Not content with the no beer/more running/less meat start to the year today I achieved (for a fat, under-motivated biffa) a bit of a milestone. Firstly I went for a run at lunchtime - it was lovely - temperate, sunny and still - just the job for a 4 and a bit miler at just under 7:40 pace (which felt comfy, another good sign). Nothing remarkable in that, you may say - but that meant I've done something every day for a week. Not high mileage, not fast pace, but I either rode a bike or ran somewhere every day for a week. Hurrah.
Then later this evening I went with the Herb to Aireville Pool and did a spin class - so a "double" exercise session. I'm still unconvinced by spinning - even though I try to crank up the resistance there was only one exercise where my legs felt they were getting a good seeing to. More effort needed or just a bit of a sweaty gym-bunny con-job? Don't know - but we're going back next week for another go - well, given that The Herb has purchased some skin-tight muscle gear (think gay disco meets speed skater) he needs somewhere to go other than Queens Court in Leeds...
