Ammaki - I am fit but have never run before. I used to runa little bit when I lived near the beach, but only for like 10 mins at a time. So you mightn't be holding me back at all! (on the bike you totally would, but I'm just happy to see more people on two wheels)

Cherizzled - I have had luck at the local op shops here, around the Gabba. Generally the posher sort of suburbs have the better clothes, I reckon, as posher folk throw their clothes out in better condition. I also find i buy dresses that I need to be skinny to wear, and they help to keep me motivated.

Hmmm... not he best day today. I did my 30km bike, but stopped at Mrs Flannerys on the way home to get some stuff, and chucked in a little bag of vege chips Rest of the day pretty good - still drinking herbal tea like it's going out of fashion.
