People have asked me why in my first post I used such a small photo of myself standing on the scales. What I think they mean is they can’t see just how heavy I am, so here is a larger version.
There are two observations I would make; firstly I don’t have dwarf toes like this, and secondly as the scales are showing 15st 3lbs I must buy myself a lighter camera.
The training has now started in earnest. You don’t realise how hard it is to get into shape until you get out of shape. Just being more human shaped is my immediate goal.
After I jogged my first mile, I was actually feeling quite good and wondered just how much worse things could get. Then realised that the marathon is at least 26 times worse.
Maybe I can just walk quickly and hope no-one notices.
