Yet another day for the clocks to go back, so another lie in, which made my 7am gym session almost seem civilised. The gym is very busy at this time, not full, as there were free treadmills, but not far off. The swell was minimal this morning, which made my
It’s a shock when the alarm goes off and you’re missing an hour because the clocks didn’t go back, even so I dragged myself out of bed and off to the gym for the next session in the futile battle over my ever expanding waistline. 45 minutes later I was
