Wannabetri's IMAZ training log

[wannabetri]

Hello,
Going to start and track my training on here. None of you will be interested really, but I hope it's enough to achieve three goals:
- Get me round IMAZ in sub 11 hours
- Make Chappers think I might actually be able to beat him, even though I can't.
- Make CH think about doing some training, I don't think he'll do any but as long as the thought is there.
So let's start tracking.

Grrr. I can feel a keelhauling coming on.

Please - none of that. I like living!

Not you, Chappers. He needs to be fit, strong and fast come august bank holiday. While you need to be thinking of your knee and eating lots of doughnuts and drinking beer to get your strength back.
