Time seems to be passing really quick. I had good intentions to kick start my training in November but it didnt really materialise. Probably down to the weather, probably down to being this side of Xmas.

I see the Xmas break as a real turning point. Things will kick start for sure. Its not that I havent been training, I thinks its more the fact that I cant/dont get out on fells in the week I guess.

The past 2 Saturdays I have done leg 1 and then leg 2, both at 22 hr pace and with a heavyish pack on. Legs felt strong. The mid week training has consisted of work on the New Streets of Penrith. Sundays I have in the gym doing weights on my legs and limited upper body. I have also discovered that the cross trainer is quite a good workout when its on a high setting and you dont use your arms.

Since my induction into the gym I have been drinking more water and eating more fruit. Still havent drunk any alcohol since Halloween.

Looking forward to the Christmas break when I will hook up with others and get some work on Legs 3 and 4. Think Santa will be bringing me new trainers..................
