Merry Christmas, Happy new year and training update

| No Comments
Hi All,
  Been a long time since I've had chance to post. I was asked to be best man (again) and had a lot of stuff to sort out with the stag getting in touch with people he hadn't spoke to in ages, etc... The Wedding itself was in Jamaica so that took at lot of sorting and time as well. Then it was getting ready for Christmas and so no.
  Anyway, back to normal now so lets pickup where I left off.

Crash diet
I lost 9 pounds in 3 days, and about 1% of body fat. Pretty impressive. One thing I should note is that as with most crash diets, this can dramatically effect your bowl movements. After the first day be cautious breaking wind, lol. On the 3rd day I ate the same as the second, and spent 1 hour on the cross trainer (to sets of 30mins) and an hour on the bike (to sets of 30 mins). I looked considerably leaner.

Goals update
With the wedding and all training had gone off the rails a little. Although this week I'll be getting back to it.

Running
Bristol 10k is coming up in May, it's an ideal stepping stone if you are thinking about doing the Bristol half. I'll certainly be doing it, and trying to convince as many people to join me as I can. It usually only takes an hour to complete the race, so it's nowhere near as grouling as Bristol half.
