The weather has been poor.
Been relaxing too much into the comfort of wine, beer, choccie and curry, not all at the same time i might add.
Weight has piled on.
Had a holiday with my beloved in the freezing dog toilet of Budapest, lots and lots of walking in sub zero temperatures.
Come home with my gout playing up.
Went to the doctors becasue my foot was so painful and swollen and now i have a confirmed stress fracture of my right foot.
The swelling is down now, but its still tender. And they reckon 8 week of rest......my arse!!
I reckon Cycling Plus towers has a voodoo doll of me, and they stick pins in so they can have a new story.
Anyone got an oxygen chamber i can use, if its good enough for the chav Rooney, its good enough for me!!
Now where did i leave my copy of War and Peace, amy as well go and read it again.

    Ouch, sorry to hear that Howie!

    What about going swimming to get your regular cardio-vascular fix? That shouldn't put too much strain on your foot.

    Hi Colin

    I am not sure if the local pool is still open, the only alternative are the fitness gyms, which do not really appeal to me. I will chat to my coach Joe Beer later today and see what he has to say.

    Sorry to hear of your predicament Howie.

    I've been out for 5 weeks now and still not sure when i will be able to resume exercise. It's soooooo..... frustrating.

    Hopefully, you are a quick healer.

    Best wishes.

    A lot of one-legged drills on the turbo, and by the time your fracture has healed you'll have good CV fitness and great pedal action with the one leg, but you'll look odd with one muscled leg and one skinny leg. :wink:

    Here's to a rapid recovery.

    you should have spent your time in the big thermal baths in Budapest. It;s so relaxing.

    Gentle cycling would be no problem with a stress fracure. Just keep it very easy
