Came across this in a 100 top tips thing on Times Online – look how much more energy is burnt off running that cycling (although can only run at 60% of that pace wheres with cycling I can do a mile in 4.6mins without too much difficulty). Anyway makes me wonder whether I ought to just stick with the running for a few weeks. Am hoping to be golfing by the weekend.

Aldi - Top Fruit Offer for Food Optimising
Aldi have a ‘Super Six’ offer running at present in which they have sixe fruit/veg on special offer every week. This week I’ve had two pineapples, a carton of white grapes and two packs of golden delicious apples all at 59p per pack. You can’t beat it. Aldi’s blurb on it is as follows: “At Aldi, we always aim to offer the best quality products at the very best prices. That’s why, wherever possible we source our fresh fruit and veg locally to ensure better value. With everything in this month’s Aldi Super 6 just 59p, it’s now even easier to afford your recommended 5-a-day. Watch out for more amazing Aldi Super 6 offers at tasty low prices throughout 2008, at your local Aldi store.”.
Current weeks offer is: – white grapes, green apples, mixed peppers, large vine tomatoes, pineapples and baking potatoes all at 59p. Great value in my view and although there’s the chance that I might be wrong, am willing to wager that all the above are Slimming World syn-free foods (although that could depend on what you do with them cooking-wise).
