19
I live in Hertfordshire
still do
Started rowing in 2000 when I worked for a large phamacuetical company at there gym. Loved it. Completed the 2001 Red Nose 1,000,000 metres. Then changed jobs to work for a friend as a Audio Visual Tech
Now back with the large Pharmaceutical company . First couple of years was up and down the country a lot, no exercise and loads on motorway service food saw me 'blossum' to just over 20 stone.
Brought my C2 in March, got an email from Michele telling me about Free Spirits. Love it!!
Well and truely addicted.
Since March I have made a point of not changing my diet
still haven't but just exercising a lot more
hmmmm . There is no point in kidding myself - Have always / Am / and will always be a fat-boy
yep!! . I love good food and good beer and good Barcardi
Still do, although 'Kraken' is catching up!! and good chocolate etc etc.
So I am never going to be thin (belly is all brought and paid for - no HP on that puppy!) but as long as I can be healthly and kick a ball round with my boy I am well happy.
My biggest challenger on the metre board is myself. Always setting myself challenges to do. Having to get to 3 million (life time) metres before my holiday which led into getting to 2 million season metres before my holiday. Then Mr Sims done the September Ends challenge. Then I see that 4 million (life time) metres is getting close so I have set out to complete that before the end of the year which again will incorporate reaching 3 million (season) metres as well. Then there is my own weekly / monthly challenges - The list goes on and on!!!!
...and I really want Free spirits to get to the moon. What an achievement.
We now have a dog (an incredibly daft Chocolate Labrador named 'Esme') so lots of dog walking over the last 9+ years. Still in the same house and now rowing in my 4th location within that house! I'd like to say I've matured over the last 14 years but that would be as complete and utter lie, if anything I've got worse. The problem is my mind actually going he wrong way to my body - ie, getting younger and my body is struggling to keep up!!
Regards
Pete
Looking forward to seeing more outstanding CTC entries!
