The blog is not the only thing that’s been suffering in the past couple of weeks, I’ve also been rather naughty and missed 2 sessions at the gym. In my defense I did have a really nasty cold on Thursday (not quite man-flu, but getting there) and I’ve been having a ‘do nothing, can’t be arsed to leave the house, let alone do nearly 10Km’s worth of exercise few days’. Last Tuesday I was very good and managed 600m on the cross trainer, 6Km on the bike and 60 lengths in the pool. Sunday I thought I’d just see how far I could go on the bike, which turned out to be not very far…

I was supposed to be seeing my parents on Sunday but I was out Friday night and Saturday night (such a social butterfly, I know) so I got up late. Instead I packed my stuff, made a fresh liter of squash for my drink bottle and headed to the gym. I got changed, plugged in the iPod and headed for the machines. Normally at this point I’d put my drink into the drink holder and get on the machine. Today, for some strange reason, I thought I’d put my drink somewhere near the drink holder and let go, allowing it to fall to the floor and disgorge and entire liter of squash over the floor. Which was nice. I then spent 5 minutes mopping the drink up with my towel (didn’t really do a good job), then another 5 minutes doing a very fast 3km on the bike before leaving with a “Wow, worked up a good sweat there, I meant to do a hard and fast workout and I’m not running away before anyone notices I spilled my drink everywhere” look on my face. To make sure I didn’t bump into anyone else who may have seen me drop my drink I got changed without showering, dashed home, threw my clothes in the wash and showered there. Ah, the shame .
I’m assuming when I go tomorrow the mess will be cleaned up and I can do my normal routine without making a complete arse of myself
