Resolve, Absolve, Involve

A good time of the year to make some fitness, nutrition and other resolutions for the new year. In terms of absolving, just cut some slack to people who’ve done you wrong. Life’s too short after all. Involve - well, I reckon I’m lucky to pursue so many enjoyable fitness activities so it will always be my aim to involve and introduce people to sports like cycling, triathlon, running and swimming.

Christmas was busy with a big cooked brekky courtesy of Dee. Christmas lunch at her sister’s was another fantastic spread with great food and company.

In the evening, around 40 people were at our little ‘cubby house’ in Canning Vale (just Dee’s immediate family, amazingly - and to think that I have a large family over in Melbourne as well. Christmas would be busy indeed if we were all in one city.

A very hard bike ride with the Team Force crew including Richard Kelly (with his West Coast Master Blasters jersey on), Guy Pritchard, Jason John and Craig Saywell. Got dropped a few times and just have to toughen up. Nearly got Richard on the Riverside Drive sprint at around 60kph. Couldn’t quite latch on to his wheel! He did warn me about getting revenge for last week.

Off to get some Massaman Beef from the Ranford Thai restaurant. Chilling out. Nice warm weather. A few leftovers to eat as well and a few drinks. It’s a great time of year. Training starts at start of Jan 2010. How many of you will join the cycling time trialling journey and/or Busso Half Ironman??

I’ve teamed up with a work mate for the 5 dams ride ( see www.cyclosportif.com.au). I reckon I’ll be saying damn a few more times than that after 230kms of hilly cycling.

Adios amoebas
