Well, colour me confused
January 29th, 2009As I've been sick this week, I haven't done much in the way of exercise. I did a 50Km ride on Saturday and a 20Km ride on Sunday and haven't done anything since. At weigh-in today, it turns out I've lost 1.2Kg. Here's what the atta-boy had to say:… more »

Hello world
January 24th, 2009So, I've been thinking lately that I should have my own blog. Self-indulgent though it is, for some reason it strikes me as less self-indulgent than LJ or posting long-winded threads on forums I frequent. So, here it is, my first post. This blog will… more »
