It threw me a bit too but I put it in in the hope it was correct and got it sooner than I thought after a slow start.
Walk done and threw in a few little jogs, sprints and high knee lifts to get the heart rate up without stressing the legs with too much pounding.
I went and let my mouse click on the buy button on a Concept 2 rower the other day
but will be about ten days before I get it I think. The more I read about them, the more they sound like the perfect cross training. There's loads of good instructional and motivational videos on YouTube plus you register for a Concept 2 log book to upload your rows and can do challenges, etc so should be enough to keep me interested.

You should have got that RowCycle, in my opinion.It threw me a bit too but I put it in in the hope it was correct and got it sooner than I thought after a slow start.

Scrummy breakfast this morning @Dave7
So today? Weather looks promising. When Mrs P returns I will go for a tramp over the hill. Some hoovering to do followed by cycle club admin and researching an accounts "package," sounds much grander than it is, for the U3A role I'm taking on.
Cycle club admin is to complete publishing rides/routes for the year. Usually it's a rush round on a Thursday morning to get ideas from people for the weekend. Anyone with experience of organising rides will know the feckin' nightmare this is.
Experimenting this year by publishing a full calendar of rides in January. That's 208 rides and routes.
Hopefully it will be a success?

At the gym I did the Concept 2 rower and have the T-shirt for one million MIt threw me a bit too but I put it in in the hope it was correct and got it sooner than I thought after a slow start.

Seems to work a lot of different muscles which is what I feel I am needing the older I am getting. Looking forward to it. I used one on the odd time I have ever joined a gym.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Still perishing here. 1 deg and the frost shows no sign of disappearing

The sun is finally out and the frost is disappearing 
Nor me. The American spelling did for me.
