picked up the cudgel of blogging again I wish all readers a happy and healthy New Year with many PB's and ever increasing meters under their respective belts.

P.S. you must have too much spare time if you've managed to get this far!
