on Saturday I completed an 86 mile bike ridefrom Leicester to Skegness in about 5hrs + 40 mins and on Sun another 20 miles back from Melton Mowbray to Leicester in memory of my lovely partner Dave, who I lost doing the same bike ride last year. It was very important to me to finish it for him and myself and I did it with the help of some great friends, tonight I somehow found the legs to go out for a 40 min run. It makes me feel better to get some exercise and has helped me through a really difficult time. Just need to find my next challenge! By hook or by crook I will lose this weight and it will be easier than lugging the extra equivalent weight of a small child around with me!
