You can help!

Today I seem to be having another non-training day... could this be habit-forming? Before work I did my knee exercises instead of swimming crawl badly or more cycling, and after work due to a very sore throat, I had a hot bath instead of anything energetic... I also decided that as there are now only TEN DAYS before the triathlon, I really ought to encourage all of you to donate please! Tri for Life is supporting various charities this year, and one of them is the Great Ormond Street Theatre for Theatres appeal. Please click here and watch Ellie's video ...

My aim was to raise £200. As you can see from the box on the right, I already have pledges of £140 (at the time of writing) - but I'd like to make it to £300, with your help please. Although I'm entering the tri to have fun and be a bit fitter, it's also a fantastic opportunity to help others, and I'm going to give it my best shot...

Thank you!

OK - a quick PS on the knees - my left knee now has a huge dimple that I could pour soup into (if I was minded so to do)... is this normal?!
