New years eve

Two days off training but plenty to do starting with fulfilling a promise to my daughter that I'd have a joint horse riding lesson with her.  It was fun following her round the arena and it gave me a different perspective of how hard she works every week to improve.  I'm not sure if they could have found a wider horse but when I got off the beast my bum hurt and I think the next couple of days will involve me feeling pain in muscles I don't normally use.  Give me a slim bike saddle every day of the week as it hurts less and you don't come off smelling of horse!!  Now to start preparing the dinner for the family and our guests this evening as we like to see out the old year and welcome in the new year in style. Goodbye 2011 it's been a year of contrasting fortunes as you'd expect in life.  The key is using these experiences to make improvements in your life where you can and just hope you stay healthy.
