Update for the week
Not a bad week, been consistent on the amount of calories burned and the variety of exercise.
Really need to try and up my training, but struggling to find the time in the day OR NIGHT!!
But this week I will try to incorporate more evening TT rides and purchase a new rear tyre this week for a good road ride I think on Sunday.
I will be collecting for the MS Society at Carrow Road on Saturday before the Reading game, and so time will be short over the weekend for heavy training.
The Tourdepeaks website is looking fantastic and only a few more additions for it ot be completed.
I have a presentation in March at a Rotary Club in Norwich which will encompass my challenge and also my work.........the presentation will be good practice for the MS Society AGM meeting whereby I am the Guest Speaker!!!! was that my bottom twitching????? it will be fine.....I hope!

A great weekend of training ...... managed two straight days on the cycle turbo trainer in the garage! just need to up the amount of training some how. Went on the Wii fit for a spot of tennis and yoga!!! and plenty of other stuff on there too!

The first week of new training schedule
A good first week of training, managed a jog every lunchtime, and also a couple of morning stints cycling on the turbo trainer in the garage.
Going to have a go at the 'Get fit to apply' training plan used when thinking of joining the Royal Marines......think I may be actually past the stage of a career in the Marines but the training plan could be a bit of fun.
Good to see that Tom has started some more training this week.....well done Tom. I need you to be super fit to give me a push!!!! lol
Well, it is saturday morning and need to get sorted for another run and a stint on the bike.
Hope to sort a few pics out soon and a link to the work in progress website for the tourdepeaks!!!

New Year and Challenge date Pencilled in!
So we move into 2011 and what a year it will prove to be.
A date is pencilled in the diary for August 12th as the start date!!!!!
The training is restarting in earnest now, and I am looking forward to the challenge of getting fit again following the over indulgence over the festive period and a very lethargic 2 or 3 months!
The determination is there from me, and so a start has been made using the Wii Fit from Christmas......a nice fresh 4 or 5 mile run this morning.....all to show how unfit I have got from being a lard arse!
Training program in place so now just need to execute.
Some news from the other day......I have been asked to be the guest speaker at the MS Society AGM in April, so I was proud to accept the invite.
Got the route planned, got the website to design over the next 2 or 3 weeks. and a plan to put in place to raise the profile once again and the sponsorship/fundraising.
I have been updating on Twitter but been very lapse on the Blog.....so if anyone is actually reading this then I will try to now be more regular with the updates!!!

August 2010
Hi anyone who reads my Blog!??!!! Anybody out there???
Well.....again it has been a long time since my last blog update. It is hard to keep updating so many media and social sites.
I have now purchased www.tourdepeaks.co.uk as the web name for the MS Society Charity Challenge. So just need to build the site, which I have started doing....and I have also got a very kind lady called Maddy from Natalex.co.uk to host the site for free for me.
The training is going well. I managed to cycle to Fakenham and back just over a week ago, and I have also now started running again. Just had more physio yesterday courtesy of The Jefford Centre, run and owned by Evie Jefford in Norwich, who has been fantastic in the help, advice and physio given in the past few weeks.
Also starting to have a run in the lunchtime and then hopefully this will help with the fitness.....sure it can't do any harm!
I must get the bike booked in for a service, the pedals and show clips I am getting use to.....only fallen off twice now.....hehehe.
Promise to try and keep the blog updated but much easier to update Twitter than get on to update the blog.
Hope to have more pics to upload soon, and also get the website done asap too.

Tour de France or Tour de Peaks
Exciting news that the Tour de France is starting this weekend!!! who will be the winner.....Armstrong, Wiggins, Contodor??? will Cav win the sprints and be in the green??
Anyway back to the Tour of Training for the charity challenge, I managed to try the new pedals and shoes last weekend.... on Saturday for the first time. To great effect......I went 10 miles ish without incident and at my first major junction forgot to unclip thinking I could merge with traffic. Only to find out I couldn't.....then the sudden panic hit home that my feet were stuck to the pedals and tiimmmbbbbberrrr! comedy moment. A passer by kindly came to my aid after braking and parking on a grass verge, but I managed to unclip and pick myself and the bike off the floor with a smile on my face! Thanked the passer by then finished 17 miles.
Sunday was more successful with the pedals!! and I managed a lovely 30 mile ride in the baking sun......some beautiful Norfolk scenery taken in.
Tuesday 5 am start and managed a quick 10 mile before heading into the office early......so training going well this week!
