Every bit does help

Further to the 08 July 2012 Blog Post 'Every bit helps' regarding the New Balance 940 Men's Trainers in width size 4e; I have already received notification that they have been sent, and that they are due tomorrow!  Which is pretty cool seeing that tomorrow is Tuesday and the New Balance 940's weren't ordered until late Saturday night and the P&P is free.  More to follow as and when they arrive in wet and windy Wales.

Meanwhile I managed 15 minutes on the Cross Trainer earlier today, along with three sets of ten or more repetitions on each of the Abs, Lats, and Pecs machines, 10 minutes on the Concept II Rowing Machine, 10 minutes on the Treadmill on a CPR workout, 5 more minutes on the Cross Trainer at a higher level, 5 more minutes on the Treadmill at a greatly increased CPR workout, was taught how to leg stretch and done those stretches there and then and again a little later on, 1 mile around the 'Sports Track' with the usual 'walk the straights' and 'jog on the corners', 1 mile Campus up and downhill walk, and a few more leg stretches.  The old New Balance 859 trainers are just about holding out, but they are done for and the new one's are very much needed.  The New Balance 940 is an update of the old New Balance 859 version and should be (fingers crossed) good for the job.  I mention 'should be' as my New Balance 859 Men's Trainers were never put to the test when they had their strength and integrity and even when I started in the Gym a few weeks ago, there was no certainty that my desire for exercise would last or that my then almost 22 stone frame would cope with the stresses.  The frame has just about coped, only just, but maybe that coping will be enough to launch me onto the next and subsequent health targets.  Meanwhile don't be too late Mr Postman as there's an athlete (ha ha ha) somewhere inside here, bursting to get out.
