"Hello, Mr Wood-Rich?"

"Hello, Mr Wood-Rich?"
"Um, Yes...?"
"This is Gladys from the lost and found department, I believe you lost something last week and I'm calling to confirm."
"Awesome, much appreciated, Gladys was it (?) ... um, what did I lose? I wasn't aware of leaving anything behind anywhere, the only thing I've lost recently is my sanity twice and a couple of kilograms last week <chuckle>"
"That's right sir, your lost weight was discovered and has been returned to you, turns out you left it in the biscuit tin"
"shit"
Turns out I also earned interest on it somewhere as well.
I guess it was "Fun Month" after all...
If you've been reading this blog you may have noticed that I have recently added a couple of extra pages to it, Training Stats and Event Calendar. The intention of this blog was to document my progress from a Clydesdale Triathlete in the 2011-12 season to a lean(er) Ironman athlete in March 2013. So, I will be logging my training km as well as my weight and % body fat to be shown graphically here. As the km increase the other stats will (optimistic much?) go the other way. Sunday night will be the official weigh in.
On an unrelated note, I would like to take this moment to decline any invites to large lunches or dinners that fall on a Sunday, no reason...
This week sees the beginning of the winter base training, no more latte rides, and I'm starting a run technique program this week as well so I guess this is where it all starts. I been here 4 times before, and each time I've told myself (and any that would listen) that next year I'll be fighting fit and kicking ass. I may have actually ended up fit and fighting and some minor ass may have felt my boot but they've still never really been the results I was after. This year is different, I swear (* removes glasses and notes your dismissive snort) By the end of this coming season I have the grandaddy of races scheduled and in front of a home crowd AND a team to represent. I can't and won't disappoint these people. I am so privileged to be in this position, a fact that is not lost on me. So, as I leave "Fun Month" behind it is with little trepidation, and great anticipation that I look toward the coming months, the re-introduction with the early morning sessions and arriving tired but invigorated to the office knowing that I've achieved something even before sitting down at my desk.
I also envision I'll be getting many more calls from Gladys over at that mythical Lost and Found department, I do reckon I'll be screening that bitch's calls from now on.
