Not a bad days work!

Wow, I'm feeling smug!

Ok, so I completely failed to get out for a ride this morning - I was tired ok? But I've made up for it by COMPLETELY clearing my cellar! Now this may not sound that impressive to the casual passerby, but understand that I bought this house more than 12 years ago and it has been rented out to 3 different household along the way. And at no time has it received more than a light dusting. Believe me if hercules was alive today his fifth labour would have been to clear my cellar.

Anyway it is now sorted and swept and well...a positive asset where I can store bicycles, tools, tins of paint etc and STOP THEM cluttering up the house. Fan'kin'tastic!

So, after that I went for a run. Did my usual beach circuit which at my best last year I managed in about 28 minutes. Was vaguely hoping to try and get it under 30 this time but not expecting too much. Checked my HRM at the end and I'd only gone and done it in 26:23! Looking good for the 10K this year - maybe I'll finally get that elusive sub 40 minute time. :o)

  1. GWF! I did my stair cupboard, you've done your cellar...

    My attic awaits!

    I got out for a tiny run on Saturday morning. I'll have to try a bit harder this week if I'm going to crack that elusive sub 50 minute finish time ;-)

    I'm up for that night-ride on Tuesday btw if it's on. Just off to Rayment for some waterproof cycling shoes...

  2. Gav, you mentioned that it may not sound all that impressive -- listen to this, right: I am totally impressed!!! I'm still so f**king crap when it comes to these things, and I truly admire people who can get their arses in gear and actually get down to it....instead of just postponing and postponing endlessly....

    And you RUN too??!!!!!!!!

  3. Well I am pretty pleased with it. It's the tidiest room in the house now!

    Mainly into cycling but every year my brother and I have a crazy race...

    Night ride should be on Ads - I'll get the batteries on charge.

  4. Night rides? You guys are brave -- I've heard that there's this scary creature roaming around somewhere in Shoreham-by-Sea -- especially at night!!

  5. Hey, I was thinking: if I gave you guys loads of Carlsberg beer and Lurpak butter, would you come and tidy up my flat? Oh, and the cupboard in the basement?
