General fitness

54 weeks ago today I registered at the local Sports centre to train in their gym to lose some weight and get fitter for the 2007-08 season. The goal was to pass the fitness test in March 2008.

This blog has told the tale of successes and failures over the last year or so. When I first joined the Sports centre I also used their swimming pool and found that despite having been an avid swimmer when I was younger, I couldn't swim more than 2x50m lengths before I got too tired to continue.

Mrs Rogue set off this morning and managed 16 lengths before she got tired and decided to rest. I then had a go and even after 14 lengths I was feeling strong enough to keep going but Rogue junior wanted to go get changed so I had to curtail my little swim. So next week I'm going for 25x50m lengths. It's a nice little diversion from pounding my way around the fields at Spring Mill!!!
