Over the last four weeks, life’s been a strange convoluted version of itself. No working out, hardly any bike riding, very little posting … horrible, horrible stuff!

From today, it’s all back on - well, the bike riding and the posting anyway. Even though I’m tempted by the idea of just a few dumbbell presses, I’m trying to apply the same rules I’d be making my clients live by to myself. So no dumbbell presses. Yet.

And to mark my return to the normal world, I’ve signed up for nanowrimo … because running a business, being a single parent and every other thing just isn’t enough … I’m going to write a novel as well. What I love is the idea you’re not allowed to edit during November - that’s for December. So let’s see how it goes … plus the idea of writing part of said novel in the tropics of Bali … how can it be a bad thing?

Ran 2.5k’s this morning with a little help from Limp Bizkit on my iPod. Until I can lift weights again, I’m going to turn myself into a cardio machine. Or that’s the theory, anyway. I also did a huge ab workout, since I usually manage to find some excuse not to do that part of my training.

Today I’m loving: toss up between Limp Bizkit and the new pedals on my Kona. I’ve got room for both today!
