The Get fit club!

I wouldn't mind some more greenhouse gases right about now... -20 C here this morning :p: :mark: .

Eish! Pull out the thermal underwear boet before your Johnson falls off! You wont look to good in your speedo without it :laugh: ;)

Alas, the speedo's packed away for the next few months, and Johnson's gone inverted :p: .

:p: :rotflmao: :p:

I've recently been moving from get fit to fat git club.
I've given up on cycling almost completely due to weather, work stuff and laziness. I just can't be bothered to go riding in dark, muddy trails when I could be watching tv. :D
I try to do two to three 1-1.5 hour walks every week to keep at east some activity up.

I might have to get new running shoes since the ones I have now don't feel quite right.
The problem is that local shops only have children's sizes and I have to get the UK13 size shoes from web shops so it's always a bit of gamble. :(

Walking is at least something :). Especially once you get over an hour in duration.

I noted on my Endomondo feed that Ibby (erstwhile of this parish) did a 16 mile walk in London yesterday. Now that is good going!

Pretty cold here too but still hope to get out on my bike when I can. The media keeps talking of a horrendous winter, but no sign of it just yet. I just hope the snow stays away long enough so I can ride to the cycling club Christmas dinner in a few weeks time. It's about a 40 mile round trip into the hills, which might be sketchy!

I'm hoping we'd get snow soon, last winter I went snow shoeing with my brother almost twice a week, really good fun, and took 1.5 to 2 hours each time. Before stomping in the dark with only a headlamp for lighting I would have thought it's impossible to get completely lost 2km's from where I live. :D I had to buy a compass to make any sense direction.

Thumbs up for Big Ben calling us out.... even in the cold people can find something if they keep the motivation up enough to exercise inside. It seems Gregory isn't bothered much by the cold either.


That said, I've been major slacking due to nursing my back. I've actually had some good/great weather for going riding and not many cold days at all. I'm easing back into some walking and hoping to get back on the bike soon after some physio for the back.

Well... November has been the best month for me so far and there's still one more week left of it. Anyway, I have to admit I didn't have to deal with the sort of cold schmenke has to put up with. I only had to deal with single digits temperature thus far(talking Celsius of course) This week the temperature is supposed to get beyond the freezing sooo.... it's going to be very refreshing

Managed a personal best of 48:39 in Saturday's 10km, finishing 34th out of 130 participants. Thankfully the weather was decent, about -4 C and clear.
The forecast is for relatively mild (above freezing) temps this week so I'll be trying to take advantage and get a few kms in before another deep-freeze (and hibernation) sets in :p: .
