Back from holiday

I'm back from the Lake District. Photos will follow, but I have to say that varying my exercise has been quite fun. We went hiking on Friday and mountain biking yesterday, and though my muscles are suffering for it now, it's much more enjoyable than plodding on a treadmill for an hour a day.

I have been a little bit concerned about my aching joints, but I've been advised that it's entirely my own fault for spraining my right ankle so regularly (once every six months or so, like clockwork, for the past 20 years) meaning that my right knee tries to over-compensate for its ineptitude or something.  I have some exercises to try and toughen it up, anyway, and some rather nifty Mentholatum Deep Freeze and Deep Heat patches, so we'll see what happens.

More importantly, though, I've now raised over £500 for the Alzheimer's Society. And I've not even pulled on my running shoes in anger yet...
