Result times two

Result 1 - Managed to fit in cycling on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, 22 miles on each day. This is a milestone really as it proves that I can cycle two days in a row without too much trouble (although I will have to get nearer to 70 each day at some point!). Still it's a result at the moment. Mind you, it's only Sunday night at the moment - ask me how I feel tomorrow morning! I was unable to join in a kick around in Greenwich Park this afternoon. Well I went in goal but I didn't move much really. My leg muscles are suffering. I need some advice on to how to improve my leg muscles as they are really stiff and achy each time I ride and this wasn't the case when I started my training all those weeks ago.

Result 2 - I am over 70% of the way to my fund raising total after only two weeks. After all my worrying I may not need to donate as much myself or ask my readers to donate at all! Another result...

Listening to - Green Day, "Welcome to Paradise" (not by choice though).

PS Interesting article on how to reduce your carbon footprint in The Observer mag today. Simplest thing to do - stop buying and using those bloody patio heaters that everyone appears to have in the summer despite the warmer nights we have. Also, no need for a second fridge to keep beer and wine in. But the top one for me was use the car less and cycle more! I am feeling a bit holier than thou at the moment...
