Good morning one and all,
A belated Merry Christmas to you all and I hope that Santa delivered a bundle of goodies to you.
Today Lardy Boy finally returned to the roads after a 2 week lay off. The first 10 days of the enforced break was due to a nasty cold that ended up as a chest infections. The last 5 days was to a complete abuse of my body, I would have attached a photo of my recycle bin but to be honest I am too ashamed to! We had a top Christmas at home with various family and the Lardy Boy Christmas lunch went down a storm.
You will notice that we are now on the countdown to the big day in April. Pre-Christmas was all about just getting out there and running. As of this morning I have started my official 16 week training plan which to be honest looks brutal and terrifying in equal measure. I would share the total mileage to go with you but it is too depressing, plus I will no doubt take a few short cuts along the way!
This morning's run was made difficult for a number of reasons:
1. The first run in more than 2 weeks
2. A 'refreshing' Christmas
3. A particularly 'refreshing' trip to Twickenham yesterday to watch Harlequins. As an aside I was devastated that the 'stars' from X-Factor were the stadium entertainment..... Shit, is there no escaping Simon 'Tossing' Cowell!!!?
4. A 'refreshing' evening watching the mighty Arse tanning the chavvy hides of the West London Russians!
5. An early start watching England giving Punter and his 10 Clowns a good kicking
Some of you wanted some photographs by way of proof of training. Quite why I have no idea. I should point out that the photo below was AFTER my run and not before, just so we are clear. You will notice that I have purchased some base layers, which no puts me in the 'all the gear now idea' bracket.
Quite attractive I think you will agree.
Anyway some more family visits today followed by a night of festivities in Beaconsfield at the family Durdles. This should make tomorrow's planned 4-5 miler a bit of a struggle however it will be another Lardy Boy on Tour production.
Till then, have a great day
