So it’s been nearly two weeks since I wrote anything… 
I needed a vacation. But, I’m back.
Now, where do I begin? There has been so much going on in the last week that I really don’t know where to start. I suppose I can begin by letting you know that I’m totally sore. I just had a killer work out at Gold’s Gym the other day. My trainer worked me over! No lie. Last night, to wind down, I watched a little TV. After the show was over, I tried to get up – my legs gave out from under me.
Today, I was walking up a flight of stairs to get to my office… I had to hold the handrail for support. I just had to laugh when the receptionist asked if I was all right.
I better be better by Saturday – bobsled fitness assessment.

Welcome back Don, hope you had a great time. e given up
As for gyms, I’ve given up torturing myself. I figure my body aches more in the process of ageing, getting out of bed is a workout in itself. Just be kind to yourself.
Welcome back! When you said “I’m outta here” I was starting to think you meant for good!
Hope you’re moving around better soon and good luck on Saturday.
Don you were missed. You write such good things on your blog.
Awwwww I hope you are feeling better now.
Relax those sore muscles

So…..now you have released all those endorphins and your body is crying out because your muscles can’t cope with mopping up all that stuff that is released when you exercise…… are you asking yourself why you didn’t start a few weeks/months ago LOL!!!
Ibuprofen and a ton of water all the way baby!!
Hope you feel “normal” soon!!

PS…did you go anywhere nice for your hols???? I am currently at my other house in Devon, which is on the south coast…..beautiful beaches and glorious views……but the same old crappy English weather unfortunately LOL! However today was lovely, and I spent the afternoon “sitting on the dock of the bay”….. crabbing with my kids….well they crabbed, I just flipped every time they got too close to the edge, or a crab made a run for it along the path!!
I tell you what though…..sat navs are pants!! Just setting off home from the harbour…hit the button “home” on the state of the art techno device on my dash……and it told me “please bear right and continue along this road for 3,648 miles”……my 12 year old chirped up ” I always knew you were from outer space Mum!” Charming!!!!
Cor that was a bloomin long weekend….:)
Yep, always to get away for a while, especially when you feel you need it (and even when you don’t). But you were missed.
Hope you’re legs are feeling better by now. My legs give way all the time, but so does the rest of me…think its something to do with age…haha
Nice to see you back, have a good weekend (this would be the 2 day weekend…:) )

Welcome back, Don. We had wonder what happened to you.
We know you been busy with weddings back to back and vacation. We are glad to have you back. I hope you are well rested. Boy I need a vacation myself.
Aww. Poor thing. I know how you feel. I don’t exercise that much, but when I do. Boy I am sore for the whole week. I can’t seat. I can’t bend. I can’t do anything that has anything to do with my legs.
Soak your body. Take a long bath. I might not work, but I know when I’m sore, I do that.
Welcome back, Don. Good luck on your fitness assessment Saturday.
Welcome back!
DON – Hope you had a GREAT Birthday & a relaxful VACATION (Wow – You were gone long!!) Hope your soreness eases up soon so you can get ready for your BOBSLEDDING!!
So NO NEWS on your long vacation then – huh !?!? We all missed you while you were "OUTTA HERE"
Lyndy
P.S
I hope your body feels better.
WELCOME BACK! =)
I think some of us were speculating what was happening. I thought maybe you fell in love and your time for blogging was nil because of that. My feeling is when you fall in love all else shoots out the window in rapid pace. You either forget what your doing or just don’t have time for somethings that you do. Really that is what I thought. Maybe I thought that because I am a hopeless and I mean hopeless romantic!
Anyways it’s good to have you back!
