Entry for 13th November, 2009

I have been back to the gym in an effort to regain my lost youth.
When I was younger, I was fairly fit. I ran a half marathon. I trained regularly in the gym. I could climb a flight of stairs without having to pause halfway up clutching the wall and wheezing like a 50 a day man groping for his first fag of the day.
The problem is, in my head I still see myself as athletic and fit. Regrettably, in the mirror I see a middle aged fat man eating a Danish pastry. I have to admit, most of my personal bests may well be behind me
