The aim for 2013 is to make sure my heart stays as healthy as possible going forward.
Now my pacemaker is settled and my cholesterol is normal, it's time to increase my fitness and lose a little more weight. I work less than a mile from home and I can take a scenic route by the canal rather than on petrol fumed roads. Although I can walk it in half an hour it is perfect for cycling which is a great way for getting fit and once I have a bike I will be able to go for bike rides in the various country parks nearby.
So, making use of the after-Christmas sales, I've been and bought myself a hybrid bike. Not having ridden a bike for 30 years, I am working on the premise that once you can ride a bike you never forget... hope it's true.
Tomorrow I go and collect my new bike and see whether I can still ride it or whether I should've bought elbow & knee-pads as well as a helmet.
