I can see why your run started and ended in Saddington

Also, after January’s 21 days, got a newfound respect for what you appear to be attempting. Isn’t lent 40 days though? Surely you’re not planning to crank it up all the way, 40km by day 40??? :astonished::astonished:

Lent + 3

No wine…some chocolate and crisps…

Coaching at the Para Tri development squad weekend…which included being support cyclist to the hand cyclists…boy did they make me work hard…

so, no running, I was exhausted after coaching wimming in the afternoon.b. I will think about how to recover from this…

well I managed a few more days however the pressure of work and studies took over…

I will think of some other way to get me active again soon.

Mrs eJC and I did manage 2 x Mon - Sat without alcohol, drinking on Sunday only sharing a bottle of wine…Mrs eJC also went without chocolate which is hard to do as she gets given such gifts regularly at work…I have therefore done the honourable thing and helped her out here…

I gave up eggs two months ago
Holding strong to date
I gave up … ish…sugar free redbull ( the cheap versions!) 5 weeks ago I was drinking 6-8 small cans a week.
I now have one a week, some weeks none.

If only cider was so easy !

there was a time when i put training higher up the agenda and went dairy product, egg white, gluten and tuna free out of necessity…

i really missed eggs though…

and cheese…

and Guinness (why i switched to red wine)…

now i am less active, i eat the lot and let my stomach fight it out…
