First entry

This is my first post , to see of it's working! The blog is charting my progress as I prepare for a 1200K fund raising bike ride for St John's Hospice on the Wirral . If you'd like to know more - and maybe donate - click on the following: http://www.justgiving.com/destinationbergerac/
I'm off shortly to St John's (2pm this afternoon) to talk with Helen from their fundrasing team - for ideas from them and to let them know what I'm doing . It was only 10 days or so ago whern I finally started to take seriously the planning. Since when I've spoke with Colin , one of the fitness instructors at Total Fitness. He's given me a set of exercises :warm ups, cardio vascular , weights and core strength training with stretches . I need to go at least 3 times a week. I went last Monday and am going late this afternoon! Need to build up my mileage on the road as well so I'm off for a 20 mile ride tomorrow, the first longish ride in over a year. Pause for thought: " I phoned the local gym and asked if they could teach me to do the splits. He asked :" How flexible are you ?" I said :" I can't make Tuesdays or Thursdays." Further thought. A guy went into a pet shop to buy an goldfish. The assistant asked him: " Do you want an aquarium?" The guy answered: " I don't care what star sign it is."
