    My shred has been dispatched and I have shiny new pair of dumbells :j

    Yesterday half an hour x-trainer at gym (probably why shin was hurting) and today had only time for 15 minute exercise bike. I have now retired from the dog walking business (unless somebody asks me - I am not advertising) but now during school holidays DD is going to a holiday club which is 1.5 mile from work so I should be doing that distance twice a day either running or walking. Plus hoping to teach myself front crawl so popping into the gym for a paddle every now and again.

    Well done Sparkles and Hypno for weight loss :T

    I am heading away for the weekend for total rest for 3 days which is good as been feeling that some kind of bug is trying to get hold of me.

    Lurks - go for it, just don't go flat out and you'll be fine :)

    but isn't that the point? to GO flat out?

    Just what I gather from the reviews.....

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    It is a killer exercise dvd - 3 levels of 20 mins each. They are only 20 mins because that is all anyone can possibly manage without collapsing!!

    Part of the Furniture
    Can I join you all? I am trying to get the nerve together to do a half marathon soon, well sometime, as I missed the entries for the great south run this year and would really like some support. I've got a 10k booked for the beginning of August and have doen next to no running in recent months and then I am toying with the New Forest Half in Sep or hanging on until Mar for the Bath Half.
    Will definitely go for a run tomorrow, no chance today as I am stuck in work.
