| There is nothing worse than having a bad game of tennis, or is there? How about an injury that if left untreated can not only leave you in a lot of pain but can keep you away from the court entirely for a much as a couple of years? I know that I would gladly stick with my usual bad game than suffer any injury that leaves me with no choice about playing or not. If you don't believe me then just watch a tennis match and see if you can spot the injured player in the crowd who wants to be out there. With a face like a child's who has just opened the unwanted Christmas present slouched in their chair as though the life has literally been sucked out of them; they shouldn't be hard to spot.

We Did it! The 3 Peaks Challenge on 12. May 2009 in outdoors, 3 peaks, wspa, charity, The Challenge, walking, Legs, personal trainer, Stretching. |
| We did it! What a great feeling and sense of achievement it is. 24.2 miles and a total of 5,000 feet climbed and we managed it in 10 hours and 22 minutes and didn't get lost once. Both Nicky and I feel like we have been in a boxing match with a psychopathic dwarf as our legs feel as if they have been truly punished. You can hear us as we carefully climb each step of the stairs in our house as though we were tip-toeing across a hot plate and letting out little gasps of pain. So as you can imagine the next few days will mainly consist of stretching. The day itselfimg src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/obo3eAjik-A" height="1" width="1"/ |

| Regular readers will be aware that my wife Nicky and I have set ourselves a challenge to help raise money for the WSPA, a great charity that not only does its best to rescue suffering and mistreated animals but also educates people in less developed countries on how to treat and care for their farm animals so they get the most from them and farm more successfully. Our challenge is to walk the 3 Peaks in Yorkshire within 12 hours: a 24 mile marathon that includes 5000 feet of climbing.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/QtAEulHegec" height="1" width="1"/ |
