Starting somewhere...

A new blog for a new focus in my life - exercise generally make me happier, healthier and all round nicer to be near. I don't look much like someone who does a lot of exercise, and that's not likely to change much either!

I intend to use this space to log workouts, how I'm feeling about my training and how it seems to be affecting my mood.

I am definitely an Athena class - based on weight - and despite having completed two sprint distance triathlons in 2009 have ended up rather close to where I was in 2008 in terms of fitness. Partly due to emotional stuff, medication side effects, busy life and a couple of injuries - however I want and need to build healthy exercise into my life on a regular basis.

Currently I'm taking inspiration from the Slow Fat Triathlete book and blog, and working hard to embrace my body just as it is!
