Alan feeds Dextor

My sister came and stayed for a few days so it was great to see her. There we were on Wed night, Caz and I, my son Perry, Kali and Kate. Wish i got a picture of it but we were enjoying the moment too much! As soon as she left on Thursday, Dextor came around with his new Dad Alan!

With work, well it's been a busy week and has left me exhausted. If i'm to return to full time work I need to build the endurance up. I was out on the mountain bike with the dog running alongside. Kettlebells tonight.

The weather has been glorious and I have been out on the Triumph quite a bit. Maybe i'll get a longer blast at the weekend. We are looking at different properties right now, in the hope of finding something we would love to live in. We have seen a couple but one sticks out, so we are racing to finish decorating so we can put our house on the market and get into the game.

Sore legs

Ray, Aberdeen's Mr Kettlebell

Oh that familiar feeling of sore legs, stiffened up so you creak to pick something off the floor, reminds me that i was throwing kettlebells around on Saturday.

I found that during the week before, when i was doing a set of 20 swings, I was losing the discipline of clenching the buttocks and squeezing the abs. So on Saturday i decided to do less but with more intensity. Build the foundations strong!

I went beynd my small number as the discipline was good and i threw in some one handed -alternative - swings to finish off with. I'll have to do some today to get rid of the pain and keep it regular. I seem to be beyond the cramping problems now though [touch wood] and seem to have added a kilo in muscle mass. Diet is good, hydration is good. Everyone tells me i'm looking healthy. I have suppressed the rash from developing further.

"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push."

Here's the video of the banding i underwent a few months back. You'll see the rubber bands on the varices. I cringe with the memory of the pain! Be warned....
