Good Day Today....but cold again

Cycled into work today, knee holding up although achy and slightly off the pace but very enjoyable despite the cold. I'm convinced that the cold weather is the main reason for achy knees so am very much looking forward to the warmer months.

I visited the gym last night and asked for some upper body exercises for a number of reasons: lean up a bit, build strength in my arms to avoid the 'stiff arm' handle bars syndrome when I get tired and also to strengthen my back to avoid fatigue. This resulted in 3 exercises: Brian Jacks style dips (I can do 2 before collapsing), press up position in the suspension harness and then touching a foam block alternately whilst keeping my legs straight (tough on the core) and underhand chin ups with my feet supported on a bench.  I am woeful at all of them but will just keep plugging away until I can do better numbers.

I received an e mail today from the League Cricket Association who want to do a story for their website.  The interview was done over the phone and we just need some pics to put with it as well. They have 25,000 members so I will FB and Twitter this to death!  I also asked for a cheeky donation so we will see what happens there.

I had a quick lesson on Social Media Marketing too from a colleague - all looks complicated and there is a lot to do but it has to be done - great way of maximising donations. £400 already and going well. If anyone cares, my hash tag is @hanneyboi

Bike is working well, I am not too bad in the mechanical department and the PR seems to be going well.
