Good morning all


Back a day early as I had had enough of not being out there.  I also took another step towards 40 yesterday which encouraged me to get off my arse.  For the record turning 39 is a bit of a non-entity, you are still young enough to think you still have it but as anyone under the age of 30 will tell you, 39 is bloody old!


Anyway it was nice to get back out this morning.  To be honest it was not easy, the chest infection was really quite bad so it felt like starting from scratch but I am sure it will get easier in the coming days.  I was also wearing a fetching neon yellow running top kindly given to LB by Mrs LB for my birthday!  If you had the misfortune of seeing me around Chiswick this morning I can only apologise, I am sure it wasn't a pleasant site.  Mind you more pleasant that the state of the streets this morning.  Last night must have been a big one in West London, I was the following whilst out this morning:

• 3 tipped over bins
• A dismantled roadworks
• Traffic cone on top of a set of traffic lights
• Multiple pavement-pizzas
• A golf bag (minus golf clubs) in the middle of the road

In other news, Mrs LB is leaving me for a week so I am going to have to balance work, daddy duties and training which is going to be a struggle but I have no wriggle room now having lost 2 weeks of training.


Thanks again to those who continue to donate to the cause despite Lardy Boy being sat on his fat arse, it is a great source of encouragement.  I am now over £1,600 which is superb.  If you haven't yet donated but want to don't be shy and click the link above.


Running around after the kids and then taking Mrs LB to Heathrow this afternoon is the order of the day.  Tomorrow's plan is to try a 5-miler then build up during the week with the target of 12 miles on Sunday.


No more illness or injuries please, Lardy is on a mission!


Have a great Sunday.
