Ha Ha, been out on the bike tonight to top up the times exercise log and in process completed the 70 mile cycling goal so that's one off the list. Going for a run early doors tomorrow and then gym to finish after work. Ha ha.
Bugger, have started a no-alcohol for 100 days mission and then they release news like this! Turns out a lil bit of booze is good for you. Only problem is I’m rubbish at just a little bit of booze. A great big vat-full is great but a modicum is a big deal for me. Have decided that if Derby beat Wigan on Saturday I might have a pint or two but if we don't then I stay with the diet cokes and black coffees!
From BBC’s article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7177506.stm
“A Danish team found people who led an active lifestyle were less prone to heart disease - but the risk was cut still further if they drank moderately.
The researchers followed nearly 12,000 men and women for nearly 20 years, during which 1,242 died from ischaemic heart disease (IHD).
Overall, they found people who did not drink or take any exercise had the highest risk of heart disease - 49% higher than people who either drank, exercised or did both.
When comparing people who took similar levels of exercise, they found that those who drank moderately - one to 14 units of alcohol a week - were around 30% less likely to develop heart disease than non-drinkers.
This finding held good for people who were completely inactive, through to those who took vigorous regular exercise - with the overall risk declining as exercise levels increased.
Non-drinkers who were physically active had a 31%-33% reduced risk of IHD compared to physically inactive non-drinkers.
7:00 Lack of illumination spoils cycling
Got 13.5 miles done this morning then noticed going up the park that front light was distincly weak. So turned back, come down Watery Lane in the pitch black no fun at all. Have put the Headlight that I use when I'm running in the bag for next time it happens.
Weighin later today and I KNOW there is a gain to be expected.
5:10 Again and Again
All the sevens again? B.p. this morning 125/77/59 excellent and well pleased.
