I graduated last year in September and was loving my new fitness and general overall feeling.

Then I was ill and couldn't run for 6 weeks and then it was Christmas where, by law, we tend to over indluge. Then it was January and here in the central plains of Czech Republic that means minus double digit temperatures for weeks on end. I had a few runs here and there but definitely not at where I was.

I had gone from 110kg down to 103kg in the summer but that has been creeping back up and is now at 106kg. So now the clocks have changed and we are above 0C there is only one thing for it....back to square 1.

Back to 'HI !! I'M MICHAEL JOHNSON!!' at 140db 3x week.

This time around I know I can do it each step as I know the program works. So any new comers that are thinking should they start, come and be a virtual running buddy for the next 9 weeks.

For those that haven't had to endure my ramblings, I apologise in advance for the coming 9 weeks.

For the regulars.....I'm back and as calm and normal as ever.
