Kicked off the new year with a very serious, highly professional training session today — also known as a short family wander around Langold Lake. Nothing says “elite athlete in the making” like stopping halfway for soup and a roll while Suzie abandons all fitness ambitions to dominate the playground instead.
The legs got moving, the fresh air was inhaled, and the family time was strong. Bob, naturally, treated the whole outing like his personal wellness retreat, fuelled entirely by snacks and unearned confidence. Meanwhile, Clifton opted for the luxury package: staying home in the warmth, supervising absolutely nothing, and waiting for his new chariot to arrive so he can make his grand debut on future training adventures.
Once we made it back home, it was straight to feet‑up mode, hunting for a bit of inspiration by diving into Out on Your Feet. Because nothing says “ready for real training” like reading about other people doing far more impressive things while you recover from a gentle stroll.
If this is how the year starts, imagine the chaos once the real training begins.
