Hi, It's me again

Hi All,

After several false starts it's about time to give this another go.  My last attempt at plodding again was back in 2011 (April/May I think), it didn't go too well.  My target was to lose a stone (for starters) as I need to have a lumbar fusion (metal work and bone graft) and being as fit as possible will assist with recovery. 

Last year seemed to be a difficult year and instead of keeping up the running beer and cigarettes seemed to take over; not too sure why.

So over a year later I've managed to give up the smokes, I've lost nearly 2 stone through gym and my other love which is cycling.

Any way...enough waffling.

Congrats on giving up the weed, losing all that weight, cycling and picking up running again! Am sure all of those will aid your recovery. I had a discectomy in 2002 and it took me 12 weeks to recover!
