Title: What Activity did you do today?
Post by: petehosk on November 09, 2011, 04:28:21 PM
Ok - thought I'd start a sort of "pat yourself on the back" kind of topic!
In here everyone should post what sports, gym, walk, run, cycle activity they did that day!
I see it as a way to pat ourselves on the back, but also to help motivate people to get out and do more?
But also to give you ideas to do activities you wouldn't normally think of doing (but kep it clean please!  ;) )

Yes Brucey! Tastes just like normal Coke, but because it is Lucozade it is a lot nicer!

See what it tastes like with Jd, my guess, what I expect it to.

I don't really know to be honest mate. I think I ran the first part much quicker than I usually do, and I was pretty determined to finish it quickly this week. Was school games so there was another (better) runner who I sneakily overtook. Beating him once I overtook him made me get a move on lol!

Yesterday night I went to winter nets for the first time this season. Batted for 20 minutes and bowled mostly with one other bowler in our net for an hour and five minutes. It's going to hurt tomorrow...

The 2nds captain commented that I was looking pretty nippy!
