No turbo then ?

Not more than a week really - managed to get on a turbo with a broken hand straight away.... but sweaty casts aren't nice.....

2 weeks off with a holiday, but that doesn't count.......

3 months from November 2007 to February 2008 due to an injury, then quite a bit of last year due to the lurgy off and on until early December...the past 2 months are the longest I have been fit for a long while.

I did not cope very well to begin with TBH. A right grumpy bugger most of the time. But then I realised there was no point being grumpy and decided just to let things take their course....quite difficult as I gained a lot of weight and lost a lot of fitness. But I have lost half the weight in the past month and fitness is coming back as well - I have been quite surprised how quickly.

i can still go to the gym (4x a week atm) but its just not the same u kno? so i should easily maintain fitness if nt improve it.

broken thumb, in an enormously oversized cast, which stinks to high heaven :smile:

Sorry to hear that, but we might break your other one if you don't type properly :eek:.

Sorry, the one I quoted was perfect.

It was the original one that looked like it had been typed by someone with one arm in a cast that I was referring to.

How did you break it?

Was off for at least 6 weeks a few years ago having broken my collar bone in a fall. Wasn't fun- involved going to work by bus. :-(
