Afternoon everyone.

8 weeks yesterday until holiday… really have to knuckle down now with the training. I even managed to avoid cleaning the house yesterday as i sneaked to the gym under my strict schedule ( or when it suits me! ). I always clean the house incorrectly anyway, whatever i clean, my girlfriend re-cleans so saves me wasting my time and sulking!

Went for a cycle ride the other night again, did baout 5 miles. Did a great back workout yesterday … should have done cardio in theory but always prefer lifting. Chest tonight.

Anyone else out there as bothered about looking good on holiday apart from me?

At last the weather seems to represent what the summer sun should be! about time i’m sure you will agree with me.

Me and my missus made the most of the weather. After 15 years of forgetting she even owned a bike she eventually got hers brought up for her from home much to the delight of her parents as it was always clogging up precious paint pots and dusty hammer space in the garage. However, it needs some TLC … especially now as the back break broke during the ride and the front break squeaks like a bunch of howling banshees!

Anyway, we set off on a nice cycle ride on sunday afternoon, only did about 8 miles along a canal cycle path but was a really nice day. Stopped at a pub for sunday lunch, slowly watched my girlfriend turn lobster red on her back, get ridiculous vest marks and I snapped my sunglasses - but apart from that it was a wicked day. If it is nice at the weekend we are going to do it again.

I was back in the gym yesterday on the weights - shoulders and triceps, probably tennis tonight.

Is anyone else getting excited about wimbledon coming up? I need something to to take my mind off our boys not being in the Euro championships.
