Wimp. I got 4 stitches in my right leg last night; next to the rugby pitch, then played on again. I'm 'ard, you see. And possibly a bit simple.

Looks good, but very pricey; I thought of buying a 20kg one for the rugby club until I saw the prices; will continue using logs and kettlebells until the prices come down.

Totally knocked drinking on the head now so I'm going to the other extreme.

Swim 3-5 miles a week over 3 or 4 visits to the pool. No resting between lengths either

You surprise me. I had you more down as an ageing hippy with long grey hair, cigar smoker and fond of too much whiskey type as opposed to an athlete
