January 3rd - Day 3

A much better training day.
After breakfast, I tried a bit of weight training - something which I haven't done for over a month. I kept it very light today, just enough to let my muscles know they were being used. I'll be increasing the kilograms very gradually over the next few weeks.
In the afternoon I took MontyDog for a 'walk' to the park. I took Lightning [my mountain bike] with me and we did three laps of the park. According to Sportstracker this is 5.34 miles. Not much, but it was quite an effort over the tree roots in the wet and muddy conditions.
After a healthy lunch, I set off for the first martial arts lesson of the year. It was very quiet in the dojo tonight: no girls, no white belts and no yellow belts. This resulted in the gloves coming out and some fighting taking place! So now I'm feeling a little bruised and battered but happy.
My dinner was a healthy stir fry.
I've got a bottle of ale open and I may well have a glass of cava to go to bed with too!
