Sit up September

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Down here in the far south of the planet we are settling into spring quite nicely thank you with a mix of sublimely beautiful days and some dripping wet rainy days; thus far a classic spring. Time now to shake off some of that winter flab - a few runs here and there and the 200 Sit Ups Challenge are helping in that regard, although there's been a small set back in MLCM household with the breaking of the treadmill's back. I'd been aware that the tready was feeling a bit "spongy" and guessed what had happened...



Domestic treadmills use a cheap bit of MDF coated in high-temperature wax for the running deck which invariably cracks after a while. Not really a problem if you can do a basic bit of maintenance once every few years, but you have to be aware of it or you'll end up running on a spongy deck which can bugger your knees if you don't pay attention.

So the tready is out of action for a little while until I fix the deck - not that it's a huge problem as the weather is more than fine enough to hit the streets anyhow. But I do like my treadmill and its proximity to all things useful, e.g. the beer fridge.

My last classic albums run (AC/DC) certainly provoked a few comments. EG and I possibly would have come to blows if we'd been discussing it after a few beers in a pub somewhere ... I'm going to have to put some serious thought into the next choice. Something similar perhaps, or should I go down a different path? Hmm...

Stay tuned, viewers.
