Well Xmas and New Year are finally out of the way (was it me or did it seem to go on for ages!), and its been back to the hard work of keeping the training level up.

First week back after the Xmas break (and battling the dreaded man flu) and those hills seem to get a little steeper when running, the weights seem to be just that little heavier, and the new punch bags seem to take it out of the arms that little bit more!.

So - situation normal then!!!

I keep telling myself that the hard part is over - getting stuck in - and that it will get easier and easier over the next few months.

I'll be back up to speed in no time.
