In a heap...

Me and my gym kit. My 5k treadmill time was almost two minutes slower than my usual and was pretty much a battle of wills the whole way.

A huge admirer of too many athletes to mention, wise words from Sir Bradley Wiggins always ring in my ears whenever my body is screaming at me to stop. The minute you give up - you'll regret it, he reminds me. He's right ofcourse.

I've been at this long enough to know that these are the workouts that count.

And now, as I prepare for a long soak and perhaps a G&T later, I feel great! X
