I'm a Gambler, And I'm A Runner, But You Knew That When You Lay Down...

The morning started early as Jon rung me as he was passing to give me some spring grips for a tricept bar – Yawn I know! We had a quick chat before he had to go I got ready to cycle to Altrincham to go to the nearest Yorkshire Bank Branch… I was ready to set off at half 8… I opened the front door – it was absolutely lashing it down with rain… I don’t mind cycling in the rain per se, it’s just sometimes an issue if I get places when I’m wet.

I twiddled my thumbs for a few minutes and decided it wasn’t going to let up so headed off on the six odd mile ride – it didn’t let up and I got utterly drenched - I haven’t been that wet since the time I fell asleep in the bath.

Anyhow I got sorted at the bank and popped into Specsavers to chat quickly with Miss Victoria McKenna – I dripped all over their floor so soon headed back to Chorlton, and topped up the maximal saturation of my garments on the way.

I had an interview- it seemed to go okay, I don’t really care for the job but of course said otherwise, the location is the main issue and I’d much prefer the city centre not Salford. It would be much better for my Karma. Anyhow wait and see – it did mean I had to have a shave and spend £16 on taxis – rubbish!

I tired cycling to Toby’s in the evening, which is in Altrincham too, I did in fact but he wasn’t in, the weather held and I appreciated getting out on the bike to burn a few calories and to vent some frustration physically.

But I retuned home early and went to an off-licence which Spencer mentioned to me - they apparently sell Nigerian 7%ABV Guinness, but I was unable to find it and settled for a verity of ‘World Ales’ which were okay I guess…

What with m recent injuries and my inability to exercise properly, I’ve obviously adjusted my training and have reduced my calorific intake – it seems I’ve lost a umber of pounds and am now 12st – 168lbs (76.5kg) so a Super Middleweight! I’m restricted in my training and am generally restricted to gentle, low impact cardio like skipping and skiing, but hope to build a wide base of cardiovascular fitness to utilise when I arise again.

I’m still playing online chess – this game against Gabrielle from South Africa, I’m white and now it’s her turn…
